Guest experience platform
Sona gives your guests in-room dining, requests, and a bilingual concierge — branded to your hotel, opened with a single scan. No app to download. No login. Nine languages. Live in days.
Built on one belief: every guest is a VIP.
We could show you a wall of logos. We'd rather show you three weeks inside a real hotel. A hotel ran Sona with real guests for three weeks. Guests scanned the QR code in their room — no app, no login, nothing to explain. Housekeeping, engineering, valet and the kitchen worked the board every day. These are the numbers the platform recorded.
86% of those requests came from guests themselves — not typed in by the front desk. Figures are from the platform's own request log, 21 June – 10 July 2026, real guests only (demo and seed rows excluded). We don't name the property publicly. We'd rather give you a real number than a borrowed logo.
Both halves are the same live demo — start in the guest app, tap Open the staff view, and send a request as a guest to watch it land on the staff board in the other tab.
The gap
Calls to a front desk that's already busy. Printed binders no one opens. Room-service orders lost to voicemail. Every missed request is a worse stay — and every un-ordered meal is revenue left on the table.
Other tools bolt a texting app onto the problem. Sona replaces the whole moment with the one thing every guest already knows how to use: their phone, and a QR code in the room.
What we believe
You know VIP treatment when you feel it: your name remembered at the desk, an answer at 11pm, an order you can watch arrive. Most hotels can only give that to a handful of rooms — the suites, the top tiers, the names the manager knows by heart. Sona exists so that kind of care reaches room 114 on a sold-out Saturday, not just the penthouse floor.
We believe the biggest driver of revenue is customer service. Guests who are looked after order more, say yes more, and come back. Fifteen years at the desk taught us that. A three-week pilot with real guests is the first time we could put a number on it — 107 requests, 91% closed, nine and a half minutes to a first answer. For room 114 and the penthouse alike.
How it works
Follow one guest through a stay. Tap a step.
A QR code in the room opens the app — already personalized and locked to that room. No download, no login, nothing to set up. Because the room comes from the pass itself, nothing can be charged to the wrong one.
"I pointed my camera at the card by the bed and it just… opened. In Spanish, with my name on it."
In-room dining with add-ons and upsells built in. Questions answered by a 24/7 bilingual concierge. Housekeeping, engineering, or valet requests sent straight to the right team — all from one screen.
"Filet, a Caesar with shrimp, two mimosas — added to the room without a single phone call."
Every order and request routes to the right team and shows a live tracker — Received, Preparing, On the way, Delivered. A push lands when it's at the door. No calling back to ask "where is it?"
"I could see it leave the kitchen. I stopped wondering and got back in the pool."
When it's handled, a manager can send one official message from the hotel — and the guest taps "Yes, all done" or reopens it. Every delivery ends on the record, timestamped, either way.
"A note from the front desk, then one tap to say it was perfect. Done."
What's inside
Three-tap ordering with add-ons and upsells built in. Delivery fee, gratuity, and tax are added automatically — no staff math.
Housekeeping, engineering, valet, concierge — routed to the right team, tracked to done, with guest self-cancel built in.
Guests and staff message in one thread — and when something's handled, a manager sends the hotel's one official word, right on the guest's live tracker. Now live
Dining, pool, parking, Wi-Fi, the airport — answered instantly, day or night, in English or Spanish, from verified hotel facts only.
Each guest gets a one-time Welcome Pass. The room is derived from the pass on the server — so a guest can never charge to the wrong room.
A rideshare-style tracker from kitchen to door — Received, Preparing, On the way, Delivered — plus a push when it arrives.
Every delivery closes with the guest's own "Yes, all done" — or a tap to reopen it. Timestamped, both ways. A trust beat most tools skip.
Guest data auto-expires five days after checkout. Nothing lingers in a database — the room, dept, and status stay; the person doesn't.
Orders, requests, response times, and what guests actually want — in real time, on one dashboard.
The charge posts to your PMS folio the way it always has. Your hotel stays the merchant of record — Sona is not a payment processor and never touches the money.
The revenue story
If service is the revenue engine, in-room dining is the first place it shows up on the folio. Every dish can carry an upsell — a protein on the salad, a bottle instead of a glass — priced and totaled automatically, with no staff math. And because ordering is three taps instead of a call on hold, more guests actually order.
You don't add headcount. The check does the work. See what that could look like at your property — with your own numbers.
Illustrative only — this uses assumptions you enter, not a measured Sona result. We publish no uplift figures. It's here to help you size the opportunity, not to promise it.
Your brand, not ours
The app wears your hotel's name, colors, and logo — a seamless part of your property, not a third-party bolt-on. We're the engine underneath. You're the brand on the screen.
Tap a look — the same screen, three brands. All example theming, not customers.
Why choose us
"I didn't design this in a software office. I designed it behind the front desk."
For fifteen years I ran the desk — at a Sheraton in Old San Juan, on the night shift at a beach club, at an oceanfront resort in Rio Grande, and today as a front-desk manager at Hyatt in Houston. I know the 11pm phone call no one can get to. The room-service order lost to a busy line. The upsell left on the table. The guest standing there, in Spanish or English, just wanting an answer.
Sona is that whole job, rebuilt into something a guest can hold. It's designed the way hotels actually run — by someone who ran them — in two languages, across luxury and high-volume properties. That's why it fits your operation instead of fighting it. When we say "we get it," we mean it literally: I've stood exactly where your team stands.
Sona vs. the old way

See it for yourself
Open the live demo on your phone, then book a 20-minute walkthrough — we'll show you your own hotel on it.
Every guest a VIP — including the one checking in tonight.
Want the operations side? Open the demo above and tap Open the staff view — both halves run as one live demo, so a request you send as a guest lands on the board while you watch. Or go straight to the staff board — demo sign-ins are listed right on its login screen.
