For independent merchants

Drive real visits, not just digital clicks.

GuestNetwork helps local businesses create stay-verified offers that can only be redeemed in person. The goal is to bring nearby guests into your restaurant, shop, gym, spa, activity, service, or local experience during their stay window.

Merchant fit

Built for businesses that benefit from face-to-face visits.

GuestNetwork is for independent local businesses that can honor a clear in-person offer, perk, booking, walk-in, or experience.

Merchant promise

Be discovered by the guests already nearby.

GuestNetwork helps local merchants reach visitors staying in nearby hotels, Airbnbs, VRBOs, campgrounds, event venues, and lodging properties. Instead of paying commissions, buying ads, or discounting through extractive platforms, merchants can create in-person offers that bring guests directly through the door.

Merchant promise

No ads. No commissions. No take-rate. No online-only coupons.

GuestNetwork is funded by small flat merchant subscriptions by business type and size. Local businesses keep their margins and use the pass to create real-world customer visits.

Gamification and campaigns

Make the destination feel fun, rewarding, and alive.

GuestNetwork can support more than discounts. It can power challenges, badges, local trails, prizes, awards, campaigns, events, ambassador routes, and limited-time rewards that give guests a reason to explore in person.

Challenges

Visit three local spots

Guests complete a dining, shopping, coffee, wellness, or family route and unlock a reward after verified in-person redemptions.

Badges

Digital stamps and badges

Each in-person visit can earn a stamp, badge, or milestone without requiring a native app download.

Awards

Local prize drawings

Guests who complete routes can enter drawings for local gift baskets, dinner, experiences, merchandise, or return-visit rewards.

Events

Weekend and event campaigns

Build visitor routes for sports tournaments, festivals, weddings, conferences, graduations, holidays, and shoulder-season weekends.

Gym access

Travel fitness passes

Guests can unlock local gym, yoga, pilates, recovery, swimming, or wellness access during their stay without signing up from scratch in every new area.

FOMO

Checkout countdown offers

Final-day coffee, brunch, massage, shopping, luggage storage, and local gift offers become visible as checkout approaches.

FAQ

How the stay-active pass works.

GuestNetwork is designed to be simple for guests, controllable for merchants, useful for lodging partners, and measurable for destination organizations.

Is the pass available to everyone?

No. GuestNetwork is designed around approved stay addresses and active check-in/check-out window. Guests become eligible because their stay is active.

Can merchants control their offers?

Yes. Merchants can control the perk, deal, reward, discount, cap, blackout time, redemption method, eligible dates, and audience fit.

Can passes be customized?

Yes. Passes can be designed around cities, neighborhoods, events, sports fans, families, couples, conferences, weddings, wellness travelers, or merchant categories.

How do groups work?

A party staying at the same approved location can receive linked access. Rules can define whether perks are per guest, per room, per booking, per party, or per redemption.
