About us

Built by people who have run the sites

StayWorks started with two people tired of watching great glamping sites held together by spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups. So we built the system we wished we had.

Proudly based in Lancashire

Our story

From spreadsheets and group chats to one simple system

StayWorks was built by Reece and Dan, a software development partnership from Lancashire. Between us we have more than 30 years of experience across software development and hospitality, and we have spent a long time on both sides of the counter.

We have run glamping sites ourselves, and we have worked as consultants for other festival-based glamping sites. Wherever we looked, especially at temporary sites, we saw the same picture: a muddled mix of spreadsheets, Google Forms and WhatsApp groups, with staff in one place, guests in another and bookings somewhere else entirely.

So we set out to improve communication, organisation and booking, and to bring all of those disconnected tools into one easy-to-use workflow that works for site owners, guests and staff alike. That is StayWorks.

Everything you need to make a stay work.

What we believe

How we build StayWorks

Three simple ideas shape every decision we make.

One price includes everything

You shouldn’t have to pay a fortune more to get the features that make your site stand out. Every module is included in the price, so you can use what you need without worrying about the bill.

Usability first

StayWorks is a complex piece of software, but you would never know it. Our staff and guest apps need zero onboarding, because everything is designed to be intuitive from the first tap.

All-in-one software

We’ve built StayWorks to hold every feature and module your site could ever need. And if it doesn’t have what you’re looking for, just ask and we’ll do our best to help.
