Best forIndependents and groups wanting a mobile, contactless guest experience

StayNTouch is a cloud property management system built around a mobile-first philosophy. Where many PMSs start at the front desk, StayNTouch starts with mobility: staff can manage the property from a tablet anywhere, and guests can check in and out from their own devices, enabling a more contactless, modern arrival experience.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland and part of the Shiji Group, StayNTouch appeals to independents and groups that want to modernize the guest journey. It focuses on the operational core and guest experience, and connects to booking engines, channel managers, and other tools through integrations rather than bundling everything itself.

Company & background

StayNTouch was founded around 2013 with a mobile-first vision for hotel operations, and is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland. It is part of the Shiji Group, a large global hospitality technology company, which gives it substantial backing and an ecosystem of connected tools.

Key features

StayNTouch centers on mobility and guest self-service.

  • Cloud PMS with a mobile, tablet-friendly interface for staff
  • Guest-facing mobile check-in and check-out
  • A more contactless, modern arrival experience
  • Rooms, reservations, and housekeeping management
  • Integrations to booking engines, channel managers, and other systems

Who uses it

StayNTouch suits independents and hotel groups that want to modernize the guest experience with mobile check-in and staff mobility. It is a fit for properties prioritizing a contemporary, contactless arrival and a flexible, integration-friendly stack.

Booking engine & distribution

StayNTouch focuses on the PMS and guest experience and connects to booking engines and channel managers through integrations rather than bundling them. For a direct-booking website, that means pairing a chosen booking engine that integrates with StayNTouch so reservations flow into the PMS.

Pricing model

StayNTouch is offered as a cloud subscription, generally scaled to property size and modules, arranged by quote. As an integration-friendly platform, hotels may also budget for the connected booking and distribution tools they choose.

Strengths & trade-offs

The strengths are a genuinely mobile-first design, a strong guest self-service and contactless experience, and the backing of the Shiji ecosystem. The trade-offs: booking and distribution come via integrations rather than one bundle, so a hotel assembles part of its stack, and the mobile-first way of working is a shift for teams used to a traditional front desk.
