For hostels
One QR code at reception. No channel manager, no new software, no change to how you run check-in.
Most backpackers do not plan a whole trip before they leave. They decide the next city while they are standing in the one before it, usually on the advice of whoever is behind the desk. NEXT STOP turns that conversation into something both hostels benefit from: you display one QR code, the guest scans it with their own phone, and the digital NEXT PASS that appears carries your hostel's identifier onward.
Nothing is added to your working day except pointing at that code. There is no inventory to sync, no rates to mirror across channels, nothing to print for each guest and no dashboard anyone has to keep open during a busy shift. NEXT STOP handles the reservation using the information you already list on other major booking platforms, and your only job is to send guests onward through the network.
NEXT STOP creates an extra revenue stream for your hostel, without really doing anything. Guests scan your unique QR code to book their next hostel within the network, and you earn a commission. Their next stop becomes your next earning opportunity.
Every guest who scans your QR code carries your hostel's identifier onward — and every partner is doing the same back towards you.
Your hostel appears on destination pages, routes and guides that travellers read while planning the leg before yours.
You display a single code at reception. The guest's own phone does the rest — nothing to print, no codes to type, no new system to learn.
6 steps from check-in to attribution.
The guest
A guest arrives and checks in exactly as they do today. Nothing about your existing process changes.
Your desk
One extra sentence at check-in introduces your guests to our backpacker community.
The guest
The QR opens a NEXT STOP page on their own phone. Nothing for your staff to operate.
NEXT STOP
A unique code is created and shown on the guest's phone, carrying the identifier from your QR code.
The guest
The code unlocks the reduced rate at their NEXT STOP. The booking confirmation will go straight to our fellow partner.
NEXT STOP
Because the pass records where it was generated, the onward booking is credited to your hostel automatically.
One QR.A few seconds.Another happy backpacker.
Three things happen at the desk, and only the first one is yours. The rest is the guest's phone and our side of the network — so the flow does not get slower when reception is busy.
Point at the code
One extra phrase during a check-in you are already doing.

The pass is on their phone. Nothing comes back to the desk.
Nothing comes back
A code on your desk, a pass on their phone.
The NEXT PASS is a digital pass on the guest's phone. Every guest scans the same QR code at reception. This opens a NEXT STOP page in their browser and creates a pass linked to your hostel.

Illustration. QR codes shown on this site are decorative — real partner codes are generated per hostel.
The guest scans with their own camera and the pass is generated there. Your desk is not involved after the sentence.
One code on the desk serves everyone who walks in, for as long as you are a partner.
Your staff never log in and never create a code by hand. The pass is generated by NEXT STOP.
What the first hostels in the network get, and give, before it scales.
A founding partner is not a discounted tier — it is a hostel that joins while the product is still being decided. That means more influence over how the QR flow, the pass and the listing pages work, and a direct relationship with the people building them, in exchange for the patience an early network asks for.
Founding partners help decide how the QR flow, the pass and the listing pages actually work before the network scales.
Your listing is marked as one of the hostels that started the network, on your page and in search results.
The first routes we publish are built around the cities where founding partners operate.
A named contact rather than a support queue, for as long as the founding phase runs.
