Stays — Direct Booking Site
Stays is a complete direct-booking site for short-term rentals — the kind of thing owners normally rent from a platform that takes a cut of every booking. It has listings with photo galleries, a live availability calendar, request-to-book with host confirmation, and add-on rental items. It runs as its own application at stays.panthertechnologysolutions.com; the properties in it are samples for demonstration.

This is a working demonstration environment with sample properties, not a live rental business. It runs as its own application on its own subdomain and keeps its own data, separate from this site.
Live availability calendar
Each listing shows a month-by-month calendar with booked dates blocked out, so guests only pick nights that are actually free.
Request to book
Guests submit their dates and contact details; the host confirms by email. No payment is taken at request time.
Add-on rental items
Chairs, tables, and bins can be booked alongside a stay — the same availability logic applied to equipment.
Transparent pricing
Nightly rate and totals are shown up front. Booking direct with the host means no platform commission on top.
Built with an AI pair
Designed and written alongside Claude — listings, calendar, booking requests, and admin, rather than a template with the text swapped out.
A real application
Not a mockup: a database, server-rendered pages, and a booking flow, deployed and running on its own infrastructure.
The point of it
Small operators pay a commission on every booking. This shows what owning the booking flow outright looks like instead.
