We are looking for partners who can support lodging facilities with lodging tax collection.
Users who register through an agency partner receive two-week free trial.
As a QuickGuestbook partner, you will introduce the service to lodging facilities and support implementation.
From referring accommodation businesses to reselling as your own service —
we offer two programs tailored to the needs of our partners.
Refer the app and earn ongoing recurring revenue.
Resell under your own brand at your own price.
"Company A resells to its client Company B" — let's trace the money flow.
Pays the base fee + 1 Location + 1 Unit to the app.
Since Company A already pays the base fee, only the Location and Unit costs need to be added.
Don't pass the wholesale price through as-is.
Factor in the value of integration, setup, and ongoing support and present Company B with a clear, service-inclusive price.
Which program should I choose?
If your main activity is referring customers, the Referral Program is the right fit. If you want to handle integration, setup, and support yourself and sell at your own price, the Reseller Program is recommended. The two programs cannot be combined.
As a reseller, will Company B (the end customer) know that QuickGuestbook exists?
With the white-label option, you can deliver the service entirely under your own brand name (white-label functionality is currently in development). In addition, by using the portfolio "invite" feature, Company B can log in without going through the subscription sign-up screen. All configuration, integration, and updates must be carried out by the reseller on behalf of the customer's property.
In general, Company A pays for the additional rental units used by Company B — but whether you charge ¥300 per unit (vs. ¥250 wholesale), or bundle everything including integration into a flat ¥10,000/month rate, is entirely up to Company A.
What if a reseller's customer (Company B) wants to further resell to their own customers (Company C)?
Company C is also managed as a customer of the reseller (Company A). The revenue-sharing arrangement and contract terms between Company B and Company C are entirely up to Company A to design. From the app's perspective, everything is handled as a single contract with Company A. The app will charge Company A for the additional rental units used by both Company B and Company C.
How does billing work?
Under the Referral Program, the customer pays QuickGuestbook directly, and 15% of that amount is returned to you each month.
Under the Reseller Program, you pay QuickGuestbook the wholesale price, and you are responsible for invoicing and collecting payment from Company B (your end customer).
Are there minimum volume requirements or long-term contract commitments?
There are no minimum volume requirements or long-term lock-in periods for either the Referral or Reseller programs. Feel free to try it at your own pace.
How should support and inquiries be handled?
Under the Referral Program, technical support is handled directly by QuickGuestbook.
Under the Reseller Program, you handle first-line support, and we provide backup assistance for issues that are difficult to resolve on your own.
If the owner of Company A sends an invite to their employees, will additional charges of ¥250 or ¥3,980 apply?
This app does not charge on a per-user basis. Billing is based solely on the number of rental units connected to Beds24 — ¥250 per unit charged to Company A. Options purchased by Company A, such as the Miyagi Prefecture collection ledger (monthly summary), are also available to Company A's customers including Company B. The rental unit costs for Company B are also paid by Company A.
In other words, housekeeping leads, consultants, virtual assistants, guides, and other staff can be invited and log in for free. This is called a staff user invitation.
Tell us about your business and which program interests you — we'll help you find the best fit.
Commissions are calculated per contract, based on the base fee of ¥3,980/month and the number of Units (rooms) only — Location fees are excluded from commission calculations.
This is because Location fees include the cost of automatically generating tax-related documents available in each region.
Commissions apply for a maximum of 6 months from the start of the subscription billing period.
| Scenario | Monthly Fee (tax incl.) | Pre-tax Reference | Agency Commission (15%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 contract · 1 Unit | ¥4,278 / month | approx. ¥3,889 | approx. ¥583 / month |
| 1 contract · 7 Units | ¥6,066 / month | approx. ¥5,514 | approx. ¥827 / month |
| 1 contract · 30 Units | ¥12,920 / month | approx. ¥11,745 | approx. ¥1,761 / month |
| 1 contract · 100 Units | ¥33,780 / month | approx. ¥30,709 | approx. ¥4,606 / month |
| Scenario | 6-Month Equivalent (tax incl.) | Pre-tax Reference | Agency Commission (15%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 contract · 1 Unit | ¥23,280 / 6-month equiv. (Annual base lump sum ¥42,984 + Unit ¥3,576/yr) | approx. ¥21,163 | approx. ¥3,174 / payment |
| 1 contract · 7 Units | ¥34,008 / 6-month equiv. (Annual base lump sum ¥42,984 + Unit ¥25,032/yr) | approx. ¥30,916 | approx. ¥4,637 / payment |
| 1 contract · 30 Units | ¥75,132 / 6-month equiv. (Annual base lump sum ¥42,984 + Unit ¥107,280/yr) | approx. ¥68,301 | approx. ¥10,245 / payment |
| 1 contract · 100 Units | ¥200,292 / 6-month equiv. (Annual base lump sum ¥42,984 + Unit ¥357,600/yr) | approx. ¥182,083 | approx. ¥27,312 / payment |
※ The base fee is ¥3,980/month and does not include Units.
