Getting Started
Welcome to StaYantra. This guide will walk you through the essentials of setting up your account, understanding your role, and using our safety guardrails.
1. Logging In
To access the StaYantra dashboard:
- Go to
https://app.stayantra.com. - Enter your registered email address and password.
- Click Log In.
2. Roles in StaYantra
Every user on the platform is assigned a specific role, which controls what data they can see and what actions they can perform:
- Owner (Remote Owner): Full access to financial metrics, pricing overrides, staff rosters, and Exubee's autonomy settings. Owners can graduate tasks to Auto-Pilot.
- Manager: Day-to-day operations access. Can create bookings, assign tasks to staff, approve general Co-Pilot recommendations, and view shift handovers.
- Staff (Receptionists, Housekeepers, Maintenance): Access to the mobile app (Connect) to view assigned housekeeping and maintenance checklists, log room statuses, and process basic front-desk check-ins.
- Finance/Accounting Roster: Access to folio ledgers, payment reports, payroll estimates (gross; statutory deductions are not yet computed), and expense processing.
3. Managing Multiple Properties
If you own more than one hotel, StaYantra is not limited to a single property. Logging in gives you a portfolio snapshot across all your hotels, and you can switch between individual properties from the dashboard at any time. Each hotel's data — bookings, staff, pricing, folios — stays fully separate; switching properties never mixes numbers or records between hotels.
4. Co-Pilot vs. Auto-Pilot in a Nutshell
In Co-Pilot mode, Exubee proposes actions (like adjusting rates or drafting marketing campaigns) which you must review, edit, or approve before execution. In Auto-Pilot mode, Exubee executes actions automatically within boundaries you set, logging every action for audit. A task graduates to Auto-Pilot only after it sustains a 90%+ approval rate across at least 100 real decisions over 60+ days, with zero guardrail breaches in that window — and only the Owner can flip the switch.
5. The Kill Switch
Safety and control are fundamental to StaYantra. If Exubee executes a task you did not intend, or if you want to temporarily halt all autonomous actions, use the Kill Switch.
How it Works
- The Kill Switch is a prominent red button at the top right of your desktop dashboard and mobile header.
- When activated, all of Exubee's active background tasks are instantly frozen. No pricing updates will be pushed, no marketing campaigns sent, and no automated checklists dispatched.
- The system drops back entirely to a manual PMS until you review the pending actions, resolve any concerns, and manually turn the Kill Switch off.
[!IMPORTANT] The Kill Switch is an emergency brake. When it is ON, Exubee will not assist with booking routing, automatic housekeeping assignments, or pricing optimization.
The Kill Switch lives on the Autonomy Settings page — toggle it off to halt all of Exubee's background tasks instantly.
