About Hostack

Built by an operator, for operators.

Hostack is the operations OS for independent hostels and colivings — the system that runs the day so the manager doesn't have to be the one holding it all together. It started as the tool its founder needed while running a property, and is now being co-built with a handful of operators before it opens to the world.

Why we exist

Independent hospitality runs on memory, goodwill, and group chats. That works until it doesn't — until the manager becomes the bottleneck and every gap lands in one person's phone. Hostack turns that into a system: documented SOPs, a staff app that runs the shift, and guest requests that become tasks instead of messages.

Built by an operator, for operators

5 years managing hostels and colivings across Europe. Currently at Torridonia in the Scottish Highlands. Hostack was built because it was the tool I needed — and no one had built it yet. The Co-Build Program exists because the only way to build the right product is to build it from the inside.
