FlipStay is the free property management system for small hotels, motels, B&Bs and guesthouses. The live calendar, instant check-in, OTA channel sync, and tax-ready books the big chains pay thousands for — free forever, without the bill or the learning curve.
Free forever No card to start Set up in an afternoon
Four tools that usually come as four separate bills. In FlipStay they're one login, and they talk to each other.
The tape chart
Rooms run down the side, nights run across. See who's arriving, who's staying, and what's free tonight at a glance — then move a guest to a better room with a drag. Double-bookings become impossible because every channel reads the same grid.
Channel manager
Connect Booking.com, Expedia, and MakeMyTrip once. Sell the same room everywhere and FlipStay closes it off the second it's taken — so the overbooking phone call never happens.
Bring your own payments
Plug in the payment provider you already use and keep your own rates. Guests pay you directly — we never sit between you and your money, and we never take a cut of a stay.
GST, tax & accounting
Every stay files itself into a tax-ready invoice and a running profit-and-loss — slabs, inclusive or exclusive tariffs, the lot. When the accountant asks for the year's numbers, you send a link instead of a shoebox of receipts.
FlipStay is free because we earn from the big picture, not from you. We sell anonymised, aggregated market signal — what a room is worth across a whole region on a given night — to people who study travel demand. Never your guest list, never your rates, never anything that points back to your property.
No trial that expires, no “premium” tier holding your calendar hostage, no per-booking fee. The software stays free because the software was never the business.
What we pool, anonymised
What we never share or sell
If you run under fifty keys, FlipStay is shaped for the way you already work — not scaled down from something built for a 400-room resort.
Manage a handful of rooms between the school run and check-in. No back office, no training day — just your calendar in your pocket.
Front desk, housekeeping status, and tonight’s arrivals in one view, so a room goes from checkout to sold again without a phone call.
Branded confirmations, tidy invoices, and synced listings that make three rooms feel as polished as three hundred — minus the chain’s software bill.
Open FlipStay, add your rooms, connect a channel, and take tonight's booking. It's free — the only thing you're signing up for is fewer spreadsheets.
