For independent, family-run motels
Built and tested; preparing our first pilot.
INARA gets guest texts answered in your words, keeps every room’s status current, gives each new booking the right room, and sends cleaning and repair jobs to your staff. You only hear about what truly needs you — on your phone, wherever you are.

“Hi! Could I check out at 1 tomorrow instead of 11?”
INARA’s draft reply
We've noted your late checkout request! The front desk will confirm availability and get back to you shortly.
Why: guest asked to check out late. This says you’ll confirm — it promises nothing.
What INARA takes off your plate
Most owners are the front desk, the night manager and the maintenance coordinator, often at 2 AM, juggling tools that never talk to each other. INARA connects your rooms, guests and staff into one calm system.
WiFi, checkout, parking, the pool — from answers you write once. One tap to send, or switch an answer on to go by itself. Anything new comes to you.
Checks every night of the stay, so a room is never promised twice, and skips rooms that are dirty or out of service.
Updates as guests check in and out, from a tap at the desk or from your booking software. No more walking the hallway to find out.
Cleaning goes to housekeeping, repairs to maintenance, by plain text message. No app for them to learn.
Complaints, overdue jobs and guests still waiting. It reminds you if something is left unanswered.

What happened
“Is there an airport shuttle?”
What INARA did
Doesn’t guess. It asks you, with a holding reply ready. You type the answer once and save it, so next time it’s ready to send.
Your partOne tap

What happened
“The AC in 112 is making a loud noise.”
What INARA did
Alerts you, texts the repair job to your maintenance person, and has an apology ready for you to approve. Nothing goes to the guest until you tap. If nobody responds, it reminds you.
Your partOne tap

What happened
You open INARA with your coffee.

Shows every room at a glance: occupied, checking in, needs cleaning, out of service, ready. This morning it says: nothing needs you right now.

11:05 AM
What happened
Maya checks out of Room 204, with a tap at the desk or in your booking software.
What INARA did
Texts your housekeeper “Clean room 204”. She replies DONE 204, and the room shows Ready for the next guest.
Your partNothing
One calm place
Guests, rooms, staff and alerts share one brain, so what happens in one place updates the others.
Guests text the number on your front-desk sign. INARA has your answers to the everyday questions ready and drafts the rest. Nothing goes out until you approve it, unless it’s your own answer and you’ve switched it on.
Occupied, checking in, needs cleaning, out of service, ready. It updates as guests come and go, in plain words, with a colour and a label for every status.
When a guest checks out, housekeeping gets the room by text. Repairs go to maintenance. If nobody picks a job up, INARA passes it on and lets you know.
A complaint, an overdue job, a guest still waiting for a reply. INARA tells you once, clearly, and reminds you only if it’s still waiting.
7:00 AM
The first thing you see is whether anything needs you. On a good night, nothing does, and INARA says so plainly.
The owner app
This is the real app, showing example data: what an owner sees first, on a quiet morning.
You stay in charge
INARA never speaks for you without your OK. Every suggestion comes with a plain-English reason, and you can change anything it does.
“Room 107: quiet side, no recent issues.” You always see why.
If the answer isn’t in what you’ve told it, it asks you instead of inventing something.
A waiting reply reminds you at 10 and 20 minutes. Switch on “We got your message”, and a guest who has waited 15 minutes hears you have it.
Pause all texting to guests and staff at any moment, from your phone.

“Is it okay if my dog stays with me tonight?”
INARA’s reply
Yes, pets are welcome! Just let the front desk know when you arrive.
Why: Answered from what you wrote about pets during setup.
Built for family-run motels
Most families run more than one property, with parents, children and managers sharing the work. INARA is built that way from the start.
See at a glance which one needs you.
Owners, managers and front desk each get the right view of the right motels.
English today. ગુજરાતી and Español are coming later.
We’re preparing our first pilot, in Los Angeles. We set everything up with you, stay close through the first weeks, and show you exactly what happened at the end.
A few questions about your motel. Then we call you to talk it through.
Rooms, WiFi, your staff. All on your phone, with us beside you.
Free. Texting stays off until you’re ready. Keep INARA only if it earns its place.
Questions
No. Guests text the number on your front-desk sign, the way they text anyone. Replies come back by text.
No. INARA starts with texting and your room list. Smart locks and room sensors are coming later.
Anything AI writes waits for your approval. The only answers that go by themselves are your own words, and only the ones you’ve switched on. When nothing on file answers a question, it asks you instead of guessing.
Yes. Everything is on your phone, and INARA only interrupts you for things that need you: a complaint, a guest waiting, a job nobody picked up.
Yes. Owners, managers and front desk each get their own login and see the motels they’re meant to. Housekeepers and maintenance just get text messages, once they’ve replied YES, with no app or password.
Each motel’s information is kept completely separate. Guest messages are used only to look after that guest’s stay.
Not yet. It’s built and tested, and we’re preparing our first pilot. Real texts to guests and staff start with that pilot.
Early motels try INARA free during our pilot.
