Founding beta open
Bookings, the run board, client and pet records, waivers and report cards live on the machine at your front desk and sync to the cloud when it’s there. When the internet drops, check-ins keep moving. You connect your own Stripe, Square or PayPal, so nobody takes a cut of your payments.
30 days free, no card. The demo is a full sample facility: no account, nothing to install.

What's different
Not features — the shape of the thing. Each one is a decision that was made before the first line of code, and each one is checkable.
Every record lives on the computer at your front desk and opens the moment you click it. The cloud keeps your other devices in step and holds a backup — it is not in the path between you and your own data.
Internet down? Check-ins, bookings and the run board keep working. Sync catches up when it’s back.
You connect the Stripe, Square or PayPal account you already have. You pay that processor’s published rate — and nothing to us on top. The subscription is the whole price.
Some cloud platforms take a percentage of every card payment.
| Who you pay | ResortKeeper | Typical cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Card processor (Stripe, Square, PayPal) | their published rate | their published rate |
| Platform's cut of your card volume | 0% | often 0.5–2% |
| Software | $49–199 / mo flat | subscription + seat fees |
ResortKeeper is built by one person, on purpose. No board waiting on a return, no growth team inventing new fees. That’s why the price is flat and why a bug report gets an answer from the person who wrote the code.
If terms ever change, existing shops keep the deal they signed up under.
“I’ve hand-coded websites for kennel clubs and pet businesses since 2000. ResortKeeper is what I’d want running the front desk if it were my building.”
The product
Every frame below is the real application running a sample facility — not a mockup, not a rendering. Both themes are the same build, so the screen you use at 6am in a dark kennel block is the screen you use at noon.
Arrivals, departures and in-house across the top, kennel occupancy split by dog and cat, revenue by service, and a morning briefing written from your own numbers — the things you'd otherwise walk the building to count.
Real screens · sample facility data · no real client, pet or signature
Installer or a single portable .exe. Its own window, its own process, no browser tab to close by accident.
Install to the Home Screen from Safari and it runs like an app — with its own protected storage.
Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox on a Mac, Chromebook or Android. Same app, same records. A Mac desktop build is not available yet — Mac users run it in Safari or Chrome.
Switching from a cloud platform?
Patterns, not names — every vendor is different and prices move. If yours doesn't do one of these, good.
| Question | ResortKeeper | Typical cloud platform |
|---|---|---|
| Where your records live | On your own computer, with a cloud copy for backup and sync. | On the vendor's servers. You get a browser tab. |
| When the internet drops | The front desk keeps working. Sync resumes when it's back. | The front desk stops until it's back. |
| Card payments | Your own Stripe, Square or PayPal. We take 0% of the volume. | Often a built-in processor with a platform percentage on top. |
| What the price is | $49, $99 or $199 a month. Flat. No seat fees. | Tiers plus per-user seats, and annual increases. |
| Leaving | Export everything, any time, from the app. Your records were always yours. | An export request, a queue, sometimes a fee. |
| Who answers | The developer. Same person who fixes it. | A support tier, sometimes behind a higher plan. |

Who answers
Bringing records over: every plan includes a self-serve importer for spreadsheets and common exports. If you’d rather a person did it, hands-on migration and staff training are what the Enterprise plan is for — ask about it here.
Pricing
Pick the size of your operation. Every plan runs the same local-first engine, includes every module, and takes nothing from your card volume.
Every plan: the local engine with cloud sync, bring-your-own payment gateway, the self-serve importer, and zero platform transaction fees.

Who builds this
One developer — Brian Brixon in Colorado Springs — who has hand-coded websites for kennel clubs and pet businesses since 2000. No investors, no sales team. That’s a deliberate choice, and it’s why support comes from the person who wrote the code.
No acquisition exit, no growth team hunting for new fees to invent — which means no one to answer to except the shops that use it. The overhead stays low so the price stays flat.
“What if you get hit by a bus?” Fair question for a one-person company. Your records are on your own machine and exportable at any time, so the software going away could never take your data with it.
Support email is answered by the person who wrote the code.
About ResortKeeper →Founding beta
I'm taking a small founding group of working facilities before general release. You run ResortKeeper as your real daily software, I fix what you find, and your rate reflects the help — confirmed in writing before you commit to anything.
