Setting up digital guest information for your vacation rental is easier than you think. With Chalet Butler, you can have your property information ready for guests in just a few minutes. Here's how to get started.

Step 1: Free Registration

Getting started with Chalet Butler is completely free. Simply create an account and you can manage your first property at no cost. No credit card required, no hidden fees.

Step 2: Add Your Property Information

Once you're logged in, add your property details:

• Property name and address
• WiFi network name and password
• Check-out instructions
• Trash and recycling information
• Local recommendations for restaurants, activities, and attractions
• Appliance instructions and emergency contacts

You can update any of this information at any time, and changes appear instantly for your guests.

Step 3: Download and Print Your QR Code

Every property automatically gets a unique QR code. Simply download it from your dashboard and print it out. When guests scan the code with their smartphone camera, they instantly access all your property information in their preferred language.

Step 4: Display Your QR Code

Now comes the fun part - deciding how to display your QR code in your property. Here are some creative options that work well:

QR Code Stand (QR-Code-Ständer)

A dedicated QR code stand is an elegant solution. You can find these at local office supply stores or online. Look for 'QR-Code-Ständer' or 'Visitenkarten-Ständer' (business card holders). Place it on a table near the entrance or in the kitchen where guests naturally gather.

Picture Frame (Bilderrahmen)

A simple picture frame is a classic choice. Print your QR code with some welcoming text like 'Welcome! Scan for guest information' and place it in an attractive frame. This works especially well on hallway walls or entryway tables.

Wall Mount

For a permanent solution, you can frame and hang your QR code on the wall near the entrance. Add your property's branding or a welcome message to make it feel more personal.

Kitchen Counter Display

Many hosts place their QR code in the kitchen using a cookbook stand or small easel. Since guests often look for information while cooking or having coffee, this is a natural spot.

Welcome Folder

If you still provide a physical welcome folder with keys or other items, include the QR code on the first page. This gives guests both traditional and digital options.

Pro Tips for Success

To make the most of your digital guest information:

• Place the QR code where guests can't miss it - near the entrance or on the kitchen counter
• Add a short text explanation: 'Scan for WiFi password, local tips, and property information'
• Make sure the lighting is good so phone cameras can easily scan the code
• Keep your information up-to-date - digital means you can update anytime!

The best part? Once your QR code is displayed, it works 24/7. Guests can access information in their language at any time, and you never have to worry about outdated printed materials again.
