The Host Co is a US-based platform that enables short-term rental hosts to create a digital in-stay storefront of purchasable add-ons and experiences, generating ancillary revenue without hosts managing vendor relationships or fulfilment themselves.
Hosts set up a curated mini-market of upsell items accessible to guests before or during their stay. Available categories include early check-in and late checkout fees, pet fees, in-home massage and wellness services, private chef bookings, local experiences, gear rental, firewood, and property-specific consumables. The Host Co manages vendor scheduling, payment collection, and delivery confirmation on behalf of the host, who receives revenue from each transaction without handling logistics. Storefronts integrate with StayFi WiFi splash pages, surfacing upsell options directly on the property WiFi login page. PMS integrations enable booking data synchronisation for automated guest targeting. The platform operates on a commission-per-transaction model rather than a flat subscription.
Short-term rental hosts and property management companies in the US, particularly those operating in leisure and multi-night destinations, who want to monetise the guest stay beyond accommodation revenue.