※ Units are charged separately at ¥298/month per Unit.
※ Unit fees are billed monthly only and are not eligible for the annual discount. Even under an annual billing contract, Unit fees are charged separately each month.
※ Property count is not used in fee calculations; it is shown in the table as an operational reference only.
※ For example, a contract with "3 properties · 7 Units" is calculated based on 7 Units total — not the number of properties — resulting in ¥3,980 + 7 × ¥298 = ¥6,066/month.
※ The "6-month equivalent" for annual billing represents the sum of the lump-sum annual base fee (12 months at 10% discount) plus Unit fees (billed separately each month).
※ Agency commissions are calculated at approximately 15% of the pre-tax amount; figures are rounded and shown as approximate values.
※ The white-label option (¥7,700/month) is a separate add-on and is not included in the above calculations or eligible for commission.
※ The white-label option applies at the group level — covering an entire operating group — not on a per-property basis.
※ The above figures do not include Stripe payment processing fees. Commissions will be calculated after deducting 3.6% (plus an additional 1% for international credit cards) from the base price.
Commissions are based on a base fee of ¥3,980/month + ¥298/month per Unit (billed monthly; annual discount does not apply to Unit fees),
meaning the more total Units across your contracts, the higher your earnings per contract.
In particular, signing clients who operate multiple properties under a single contract tends to mean more Units deployed — making it easier to build up recurring revenue even with a smaller number of contracts.
The table below uses "10 properties / 30 Units per contract" as a baseline scenario to give you a practical sense of what to expect from your sales activity.
Note: the number of properties is for reference only and does not affect commission calculations. Commissions are calculated based on number of contracts and total Unit count.
| Contracts Acquired | Contract Details | Est. Monthly Commission (Monthly Billing) | Est. Commission for Annual Billing (6-month cap) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 contracts | 10 properties / 30 Units each | approx. ¥5,285 | approx. ¥28,541 |
| 5 contracts | 10 properties / 30 Units each | approx. ¥8,809 | approx. ¥47,569 |
| 10 contracts | 10 properties / 30 Units each | approx. ¥17,618 | approx. ¥95,138 |
| 20 contracts | 10 properties / 30 Units each | approx. ¥36,236 | approx. ¥190,276 |
※ The figures above are estimates based on "10 properties / 30 Units per contract." The base calculation per contract is: ¥3,980 + 30 × ¥298 = ¥12,920/month (tax included).
※ Unit fees are billed monthly only and are not eligible for the annual discount. Commissions on annual-billing contracts include both the lump-sum annual base fee (10% discount applied) and 12 months of Unit fees (no discount).
※ For monthly billing contracts, commissions are assumed to accrue each month for the duration of the contract (up to a 6-month cap).
※ For annual billing contracts, the commission cap is 6 months.
※ Agency commissions are calculated at approximately 15% of the pre-tax price; figures are rounded and shown as approximate values.
※ Additional options such as white-label are not eligible for commission.
※ Property counts are provided as an operational reference only and are not included in commission calculations.
※ The above figures do not include Stripe payment processing fees. Commissions will be calculated after deducting 3.6% (plus an additional 1% for international credit cards) from the base price.

QuickGuestbook was created to simplify the complex tax operations and on-site revenue management that lodging facilities face. Not only in Japan, but lodging owners all over the world struggle with tax management and cash handling. Paying as much as 15% commission to an OTA just to collect lodging tax is absurd, and most OTAs adopt a reverse-charge method when it comes to consumption tax. Will OTAs process payments for parking fees or early check-in charges for you? Will they prepare even part of the documentation needed for tax processing? In 2026, lodging tax will be newly introduced in 30 municipalities across Japan, with estimated annual tax revenue reaching 45 billion yen, and expected to rise to 70 billion yen in 2027. Comparable figures are said to be 8.2 trillion yen in the United States, 154 billion yen in Canada, 126 billion yen in Australia, 81.5 billion yen in France, 80 billion yen in Germany and Switzerland, and 17 billion yen in Taiwan. Small lodging businesses, including bed and breakfasts, continue to grow worldwide year after year, and all of them can become our customers — and yours. We sincerely welcome partners who can help spread this service in their own countries and regions. Let us support the global lodging industry together.
