Time slots

Saunas & bathhouses

Private saunas by time slot, open floors billed from entry to exit. Cleaning buffers and auto-checkout keep turnovers running without staff.

The Challenge

  • Private saunas are booked back to back, and the room is still wet when the next guest arrives
  • Open-floor guests pay a flat fee whether they stay 40 minutes or 4 hours
  • Late-night and early-morning demand is real, but nobody wants to staff the desk for it
  • Towels, drinks and a locker are sold at the desk, so the desk has to be staffed

How UnlockOS Helps

  • Private saunas are sold in time slots with a cleaning buffer between them, so the schedule protects the turnover
  • Open floors bill from entry to exit, with a daily cap, so a short visit is cheap and a long one still has a ceiling
  • Keys reach the guest's phone at any hour; open sessions settle themselves at closing time
  • Towels, drinks and lockers are options picked at check-in and settled with the stay

How It Works

Get started in 3 steps

01

Decide slot or usage

Private rooms: 90-minute slots with a 30-minute cleaning buffer. Open floor: per-minute billing with a daily cap. Both can live in the same facility.

02

Add the options

Towel set, drinks, locker, a night surcharge after 22:00. Guests pick them at check-in; nothing is sold at a desk.

03

Open the unstaffed hours

Guests book or walk in on their phone, get a key, and the room or floor opens for them. Cleaning staff get a temporary key for the buffer.

By operating style

Reservation, walk-in or membership — your call

How you take guests is the owner's decision, not the industry's. Mix all three and they still share the same plans and inventory.

By reservation

Private saunas are sold by time slot. The key opens only that room for that window, and the cleaning buffer is blocked automatically.

Walk-in

Open floors take walk-ins: scan at the door, bill from entry to exit, settle on the way out.

Membership

A monthly pass can cover the open floor outright and give members a discount on private slots.

Features

Built for your workflow

Time slots with a cleaning buffer

A private sauna is sold in slots, and the buffer after each one is blocked automatically. No back-to-back wet rooms.

Entry-to-exit billing

Per-minute pricing with weekday and weekend rates and a daily cap. Pay at the exit for the time actually used.

Plan groups at the door

Let the guest choose at check-in: sauna only, or sauna plus the lounge, at different rates.

Night surcharge

A time-of-day surcharge after 22:00, per plan.

Cleaning keys

Temporary keys for cleaning staff, valid only in the buffer window.

Auto-checkout at closing

Every open session ends and settles at closing time, even if nobody tapped out.

Integrations

Works with your existing tools

Smart locks

KEYVOX is built in; locks with a public cloud API are connected through an adapter.

Stripe payments

Slots, usage time and options, settled automatically.

LINE

Book, check in and get the key from LINE.

Smart lockers

A locker is issued with the stay and released at checkout.

Pair it with KEYVOX

KEYVOX opens the door. UnlockOS runs the business.

KEYVOX smart locks, gates and lockers are built into UnlockOS. The moment a booking or payment completes, a key only that person can use (PIN, QR or LINE) is delivered, and it expires on its own. Hardware choice, installation and wiring are covered on the KEYVOX side.

KEYVOX locks also cover the lighting and heater automation that often sits behind the same door.

Adding sites

Run the next site exactly like the first

Built so you can add sites without hiring an IT team.

Open the second site by copying the first

Plans, pricing, opening hours and key rules from the first site are copied to the next one. Nothing is rebuilt from scratch.

Separate permissions for HQ and each site

HQ sees every site; a franchisee or manager sees only their own. When someone leaves, you remove their role — nothing physical to collect.

Revenue and check-ins per site

Compare revenue, check-ins and members per site from HQ. It feeds franchisee support and the next opening decision.
