Typing invoices
Photo or PDF and the AI extracts supplier, line items, amounts and VAT. You review, confirm and get on with your day. Paperwork, solved.
The app
Your business in your pocket, with real AI
Sales, expenses, invoices, staff and Ella — your assistant answering with your real data. Free today, no card, no lock-in.
Hostelella is the operations app for bars, restaurants and hotels: a real-time sales and expenses dashboard, invoices that read themselves with OCR + AI, shifts, team chat and an assistant — Ella — who answers questions like “how's the week going?” with your actual numbers.
It's built by hospitality people, not office people: used standing up, one-handed, between services. Multi-business from day one, available on iPhone, Android and the web, and with one non-negotiable rule: the AI proposes, you confirm. Nothing enters your books without your sign-off.
Today it's free for every business, no card. Create your account, invite your team and it's running in 24 hours. And if you also want to delegate management, our operations team supports you with the full management service.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about the app
Is it really free? What's the catch?
Today it's free for every business, no card and no lock-in. We're in a growth phase and want you to try it; management service clients always have it included.
Which devices does it work on?
iPhone (App Store), Android (Google Play) and web browser. Your team can use it on their phones and you from wherever you prefer; the data is the same everywhere.
What happens to my data if I stop using it?
It's yours: export or delete it whenever you want. We comply with GDPR and data is stored encrypted in the European Union.
Does the AI make mistakes reading invoices?
Its average invoice-reading accuracy is very high (98% on our data), but it doesn't matter: nothing is recorded until you confirm it. If something's off, you fix it before approving.
