StayCrew wasn’t built in a lab. Our founder runs three premium flats in Doshi Risington, Chennai. Every booking, cleaner turnover and guest message on them goes through StayCrew first. If a feature doesn’t survive our own guests, it doesn’t ship.

Questions

The questions hosts ask us.

What is StayCrew?

StayCrew is an operating system for Airbnb and short-stay hosts in India. It keeps your calendar in sync so you never double-book, sends guest messages on WhatsApp, runs self check-in, and keeps GST and TCS-ready books, with every property and every cleaner in one place. It works with the iCal link from your Airbnb listings, reaches guests on WhatsApp with no app to download, and structures revenue for Indian GST and TCS filing.

Does StayCrew stop double bookings?

Yes. Connect your Airbnb iCal link and StayCrew pulls in every booking and blocks clashing stays before a guest ever sees them.

Can StayCrew message guests on WhatsApp?

Yes. Once a guest opts in, welcome notes, check-in details and review nudges go out automatically on WhatsApp, in the language the guest reads.

How does self check-in work?

Each guest gets a simple page with the door code, WiFi and a short house guide, so arrivals run themselves with no midnight phone calls.

Is StayCrew GST and TCS ready for Indian hosts?

Yes. Nights, occupancy and revenue add up per property, with GST and TCS lines ready to hand to your accountant.

Can I manage my cleaners and team in StayCrew?

Yes. Cleaners, managers and every property sit in one view: who is arriving, what is ready, and what needs you.

How is StayCrew different from a spreadsheet or a generic property management system?

StayCrew is built specifically for Indian short-stay hosts. It connects to your Airbnb iCal link to block double bookings, sends guest messages on WhatsApp, and keeps GST and TCS-ready books, all in one place. A spreadsheet cannot catch a clash or message a guest, and StayCrew is set up with you during early access so it works from day one.

How much does StayCrew cost?

Early access is free, with no credit card to start — we set up your properties with you and get your calendar, WhatsApp and books working first. When paid plans launch, they will be ₹1,000–₹2,000 per property per month, and you will know the exact price before you pay anything.

Which booking calendars can I connect?

Airbnb works today: paste the iCal link from your Airbnb listing and StayCrew pulls in every booking and watches for clashes. Adding direct bookings (the ones you take on WhatsApp or phone) and more channels is on the way.

Who is StayCrew for?

StayCrew is built for Airbnb and short-stay hosts in India, from a single flat to a portfolio run with a cleaning team.

Why we built StayCrew

A guest remembers the welcome,
not the logistics.

Every double booking avoided, every cleaner who just shows up, every message answered before the guest worries — that is hospitality. The software should carry it, quietly, so you can be the host again.
