Paper signature
Digital room-charge authorization
Room charges, authorized by the guest. Traceable by the hotel.
Move beyond verbal checks and paper signatures. Hotelnity lets guests authorize each room charge with a 4-digit PIN and keeps a clear digital record linked to the operation — ready to retrieve at checkout or whenever a charge needs to be reviewed.
Functional MVPWeb, no guest appPilot-ready
Example of the Hotelnity flow: a five-euro Pool Bar charge is linked to room 214, the guest authorizes it with a four-digit PIN and front desk gets an Authorized status.

The problem
The hardest part of a room charge often comes later.
At the outlet, asking for a room number and collecting a signature can feel quick. At checkout — or when a guest asks for detail or questions a charge — staff may need to find the original slip, match it to the stay and reconstruct what happened.
Loose receipts
Questioned charge
Different outlet checks
Hotelnity turns each room-charge authorization into a retrievable digital record linked to the stay, without replacing the PMS or the hotel's payment process.

How it works
Three steps at the outlet. A record that stays with the charge.
The guest experience remains simple while the hotel gains context that can be retrieved later.
- 01
The charge is linked to the stay
The consumption is associated with the active stay and the relevant hotel outlet.
- 02
The guest sees and authorizes
The guest sees the item and amount clearly and confirms the charge using a 4-digit PIN.
- 03
The authorization stays with the charge
The operation keeps an explicit status and history that staff can retrieve later for checkout, reconciliation or review.

Product
Two experiences. One authorization flow.
Front desk gets the context behind every room charge. The guest gets a focused web experience designed for one thing: seeing exactly what is being charged and authorizing it.
Operational visibility when it matters
Stay, guest, room, outlet, amount, status and history brought together so staff can understand the context of a charge without reconstructing it from separate records.
Room 214
Latest charges
Authorization without paper or an app
Item, amount, room and a 4-digit PIN: only the information needed to review and authorize the charge.

Operational impact
Less paper chasing. More confidence when it matters.
The value becomes visible at the moments where room charges normally create friction: at the outlet, at front desk, at checkout and whenever a charge is questioned.
Less checkout friction
When a guest asks for the detail behind a charge, staff can retrieve its context instead of searching for a signed paper slip.
Easier charge reviews
If a charge is questioned, the hotel can review its digital authorization and operational history rather than relying on memory or scattered paperwork.
Consistent authorization
The same PIN-based flow reduces dependence on different manual checks and criteria at each outlet.
Clearer guest experience
The guest sees the item and amount before authorizing it — with no handwritten signature and no app to install.
Security and control
Fast to authorize. Controlled by design.
The PIN keeps the interaction simple for the guest while Hotelnity makes the authorization state, timing and operational actions explicit for the hotel.
4-digit PIN
Digital authorization without requiring a handwritten signature.
Attempt protection
The PIN locks after 3 incorrect attempts.
Time-limited authorization
The MVP authorization proposal remains valid for 5 minutes.
Traceable actions
Cancellations and voids remain visible in the history instead of making the operation disappear.
Explicit state
Front desk can distinguish whether the operation is awaiting authorization, authorized or voided.
Operational fit
An authorization layer, not another PMS.
Hotelnity is designed to sit alongside existing hotel operations and solve one focused problem: making room-charge authorization explicit and keeping that authorization connected to the charge.
Your PMS, POS and payment processes keep doing their job. Hotelnity adds the authorization and traceability layer between them.
Product vision
Today, authorization. Tomorrow, controlled room spending.
The MVP solves the first problem: knowing when a room charge has been explicitly authorized and keeping that context available. The same authorization layer can evolve into configurable spending rules for different guests, stays and hotel use cases.
Future directions
Spending limits
Define maximum spending amounts by guest, stay, day or outlet.
Family & guest permissions
Decide which guests linked to a stay can charge to the room and under which conditions — including family and minor-use scenarios.
Prepaid credit
Assign a prepaid allowance, package balance or credit and deduct authorized consumption from it.
Contextual rules
Define where, when or what a guest can charge depending on the hotel's operating model.
Future product directions for validation with hotel partners. Not part of the current MVP.
