Andrew M. Shop, Fleet Manager and Mechanic Architecture & Planning ### "Extremely Satisfied" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 24, 2026 From initial VTC consultation to kickoff, our experience is just what we needed. We are a landscaping company with 20+ assets. Before Keycafe - keys were routinely lost or misplaced. Now we know where the keys are, who has the keys and when they were last checked out. Keycafe is well worth the money spent!! Pros The peace of mind of knowing keys are stored securely and easy usage. The mobile app is stellar - I am able manage access or create new users within seconds using my phone as well as see the history of the keys. Cons No real con comes to mind. The only con would be if there is a huge key fob with a bunch of keys attached to it - that it may be a little too big to fit into the box. We had this issue, but found out that all except two of the keys needed to actually be there and it all fits now.

CD Carolina D. Operation Manager Hospitality ### "Key Cafe experience as a short-term operations manager" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 22, 2026 It is an excellente and friendly system if you want to control the keys, access, check in/out or permission who enter to you house/apartament. I really like it, the guests can use the lockers if they want to share the key with somebody else. Pros As a short-term operations manager, the Key Cafe system has helped me manage all reservations; I can authorize or deny each entry and keep track of the keys. Cons Every bin must say "Close me" because most of people leave the locker open and then, they only put the key there without scan it. This act has caused a lot of problems because I do not see the key but actually is there.

Pros We use 2 keycafé lockers to exchange keys in our park. Every user ha access only to the keys he need and everything it's tracked, so we know who has each keys and for how long.
