The product · software-only digital concierge

The front desk, one text away.

Consera is a software-only digital concierge for hotels. Guests scan a QR code and message the property team from their phone — no app, no install. Staff run the whole property from a dashboard on any tablet.

01

The offer

A single console replaces the walkie-talkies, the paper logs, and the guest app nobody downloads. Nothing to install, nothing to procure.

No hardware sold

Runs on what they have

Tablets and printers are the property's own. Consera runs on whatever they already have.

One login, all areas

One console, every role

Front desk, housekeeping, maintenance, and admin all sit behind a single staff sign-in.

Narrow by design

Hands off the PMS

PMS integration only resets occupancy and archives old chats between guests. Nothing else touches the PMS.

02

Who uses it

Front desk

Every active room thread, guest requests, staff notes, task creation.

Housekeeping

Task board filtered to housekeeping — check off as rooms are done.

Maintenance

Task board filtered to maintenance.

Admin operator

Everything — rooms, delivery modes, QR cards, printing, settings.

03

Guest access

One credential, issued at check-in, three ways to hand it over — all running on the same engine underneath.

Option 1

Key card

QR printed on or with the room key. The card is the key — no code to type.

Security: physical possession
Default Option 2

Receipt slip

QR plus a 5-letter access code on the check-in slip. Works at any property with zero integration.

Security: card + code
Option 3

In-room TV

QR on the room TV plus a rotating PIN on screen. A per-stay PIN defeats old photos.

Security: presence + rotating PIN
Lost credential? Front desk reprints in one tap. Failed attempts lock out the code. Tokens rotate every stay. Guests can optionally set their own PIN or enroll a 6-digit authenticator at check-in.
Security — not negotiable

Every room is locked. Every stay is rotated.

Guest access and staff access are strictly separated — the default flow is two-factor by design, and the same controls apply on cloud and on-premises deployments.

— Guest access

Two factors by default

The default credential is the QR plus the 5-letter code, rate-limited against guessing. Failed attempts lock the code out; tokens rotate at every check-out so a past guest's link is dead.

— Staff access

PIN + authenticator

Staff sign in with a rate-limited, scrypt-hashed PIN plus an optional RFC 6238 TOTP authenticator app. Sessions are server-side and revocable.

— Guest privacy

Data stays on the hotel's server

Conversations and guest notes live on infrastructure the hotel controls — cloud or on-premises. No third-party tracking, no ads, no data resale.

— Integrity

Archived and cleared

Every chat is logged, archived as durable JSON, and cleared before the next guest arrives.

05

Deliberately out of scope

Held back on purpose, not by oversight — each one keeps the base product simple and cheap to run.

Not included

Voice features

Bespoke and expensive to build; not part of the base product. See the roadmap.

Not included

Hardware

Software only. Tablets, printers, and receipt printers are the property's own.

Not included

AI concierge

Staff answer every message; the app routes and tracks, it doesn't reply on their behalf.

06

The ask: trial, then decide

We're not asking for a commitment to a full roadmap up front. We're asking for a trial — real guests, real staff, one property — and a straight conversation afterward about what's next.

1

Trial period

Consera runs on your property for a fixed trial window, on the existing MVP. No hardware to buy, no PMS rework — just the receipt-slip flow live at the front desk.

2

Feedback

At the end of the trial, we sit down with front desk, housekeeping, and admin and review what worked, what got in the way, and whether it earned its place at the desk.

3

Roadmap, if you're in

If the trial earns your continued investment, we open a prioritized feature roadmap — built around what your property actually asked for, not a generic backlog.

The roadmap only exists because you decided to keep going. Nothing past the trial is assumed — every feature below the fold is something we build because you told us it's worth building.
