About

StayNTouch is a cloud-based property management system (PMS) for hotels and resorts, providing front desk operations, reservations, housekeeping management, and guest engagement tools through a modern, mobile-first platform designed for staff who manage check-ins, room assignments, and guest services from tablets rather than a traditional front desk terminal. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, StayNTouch has raised approximately $50 million and serves boutique hotels, independent properties, and hotel chains that want a flexible, modern PMS to replace legacy on-premises hotel management systems.\n\nStayNTouch's platform enables hotels to provide mobile check-in and digital room key capabilities — guests receive a mobile check-in link before arrival, complete the check-in process on their smartphones, and receive a digital room key (on iPhone or Android) without waiting at the front desk. Staff use tablets to roam the lobby assisting guests rather than being anchored to a front desk terminal. The integration with payment processors, door lock systems (Dormakaba, ASSA ABLOY), and OTAs (Booking.com, Expedia) creates a connected property management ecosystem.\n\nIn 2025, StayNTouch competes in the hotel PMS market against Oracle OPERA (the dominant enterprise hotel PMS), Mews (cloud-native competitor), Apaleo, Cloudbeds (indie/boutique focused), and Protel for property management share. The hotel technology market has been undergoing a cloud migration from legacy on-premises systems — hotels that have historically run Oracle OPERA or similar systems on local servers are evaluating cloud-native alternatives. StayNTouch was acquired by Shiji Group (a Chinese hospitality technology company) in 2021, providing global distribution capabilities. The 2025 strategy focuses on expanding its cloud PMS for mid-market hotel brands and growing its contactless guest experience capabilities.
