The fastest way to find anything in RHS is two keystrokes: ⌘K.
That’s it. From anywhere in the app. Type what you need.
Switching to a different hotel in your group? ⌘K → type the name → enter. Need to jump straight to the security tour list? ⌘K → “security” → enter. Looking for settings, sign out, or contracts? Same thing. Two keystrokes.
Why this exists
Hotel software has a navigation problem. The bigger the toolset gets, the harder it is to move around it. Menus expand. Tabs multiply. The cognitive load on a tired night auditor at 3 AM trying to find one specific module quietly becomes its own kind of friction.
Power tools solved this years ago. Slack has it. Notion has it. Linear, Figma, GitHub. Every modern productivity tool that takes itself seriously. Hospitality software has been late to the party.
So we built it. Fuzzy search across every visible module. All your hotels in one searchable list. Settings, sign out, choose hotel. The 5 things you used last? Right there as the empty state. No mouse needed.
The full Smart Navigation system
Three layers, depending on what device the user is on.
⌘K command palette (every device)
- Keyboard: ⌘K / Ctrl+K to toggle, arrow keys to navigate, enter to open, escape to close
- Mouse: hover also highlights, click opens
- Empty state: last 5 used modules and your hotels
- Fuzzy search ranks by name match, then recency, then frequency
- Localized in en, de, es, fr
Side rail (desktop)
- Collapses to a slim icon strip; expands on hover
- Hotel chip at the top with one-click hotel switcher
- Scrollable module list matching the legacy drawer order
- Footer: Quick search, Switch hotel, Settings, Sign out
- Modules without read access are hidden automatically
Slide-over drawer (mobile)
- Hamburger top-left opens a slide-over drawer
- Body scroll locked while the drawer is open
- Same module list and footer as the desktop rail
Why this is about more than speed
Speed compounds. Two keystrokes saved 30 times a shift, across 8 employees, across 365 days — that’s real time. But the real win is mental load. The team isn’t navigating a tool anymore. They’re using it. There’s a difference, and the team feels it within the first week.
For new hires, ⌘K is also the best discovery layer in the app. They don’t need to memorize where everything lives. They type what they want. The system finds it.
Designed for growth
The platform is at 18+ modules today. We expect that to grow as customers ask for more. Smart Navigation is designed for pinning and grouping extensions later as the module count grows; for now this single search step covers the navigation pain at 18+ modules.
Who it’s for
GMs running multi-property groups who switch hotels 20 times a day. Night auditors moving fast between security tours, the logbook, and parcel pickups. Maintenance technicians filing repairs from their phone in 10 seconds. Heads of housekeeping running inspections on the floor and back to the dashboard for review.
Anyone who actually uses RHS as their daily operations tool — meaning everyone the platform is built for.
The honest part
Most hospitality software still treats the menu as the primary interface. That’s a 2010 idea in a 2026 product. Fast, keyboard-first interaction is what people now expect from any tool they use daily — and hotel teams use RHS daily.
Small feature. Big feel. The kind of thing that quietly tells the team: this tool was built by people who actually use software for a living.
What’s the one app you use every day that you’d never give up because of how fast it lets you move?
