No more hunting for the right browser tab mid check-in. LodgeDesk sits in the taskbar, Dock or app launcher like any other program on the machine.
Reservations and POS sales carry on when the internet drops. Everything queues on the computer and syncs the moment the connection is back.
Invoices, receipts and reports go straight to the native print dialog — including thermal receipt printers attached to the front desk.
New bookings, WhatsApp messages and housekeeping updates surface as system notifications, even when the window is behind something else.
Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+7 jump to Front Desk, Reservations, Room Map, POS, Invoices, Housekeeping and Reports.
New versions download quietly in the background and install the next time the app restarts. Nobody has to reinstall anything.
Run the .exe and follow the installer. Windows may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen the first time — click More info, then Run anyway. That warning appears until the app has been downloaded enough times for Microsoft to recognise it.
Open the .dmg and drag LodgeDesk into Applications. On first launch, right-click the app and choose Open rather than double-clicking it — that gives you an Open button on the security prompt.
The AppImage runs as-is once you mark it executable (chmod +x). On Debian and Ubuntu the .deb installs with sudo apt install ./LodgeDesk-*.deb and adds LodgeDesk to your application menu.
Use the same email and password as the website. The desktop app is included in every plan — there is nothing extra to buy or activate.
You never have to. LodgeDesk works in any modern browser, on any device, with the same features — the desktop app is a convenience, not a requirement.
