Stop Running Your Hotel on Paper
Hotel management software for independent and boutique hotels — direct booking, housekeeping, maintenance, and front-desk payments, without the enterprise price tag.
Enterprise hotel software costs $300–700 a month and assumes you have an IT department. Independent and boutique hotels don't — they have a front desk, a housekeeping team, and a maintenance list a mile long. Gorilla Stay is hotel management software and independent hotel software built for exactly that: the modern-hotel experience your guests expect, at a price that makes sense for a small property.
The paper problem at independent hotels
Most independent hotels still run on:
- Paper check-in cards
- Handwritten housekeeping schedules
- Sticky notes for maintenance issues
- Excel spreadsheets for reservations
- Cash or manual card swipes
Meanwhile, your guests expect the experience of a modern hotel. Gorilla Stay bridges that gap — without the $300–700/month price tag of enterprise hotel software.
What Gorilla Stay will include
Direct Booking Page
Your own branded booking page. Guests book directly — no OTA commission (15–20% per booking). For a hotel doing $500K/year, that's potentially $75–100K staying in your pocket instead of going to online travel agencies.
Housekeeping Task Management
When a guest checks out, housekeeping tasks generate automatically — “Clean Room 101,” “Replace linens,” “Restock supplies,” “Inspect for damage.” Housekeepers check off on their phone, and the room shows as Ready when done.
Maintenance Tracking
Log repair tickets for any room or piece of equipment. Track parts ordered and time to resolution. Never lose a maintenance request in a sticky note again.
Front Desk Payments
Process cards with our Verifone terminal, collect deposits at booking, add room charges, and print folios — all integrated.
Staff Scheduling
Schedule front desk and housekeeping staff. They clock in on their phone, you approve timecards weekly, and hours export to payroll.

How many rooms can it handle?+
It's designed for independent and boutique properties and scales to your room count — whether you run a handful of rooms or a few dozen.
Does it replace our current PMS?+
For most independent hotels, Gorilla Stay replaces the paper, spreadsheets, and basic property-management workflows you rely on today — reservations, housekeeping, maintenance, and payments in one place.
What hardware do we need?+
Very little. Payments run on a Verifone terminal, and your staff use their own phones for housekeeping and maintenance tasks — no expensive on-premise hardware required.
