The killer feature

Lodges and operators on the same platform.

Booking.com sells the room. Airbnb sells the night. Hoyo runs everything that happens between booking and check-out — including the parts no incumbent has ever connected: the activity operator and the lodge, sharing one guest record in real time.

Marina books a boat for a guest staying at VBL. It appears on tomorrow's reception briefing. Automatically. In milliseconds. Across two separate tenants on the same platform. This is what one shared operating system does — and what no incumbent PMS, anywhere, has ever shipped.

Wedge

Built for Africa. Not localised for it.

Every foreign PMS treats Mozambique as a tickbox: change the currency, hope for the best. Hoyo treats it as the home market. The compliance, the language, the FX, the integrations — they're not features. They're the foundation.

01 · Compliance

The paperwork, done.

Every monthly filing a Moçambican lodge owes — generated, formatted, ready to submit. No spreadsheet. No translation. No deadline-eve panic.

  • Município receipts monthly
  • Migração SEF registry per arrival
  • IRPS payroll per cycle
  • IVA + Tourism Tax auto
  • Banco de Moçambique FX daily
02 · Bilingual

PT for guests. EN for ops.

The Brazilian family fills the check-in form in Portuguese. Angela's reception team works in English. Same record, two languages, zero translation hacks.

  • Guest check-in EN + PT
  • Admin shell EN
  • Confirmation emails guest locale
  • Passport OCR multi-locale
03 · Local integrations

Plugs into what you already use.

ZKTeco fingerprint clocks. WhatsApp Business. Salvador HR. Resend for email. The systems Mozambican operators actually run on — wired in, not reinvented.

  • ZKTeco attendance direct
  • WhatsApp Business WATI
  • Resend EU-region email
  • Channex channel mgr built
One platform, every property type

Same shell. Different business. Zero code forks.

The same admin shell adapts per tenant — wordmark, colour, terminology and modules switch on tenant type. One codebase. Three property models today. More coming.

VBL

Lodges & hotels

Reservations, daily prep, multi-currency invoicing, agency CRM, scheduled email automation, staff & payroll, digital check-in, full MZ compliance suite.

BIA

Activity operators

Schedule departures across boats, vehicles, guides; manage 26 lodge partners; share inventory in real time; mirror bookings into the lodge's daily prep.

F&B

Restaurants & in-house F&B

Cover counts that respect the lodge's daily prep. Menu & allergens piped to the guest portal. Per-guest charge-to-room. Same database, no double-entry.

Q3 2026 design phase
vs. the incumbents

Honest about where we win. Honest about where they do.

We're not better than Mews at enterprise reporting. We're not cheaper than FreeToBook for a single-room B&B in Cape Town. We're the only platform that solves Mozambique's compliance, runs both sides of the booking, and ships at this pace.

Where they win: Mews has a decade of enterprise integrations. Nightsbridge owns the South African channel-manager corridor. FreeToBook is unbeatable on price for a one-room B&B. We're not chasing those wins — we're claiming the territory none of them serve.

Under the hood

For the people who care about the wiring.

The boring decisions that make every future tenant cheap. Built lean, kept tight, designed to outlast the founder's keyboard.

Architecture
Multi-tenant from line one.

One Vercel project, one Supabase, one Next.js + tRPC codebase. Tenancy is a column, not a database. Postgres RLS enforces isolation; host-based routing picks the tenant from the subdomain.

Cross-tenant mirroring
Postgres triggers, not a queue.

BIA bookings for VBL guests mirror into VBL's daily prep via a DB-level trigger. No worker. No retry logic. No webhooks. The data is consistent the instant the row commits.

Adding tenant N
One DNS record. One row.

Insert into hubs. Point the wildcard CNAME. The tenant is live. Onboarding is configuration, not deployment. New verticals (F&B, retail) take days because the shell already handles them.

What we shipped
3 weeks. 14 of 16 Phase 2 features.

33 migrations · 34 tRPC routers · 49 admin pages · 138 commits from "broken FreeToBook clone" to two live tenants — without a single customer outage.

The team

Built by people who actually run hotels.

Jarryd Phillips

Founder · builder

Founder of Lumanaire — runs a five-node AI fleet building production software for hospitality, real estate and healthcare. Builds Hoyo on the same multi-tenant stack as the other Lumanaire products. Writes the code. Ships the deploys. Picks up the phone when reception calls at 06:30.

Angela Cordeiro

Co-founder · anchor customer

General Manager of Vilanculos Beach Lodge — the property Hoyo runs on, every day, in real bookings. Decides what features matter because she'd reject them if they didn't. The benchmark for "is this useful at 23:00 on a Friday in Mozambique?"

If it doesn't work at VBL, it doesn't ship.

Pricing

Priced for the African market. Not for Silicon Valley.

Monthly subscriptions in Meticais. No setup fees. No per-room nickel-and-diming. Cancel any time. Add modules as you grow.
