Launching a new kind of hotel experience

How we helped Wayfarer create a new kind of hotel experience, local and digitally enabled.

Meet Kabin

Wayfarer is a property management company overseeing a growing portfolio of hotels in the Kansai region under the Kabin brand.

The venture was founded on the belief that technology can significantly enhance hotel operations, resulting in a more performant business and a superior guest experience.

What we did

Over a two-year collaboration, we helped Wayfarer design an ecosystem of digital products. Working closely with the startup, our efforts included designing Kabin's e-commerce website, a guest mobile app for hotel services and local tips, a tablet app for the front desk, and the company's internal operations software.

A unique booking experience

Kabin's e-commerce website is a crucial touchpoint in the startup's ecosystem. With the travel industry ruled by OTAs, Kabin aimed to increase their share of direct bookings. To achieve this, Kabin needed an online reservation site that would offer a simple, smooth booking process while delivering a unique brand experience.

Enhancing your stay

Kabin's mobile app serves as the cornerstone of their digital ecosystem. It provides guests with a centralized hub for accessing all services and information they need to optimize their stay.

The Kabin model is designed as a semi-self-service guest experience. Instead of relying heavily on hotel staff for check-in, check-out, room service, and reservation changes, guests can handle most tasks on their own through the Kabin app. This approach frees up time for staff to act more as concierges, local insight providers, and community managers, resulting in a smoother, warmer, and more authentic stay.
