Front Desk Today & Room Status

A guest-centric Today worklist (arrivals, departures, overdue departures, in-house count) alongside a room-centric Room Status board. Check in, check out, change rooms, or request cleaning without leaving the screen, and get an alert the moment a room is ready for an arriving guest.

Smart Room Suggestions & Holds

When checking in or changing rooms, Stay Quora ranks the available rooms for that guest: returning-to-the-same-room, VIP or loyalty tier, floor preference, and inspected-over-clean. Staff can also place a provisional hold on a ready room that releases automatically when it expires.

Attendance & Time Clock

Self-service clock in/out, a schedule-aware lateness policy, an exceptions queue for managers, and an attendance board with reports. Add a no-login kiosk at the entrance (QR badge or RFID reader) or wire up third-party clock-in hardware through a generic device connector.

Payroll Deductions & Corrections

Confirmed late arrivals flow into payroll as itemized deductions with per-period caps, recalculated safely without double-deducting. Fix time entries with a correction workflow and set up deductions per employee.

Unified Staff & Role Management

One Manage Roles dialog shows every role a person holds, core and addon, and where each comes from. Core Roles are available on every plan, addon roles are assignable only when that addon is installed, and a user with only addon roles lands on that addon's own dashboard.

Multi-Currency Booking Engine

Guests can view room rates converted into any of the property's enabled currencies, using daily-refreshed exchange rates. Conversion is a display estimate; reservations and charges always settle in the property's own currency, and SaaS billing amounts are shown in your local currency.

Mobile Check-in & Digital Keys

Guests request check-in online from their portal, staff verify and complete it, and the guest gets a digital key ready before arriving. Mobile check-in prepares the key; the formal front-desk check-in still handles occupancy, room charges, and payment gates.

Consolidated Financial Statements

With the Finance addon, Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, General Ledger and Trial Balance share one engine, and consolidated views roll every property up into group totals that equal the sum of the individual reports.
