Why Operators Choose SuiteOp

End-to-End Operations, Not Just a Digital Guidebook

Touch Stay replaces the paper welcome book, and that's where it stops. SuiteOp is the first guest operations platform that connects guest experience with back-of-house operations. When a guest requests an upsell, tasks are automatically created for housekeepers. When devices go offline, maintenance tasks are triggered. Touch Stay can't do any of this.

Guest experience + operations in one platform

Honest Take

When Touch Stay might be a better fit

If you manage 1-5 properties, only need a digital welcome book with local recommendations, and already have separate tools for locks, verification, and operations that you're happy with, Touch Stay's focused guidebook product is well-designed and affordable. Their offline access and PDF export are genuinely useful for remote properties.

FROM OPERATORS

What Operators Say

  • Touch Stay was a nice guidebook, but we were sending guests three different links: one for screening, one for check-in, one for the guidebook. SuiteOp unified everything into one flow.

    🏖️Property manager95 units
  • We outgrew Touch Stay the moment we added smart locks. They have zero IoT integration. SuiteOp connected all our devices and tied them directly into the guest journey.

    🏔️Vacation rental operator140 units
  • The gap between a guidebook and an operations platform is massive. Touch Stay showed guests information. SuiteOp actually executes on it. Tasks, devices, verification, all connected.

    🏙️Operations director250 units
  • We were paying for Touch Stay plus Autohost plus a lock management tool plus a task manager. SuiteOp replaced all four and the guest experience is seamless.
