Host App
Beach lots and campgrounds have terrible signal. The Host App keeps working when the internet drops — here's exactly what it does offline, and the few things that still need a connection.
Mark a handoff or a return with no signal at all. The action is saved on the device with a unique key and replays to the server the moment connectivity returns.
Stage a cart, mark it ready, or update a dispatch status offline. Queued changes sync in order, so the board is right when you're back online.
Record a cash payment or charge a guest's saved card offline. Each payment carries a one-time key, so a retry can never double-charge or double-count — and the server never counts more than the booking's remaining balance.
A receipt you've viewed online is cached on the device, so you can reprint it at the lot even with no signal.
Everything you do offline lands in a private queue on your device — never shared with other businesses — and a badge shows how many actions are waiting. When the connection returns, the queue syncs itself; you don't have to do anything.
Collecting from a card the guest hasn't saved — or sending a fresh payment link — talks to the card network in real time, so it needs a connection. Cash and saved cards still work offline.
Live vehicle positions stream over the network. Offline you see the last known position, not a moving dot.
Condition photos from check-in and check-out upload when you're online. The check-in itself still records offline.
Install the app and open it once while connected (about an 18 MB download). After that, your screens and recent bookings are cached on the device.
Install the Host App, turn on airplane mode, and run a check-in. It'll be waiting to sync when you turn the signal back on. Offline mode is one part of our golf cart rental software.
