The Stayworks Host Kit: the Host Profit Tracker dashboard on a laptop, the printed welcome book, house signs and checklists
For short-term rental hosts

Created by Tess, after one too many 11 p.m. Wi-Fi messages

Stop Losing 5-Star Guests to a Poorly Set Up Property

Most hosts don't lose reviews because of their space. They lose them because guests can't find the answers, turnovers skip a step and nobody knows what the place really keeps. The Stayworks Host Kit fixes all three in one download: a Host Profit Tracker for Google Sheets & Excel, a 31-page Welcome Book, a digital guest guide, 60 House Signs, 30 Turnover Checklists and more.

  • A Profit Tracker that shows what each property keeps after platform fees, cleaning and supplies
  • A Welcome Book guests actually read, printable and on their phone
  • 60 House Signs and 30 room-by-room Turnover Checklists
  • Edit in free Google Sheets & Docs, or Excel & Word. No Canva account needed

Sound familiar?

It's 11:40 p.m. and your phone buzzes again

  • "What's the Wi-Fi password?" for the third time this week
  • A review that says "check-in instructions were confusing"
  • A cleaner who forgot the spare towels, again
  • Five payout emails and a shoebox of receipts at tax time
  • No idea which month, or which property, actually kept money

None of that is about your space. It's about the setup: where the answers live, how the turnover runs and whether anyone adds up the numbers.

Before: a sticky note with the Wi-Fi password and scattered receipts. After: a welcome book, a Wi-Fi sign and the profit dashboard

A note from Tess

Why I made this

It was 11:40 p.m. and my phone buzzed again. Same guest, same question: the Wi-Fi password. It was written on a sticky note on the fridge, which had fallen behind the microwave sometime that afternoon.

I had tried what most hosts try. Longer listing descriptions nobody reads. A folder of free templates that only opened in one design app. A notes file of messages I retyped every stay. And at tax time, a shoebox of receipts and five platform payout emails that never added up to one clear number.

Then it clicked. The guests weren't careless and I wasn't lazy. The answers lived in my phone, the turnover lived in my head and the numbers lived in my inbox. None of it lived where it was needed.

If you have answered the same guest question five times this week, you're not a bad host. Nobody hands you the paperwork side of hosting. The answers just haven't been put where guests look yet.

So I set it up once, in three layers. A welcome book and signs for the guest. Checklists for every turnover. And a spreadsheet that adds up every booking and every expense per property. I called it The Three-Layer Host Setup, and I built it in Google Sheets and Docs so it opens anywhere, for free.

I built it for my own suite first. This is the whole setup, cleaned up so you can fill in your property name tonight instead of starting from a blank page.

GIVE ME THE THREE-LAYER SETUP
The big idea

The Three-Layer Host Setup

Guests judge the setup, not the space, and you can't fix what you don't measure.

What most people believe

My reviews and my numbers depend on the property itself, so the fix is a nicer sofa, better photos or more nights booked, and the paperwork can wait until I have time.

What changes it

Most of what guests complain about and most of what hosts can't see lives in the setup: the answers guests can't find, the turnover steps that get skipped and the numbers nobody adds up. Set those three layers up once and the property can finally show what it is.

How it works

The Three-Layer Host Setup

Three layers every well-run rental has. The kit gives you each one, ready to fill in.

1 · Numbers layer

Host Profit Tracker (Google Sheets & Excel)

Most hosts don't know what each property keeps after cleaning, platform fees and supplies. They just hope. Log each booking and expense once and the tracker does the math: income, costs and profit per property, month by month.

How the tracker works: bookings and expenses go in, the dashboard shows profit, occupancy and nightly rate per property
  • Bookings log: nights, fees and net payout calculated
  • Expenses log by property and category
  • Dashboard: profit, occupancy, average nightly rate, RevPAR
  • Monthly P&L per property and Property Comparison
  • Occupancy calendar and full-year view per property
  • 5-Year Plan with your own assumptions
  • Up to 10 properties · dropdowns and checks built in

Works in free Google Sheets and in Excel

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a download or a physical product?

It's digital. Right after checkout you get a personal access page with every file. Print the welcome book and signs at home or at any print shop.

Do I need Canva or any design software?

No. The spreadsheets open in free Google Sheets or in Excel. The documents open in free Google Docs or in Word. PDFs are included for printing straight away.

There are free templates online. Why pay?

Free templates give you one piece at a time: a checklist here, a welcome book there, usually locked to one design app or behind an email signup. This is the whole setup in one place, already connected: the guest layer, the turnover layer and the numbers layer, editable in free tools you already have.

Does the tracker connect to my booking platform?

No, and that's on purpose: you type or paste each booking (takes seconds), so your data stays yours and nothing breaks when a platform changes. The tracker does all the math.

I have more than one property. Does it work?

Yes. The tracker handles up to 10 properties, with a dashboard per property and a side-by-side comparison. Signs and checklists can be reused in every place.

Is the tracker tax or accounting advice?

No. It organizes your numbers so they're easy to read and easy to hand to your accountant. Rules vary by location, so check with a professional for your situation. The house rules and letters are templates too, not legal advice.

Which platforms is it for?

Any short-term rental, vacation rental or holiday let: the big booking platforms, smaller ones and your own direct bookings. Platform names are editable dropdowns.

Who is Stayworks?

A small team that builds practical, editable tools for independent hosts. No fluff, no subscriptions: files you own and use.

Is there a guarantee?

Absolutely. A full 365 days. If it isn't a fit, email support and we'll refund you in full.

P.S. You really only have 2 options...

OPTION #1: Keep answering the same guest questions at night, keep re-explaining the turnover to every cleaner and keep guessing what each property keeps... Or...

OPTION #2: Set up the three layers once. Welcome book and signs for your guests, checklists for every turnover, and a tracker that adds up every booking and expense. It's only $19 for a limited time, with a 365-Day Money-Back Guarantee.
