staevi turns every room into a guest portal. One QR scan gives your guests the Wi-Fi, the house info, and the best of your town — bookable on the spot. No app to download, nothing to install.
Free to start. Works on any phone. Set up in an afternoon.
The QR code lives in the room. Everything else happens on the guest's own phone.
They land in your property's portal — greeted by name, with the Wi-Fi password, door code, house rules, and your contact details right there.
Your in-house menu, emergency numbers, checkout time, local tips — the twenty questions guests usually knock on your door for, answered before they ask.
Surf lessons, boat cruises, sunset rides, dinner tables — curated local experiences they can book and pay in a few taps, with perks only staevi guests get.
staevi replaces the laminated info folder, the Wi-Fi card on the desk, and half your WhatsApp messages — and adds an income stream on top.
Print it once, frame it, done. Each code opens that room's portal — created automatically when you add the room.
Guests message the property, not your personal WhatsApp. Rules acknowledgements, extension requests, and questions land in one inbox.
When your guest books a table or a surf lesson from their room, the operator pays staevi a booking fee — and 30% of that fee is yours. It comes out of what staevi earns, never out of the operator's takings, so nobody is worse off for you being paid. Tickets and direct room bookings pay you the same 30%.
Dinner, a transfer, a guided walk — list your own offerings alongside the local operators and take the booking in the portal. No commission, no booking credits: what your guests spend with you is entirely yours.
Guests order the brunch or log the honesty-bar beer from their phone. It lands on their tab, settled at checkout.
A long-table dinner, a full-moon braai, a workshop. Set the price and the seats, and staevi sells them — to your guests, and to anyone in town on the public events page. Scan them in at the door from your phone.
Put a nightly rate on a room and guests can book their next stay on their way out — no listing site, no 15%. staevi takes 5%, and the money reaches you at source.
staevi keeps your past guests as you go — every check-in, every direct booking — and writes to them for you when a week looks quiet. Pick a message, set the offer, send. You never handle the list, and anyone who opts out is dropped before the next one.
Put next week's bookings in and they wait for you on the day, with the guest's name and number. Check them in with one tap, and the portal is ready before they park.
Arrivals, check-ins, housekeeping, the till, tabs, messages, events and a guide builder — designed for one person running six rooms, not a hotel chain.
Add your property, name your rooms, print your codes. If you can type a Wi-Fi password, you can run staevi.
Surf schools, boat charters, stables, studios, restaurants — staevi puts your listing in front of guests the night they arrive, when they're deciding what to do tomorrow.
Listing is free and you keep 100% of what guests spend with you. You pay one booking credit — R50, flat, whatever the booking is worth — only when you confirm it, and it is refunded if the guest doesn’t show up. Restaurants can add their own QR menu for R249 a month if they want one; nothing else is a subscription.
Instant booking or approve-first — your call, per listing. Propose a new time when the weather turns. Guests pay you directly, however you already take payment.
A free coffee or a photo package costs you cents and makes staevi guests pick you over the place next door.
Markets, dinners, trail runs, festivals — listed by the people actually running them, sold direct. The price on the ticket is the price you pay: nothing is added at checkout.
You don't need a room or an account to open it. Guests staying at a staevi property see it inside their portal; everyone else can browse it on the web, buy a ticket, and walk in with the QR on their phone.
We're onboarding a small group of Eastern Cape properties first. Early-access places get white-glove setup and founding terms.
A real person replies — usually the founder, usually the same day.
