The Guest View and the Door Check-in
Guest view shows your page as guests see it, and the check-in and live waitlist guests open on their phones.
See what guests see
- Open Guest view from the left rail.
- Your page on HostyFlow.com shows first, with a link to open it.
- Under At the door, see the check-in and the live waitlist on a guest's phone.
Owners and managers change the page on the page itself, from Edit your page in the menu at the bottom left.
Bookings, check-ins and the waitlist from these screens reach the host screen right away.
