KeyCafe is Game Changer

Keycafe has come in clutch versus our old way of using IglooHome lockboxes. It hasn't suffered downtown (we expected some downtime) and has been relatively easy for our rental vehicles users to pick up on.

Great key management solution

We needed an effective key management solution that could cater to our diverse needs and Keycafe have been amazing from day one. I haven't stumbled on any other solution that offers anything near as good as their modular system combined with their app. Very happy! And great to be able to support another Canadian business.

Excellent Customer Service, As Always

My customer service rep in the chat was incredibly helpful. I have always had a great experience every time I need help; they are patient, kind, and thorough in their explanations. We've had some learning curves and bumps along the way, but the customer service at Keycafe is what sets them apart. Their customer service is excellent and I know I am in good hands regardless of the situation!

We are using KeyCafe with our real estate agent to help with sale of our home. The system is very handy to have and is based on a great idea actually. As it’s my first time using it I may have done something wrong when I checked my key in last night. My agent could not access my key this morning - and I am out of town. Said, from KeyCafe, was very helpful in troubleshooting and resolving our issue. It may not be the easiest thing to find the contact info for support but they were immediately helpful and after I tried calling they actually called me to see what help I needed. I would highly recommend using this novel system / app!

Quick startup and great customer support

Keycafe allows us to provide every user with a unique access code and designated bays for each key set along with report tracking and notification of unreturned keys. It fit all of the needs we wanted in a key tracking system.
Keycafe intuitive interface makes it easy to use for a broad audience especially in our case for a hotel associate team. Our property was online and using the system, less than a day after the equipment arrived on property. Customer service and technical support has been on point and attentive. Not only with response to technical issues, but multiple follow-up to ensure product success. The setup cost and ongoing expense are very competitive when compared to other available options and a main reason Keycafe drew our attention when considering a key management system.
We initially had issues with network connectivity, but our IT team worked with Keycafe to resolve issue in a couple of hours. Given the size of some our key rings in a hotel environment, the bay size on the key café can be challenging to fit certain department keys. We have had to be creative with key sets for our maintenance team.

Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful review. We're glad to hear Keycafe has met the needs of your hotel team, especially in terms of providing unique access codes, reliable tracking and reporting.

It’s great to know your property was able to go live the same day the equipment arrived. That kind of fast deployment is one of the reasons many hospitality teams choose Keycafe.

Thank you again for highlighting the responsiveness of our support team and the cost-effectiveness of our system. Your success helps others understand the value of a key management solution that’s built for daily hotel operations.

If there's anything more we can do, feel free to reach out any time.

We use KeyCafe as a digital key management system and are thoroughly satisfied with the solution. We especially appreciate the wide range of automation options and the ability to seamlessly track check-ins and check-outs. Being able to remotely open lockers automatically has made our management much easier and saves us valuable time. The system is intuitive to use, highly reliable, and the support is excellent. We can wholeheartedly recommend KeyCafe—it’s a real asset for modern key management.

Fantastic solution for key management!

Keycafe has made short term Airbnb ownership a breeze. With centrally located box, guests are able to check out keys with an automated code provided with each booking, which eliminates the need for smart locks, or in person key hand offs. In addition, Keycafe’s customers service is absolutely fantastic. Every interaction I have had has been polite, my concerns have been addressed, and follow ups are consistently handled. Thank you!

Thank you for the great review. We're happy to hear Keycafe has helped simplify your Airbnb operations.

Many short-term rental hosts choose Keycafe for exactly the reasons you mentioned: centralized access, automated key codes tied to each booking, and the ability to skip in-person handoffs or the need to install smart locks. It's a flexible solution that works with your existing doors and keys, while still offering the convenience of automation.

We’re especially proud to hear our support team has been consistent and helpful. We know that responsive service matters, and we’re committed to making sure everything runs smoothly for your guests and for you.

Thanks again for using Keycafe and for recommending us to other hosts.

Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the Keycafe system.

Remote key access with a single click is one of our most used features—it allows hosts and staff to grant secure access from anywhere, without needing to be on-site. It's especially useful for hospitality teams and short-term rentals where timing and flexibility are critical.

By combining web-based control, automated codes, and real-time activity logs, Keycafe helps properties like yours manage keys efficiently and give guests a smooth check-in experience.

Thanks again for the kind words and for using Keycafe!

Great experience

Great experience - from the first contact to operating 30+ apartments with Keycafe in a short time

Big thanks to the whole Keycafe team, especially Dimitri! As I said, we had a very nice first contact, directly started the onboarding, installed 3 devices at 3 different locations and we are still excited about the possibility in our daily business of short term rentals. The shipping was fast, very nice and easy to understand system, 5-star customer service and many benefits... will definitely get more keycafes for our apartmens.

10/10 Recommend - Game Changer

Keycafe has transformed our internal key management system. What was once a manual and unreliable process is now streamlined, transparent, and incredibly easy to use. With nearly 150 keys in our facility, the system’s intuitive interface and built-in accountability features have eliminated guesswork and significantly reduced lost or misplaced keys. We now have full visibility into who has each key and when it was checked out, saving time and improving overall peace of mind. While the initial setup required some coordination to input key data and configure permissions, the transition was well worth it—support has been responsive, and the system has run smoothly ever since. We’re very happy with the investment.
