Beware clunky auto refill

No way to turn off auto refill so once you start using the app you’re stuck always with a balance of more than 25$.

Impossible to properly Connect

I try to open an account but there is is a bug to autentify. Costumer service contacted : they just considère i’m not capable to properly type my password (While automatically manage by Windows)
I really wanted to use and pay for this service but it is just impossible
Increadible to see such situation.
Kit a good sign for the rest of the service….

Very expensive!

Great system - meh interface

Keycafe’s system is great and works flawlessly almost every time. The actual app looks like it was developed in some random guys basement. Hard to market an app when it looks like it belongs on the original iPhone

Service commercial déplorable

Bonjour,
Expérience désastreuse avec le service commercial de Keycafe, très peu de retour sur les différentes sollicitations faites au service commercial, promesse de remboursement écrite mais non effectuées malgrés les demandes...
Nos relations commerciales avaient cependant très bien commencées, dommage car le produit fonctionne parfaitement bien

FAQ

What does the Keycafe app do?

The Keycafe app is a key management system that works with Keycafe SmartBoxes. It allows you to control who has access to your keys, track when they are accessed, and verify users with photo ID. This is ideal for managing keys for businesses, property rentals, and the sharing economy.

How does Keycafe manage keys?

The app connects to Keycafe SmartBoxes, which are IoT-enabled lockboxes. You can grant access to specific individuals for set periods, and the app records all access events. This ensures you always know who has accessed your keys and when.

Is Keycafe free to use?

The app itself is free to download and use. However, it requires a Keycafe SmartBox, which can be purchased, or you can utilize their network of publicly distributed SmartBoxes in various cities. Usage of the service may involve costs associated with the SmartBox hardware or rental.

What kind of businesses can use Keycafe?

Keycafe is designed for a wide range of businesses, including property management, auto dealerships, car rental agencies, trucking companies, facilities, universities, hospitals, municipalities, and commercial/retail offices. It's also beneficial for those in the sharing economy like Airbnb hosts and service providers.

Where can I find a Keycafe SmartBox?

Keycafe has a distributed network of public SmartBoxes in over 50 cities worldwide, including major locations in North America, Europe, and Asia. You can check their website for a list of available cities and sign up to be notified when a location launches near you.
