Early Check-In Automation: Turning Turnover Gaps Into Profit

On many days, housekeeping completes an apartment turnover by 12:30 PM, yet standard check-in is not until 3:00 PM or 4:00 PM. Meanwhile, the arriving guest just landed at the airport and would gladly pay $35 to check in immediately.

Automated Readiness Triggering

When housekeeping marks a unit clean in your PMS, GuestPortal automatically calculates arrival readiness and dispatches a dynamic SMS or push notification: "Your apartment is ready now! Unlock early access for 99 PLN."

The guest taps the link, pays instantly via Apple Pay or Google Pay on your Stripe account, and the smart lock code unlocks immediately. Zero staff coordination required.
