Great product, better team

The product itself is wonderful, but the assistance from the team is even more outstanding. We had to change the account of our Keycafe and Dimitri helped us though all this process via call. When we had our old boxes replaced with new ones, he guided us too and made sure everything was working properly. Before all these changes, we didn't really have any major issues with the boxes either.

This is the worst company ever

This is the worst company ever! This system is not easy to work and I’ve lost numerous showings because of other agents not being able to access the key. Plus, at $10 every time someone takes the key this can end up being very costly. Never in 25 years has anybody had to pay to access keys to show listings. The building management has been advised of these issues and hopefully they will allow the old reliable lockbox system.

We’d also be happy to schedule a one-on-one session with one of our Success Team managers to walk you through how to properly use the system to ensure your relators can use the system seamlessly. 

Your location is scheduled for a system upgrade in the next two weeks, which should improve overall ease of use and reliability.

We're here to help resolve this for you and appreciate the opportunity to do so.

Fast customer service thats friendly

We have had this product for about a year now and have only ever had 1 issue with it that was resolved quickly. The issue was caused by one of my key users, so no fault of their own. This has made my life so much easier!

Reliable, Convenient, and Perfect for Key Managementfe for a while…

I've been using Keycafe for a while now, and it's truly a game-changer when it comes to managing keys securely and efficiently. Whether for personal use or managing multiple properties, the system is incredibly intuitive and reliable. The ability to grant and revoke access remotely, track key activity in real-time, and avoid the hassle of physical handovers is simply invaluable. Their customer support is responsive and helpful, and the hardware is sleek and durable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to streamline key exchanges with confidence.

If there were zero stars

If there were zero stars, they would get zero. It's such a basic functionality, unlock, get key, return key, yet it's amazingly simple to lock everyone out of ever getting the key and with no way to fix it without an administrator. Why? I'm trying to think of a worse way for the system to work and I cannot come up with one.

Reply from Keycafe

We’re sorry you had such a frustrating experience. The system is designed with key security in mind, which means only authorized users or admins can make certain changes. That said, if you were locked out and couldn’t retrieve a key, that’s a failure on our part to guide you through a clear process as there are multiple redundancies.

We’d like to understand what went wrong and help resolve it. If you can reach out to support@keycafe.com with your account or location details, we’ll investigate and work on a solution so this doesn’t happen again.

Thanks for the feedback.

KeyCafe's is a bad option for Airbnb rentals.

KeyCafe's service for Airbnb rentals is very unreliable, in many ways. It has caused us several bad reviews. Their software-network that syncs bookings often fails. The hardware part keeping the keys CONSTANTLY fails. The website is zero intuitive, and overly complicated for the goal that is trying to achieve. The network of locations that house their lockboxes have no commitment with KeyCafe's HQ and often fail to provide their end of the bargain, which is simply being open at published business hours. Keycafe's billing is also very user unfriendly, it's either a yearly plan or some sort of buying credits in advance at their own terms which you can't opt out, and then you have a bunch of duplicated invoices for credits and charges - accounting nightmare. Cherry on top is their customer service, completely inept and unable to resolve any issues timely. I only use it because it's my only option.

Seamless, Secure, and Stress-Free Key Management

As part of our work with the NHS, we provide temporary accommodation for the loved ones of patients undergoing cancer treatment, as well as long-term doctors and nurses. The Keycafe system has made the process of key collection and drop-off completely seamless and stress-free for everyone using our accommodation. The built-in camera and random allocation of boxes have significantly improved security, giving both our guests and team peace of mind. It’s been a game-changer for our operations, and we highly recommend it!

Exceptional Product and Outstanding Customer Service

We’ve had a fantastic experience using Keycafe’s key collection device. It has completely transformed how we manage our keys, making the process both efficient and pain-free.

From the very beginning, the customer service has been nothing short of incredible. Our first meeting with Will was thorough and informative—he took the time to understand our specific needs and ensure that the product would suit us perfectly. Once we received the device, Dimitri went above and beyond to help us set it up and make sure we were using the software as effectively as possible, tailoring his guidance to our business needs.

The team has consistently exceeded our expectations, and it’s comforting to know that they’re always available should we need further assistance. I highly recommend Keycafe to anyone looking for a seamless and reliable key management solution.
