Why Traditional Check-ins Are Outdated

Traditional check-in methods often involve in-person key handovers, manual ID checks, and cumbersome paperwork. This can lead to:

• Time-consuming administrative tasks: Property owners report saving an average of 3.5 hours per week on administrative tasks.
• Security risks: Difficulty verifying guest identities accurately.
• Guest inconvenience: Long waits or complicated instructions for guests.
• Deposit disputes: Challenges in securely collecting and managing security deposits.

HostPass addresses these pain points directly, offering a modern, automated approach that benefits both hosts and guests.
