One system
Everything your property runs on, in one place.
No more juggling a booking spreadsheet, a separate till, an invoice template and an accountant’s inbox. Every module shares the same guests, rooms and money.
Point of sale
Bar, restaurant and shop tills. Charge to the room, split the bill, or take mobile money by network.
Smart invoicing
Invoices raise themselves from bookings, and file as smart invoices in one step.
Accounting that fills itself in
Room, POS and event income, expenses, bank balances and profit — posted as the work happens, not typed up at month end.
Housekeeping
Room status, tasks, maintenance and linen, updated as guests come and go.
Reports & night audit
Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR and a nightly close you can email in one click.
Events & conferences
Book halls and gardens, and track deposits and what is still owed.
Guests & loyalty
Profiles, preferences, repeat-guest flags and a points programme.
Online bookings
Take bookings from your own website, or get listed on the LodgeDesk booking page.
Corporate accounts
Credit limits, payment terms and statements for the companies you bill.
Front desk
Know what needs you before anyone has to ask.
Guests still in the room past check-out, today’s arrivals and departures, and the rooms that need turning are right at the top — each one a click from being dealt with.
- Check in, check out, extend or move a guest in one click
- Late check-outs and unpaid balances flagged in red
- A month calendar with occupancy for every night
Point of sale
Every sale lands in the right till.
Cash, card, Airtel Money, MTN MoMo and Zamtel Kwacha each post to their own account, so the end-of-day count matches what the system says.
- Charge drinks and meals straight to the guest’s room
- Stock counts drop with every sale, with suppliers and purchase orders
- Edits and voids locked to managers
Money
Tax-ready invoices. Books that balance.
Rooms, POS and events flow into one set of accounts, with VAT and levies worked out the way you charge them and smart invoice filing a button away.
- Smart invoicing for bookings and POS receipts
- Profit and loss, bank balances and outstanding balances
- Corporate accounts with credit limits and statements
Built for Africa
Built for how hospitality
works here — not adapted for it.
The things other systems treat as edge cases are the everyday here. LodgeDesk was designed around them from the first line of code.
Your currency, natively
Price, invoice and report in any of 54 African currencies - not a dollar system with a converter bolted on.
Smart invoicing built in
File fiscal invoices from bookings and POS sales. VAT, Tourism Levy and service charge set up the way you charge them.
Mobile money by network
Take Airtel Money, MTN MoMo and Zamtel Kwacha, each reconciled to its own till in your accounts.
Keeps working offline
Reservations and POS keep running when the connection drops, and sync the moment it is back.
WhatsApp where guests are
Send booking confirmations and answer enquiries on the channel your guests actually use (Enterprise plan).
Support that knows the market
Help from a team that knows local currencies, levies and what running a property here actually takes.
Zoey, your AI assistant
Ask your property a question. Get a straight answer.
Zoey reads your bookings, rooms and revenue so you don’t have to build a report. Ask in plain English and get the number, with the context around it.
- “How many check-ins do we have tomorrow?”
- “What was our occupancy last weekend?”
- “Which invoices are still unpaid?”
Zoey
Online
Good morning. You have 3 check-ins this afternoon and 1 departure due at 11:00.
How is RevPAR looking this month?
Up 14% on last month. Occupancy is steady and your average rate has risen week on week.
Anything I should chase?
Room 203 was due out at 11:00 and hasn't checked out. Want me to flag it for housekeeping?
Who it’s for
Sized for your property.
From a ten-room lodge to a hotel with a restaurant, a bar and a conference room — and businesses with no rooms at all.

Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Your 7-day free trial starts as soon as you sign up, and no card is needed.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. The front desk, reservations and POS keep working offline and sync automatically once you are back online.
Does it support smart invoicing?
Yes. Invoices from bookings and POS sales can be filed as smart invoices from inside LodgeDesk, with the fiscal receipt number and QR code printed on the receipt.
Which payment methods can I take?
Cash, card, Airtel Money, MTN MoMo, Zamtel Kwacha, split payments and room charges. Each method can post to its own till or bank account.
What happens when my trial ends?
Your account is paused and your data is kept for 30 days. Upgrade any time to pick up where you left off.
Is my data safe?
Every property's data is isolated at the database level with row-level security, so no data is shared between properties.
Can I take bookings from my own website?
Yes. Use the booking webhook or the embeddable widget, or share your LodgeDesk public booking page.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade from Settings at any time.
