# StayForge — Short-Term Rental Co-Host Operating System & PMS-Lite

> Unify your PMS, operations, smart locks, turnover cleaners, and QuickBooks owner statements into one dashboard with zero data migration. Built for 4–8 door independent STR co-hosts.

## Overview
StayForge (https://getstayforge.com) is a zero-migration operational overlay and standalone PMS-Lite built for independent short-term rental (STR) co-hosts and boutique property managers. Co-hosts can either overlay StayForge on top of their existing PMS (Hospitable, Hostaway, Guesty, Streamline, OwnerRez) in under 3 minutes with zero calendar downtime, or use StayForge as an all-in-one PMS-Lite.

## Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) & Scope Honesty
- **Built For:** Independent STR co-hosts and boutique operators managing **1 to 30+ doors** (core sweet spot: **4–8 doors**) who want to replace 6 browser tabs and manual weekend QuickBooks spreadsheets with automated turnovers, Seam smart locks, Vision AI cleaning audits, PriceLabs 2-way sync, and 1-click itemized monthly owner statements.
- **Not Built For (Scope Honesty):** StayForge is explicitly **not** built for **100+ unit enterprise property management companies (PMCs)**, multi-front-desk hotels, or resorts requiring legacy on-premise servers, full escrow trust-accounting departments, or custom ERP builds.
