Our Story

Bridging the Gap in
Property Operations.

StayNaija was built to solve the hospitality industry's most challenging overhead: unmanaged room-level energy draws and utility waste.

Why We Are Building StayNaija

In Nigerian hospitality, utility overhead is the single largest operational cost. Every day, hotels run diesel generators and drain expensive inverter battery banks because cooling systems and high-draw appliances run continuously in vacant, idle rooms.

Traditional Property Management Systems (PMS) only record check-ins on paper. They are completely blind to the physical room state. We realized that solving this required more than just bookkeeping software—it demanded a real-time hotel automation system that links physical room energy states directly with occupancy data.

Our Core Vision

Our vision is to bring modern hotel energy management and operational efficiency to properties across West Africa. By automating room utility scheduling, we help properties scale back utility costs by up to 40%, extend solar battery lifespans, and drive maximum profitability.
