Hotels & hostels
Guests leave chargers, jewellery and passports behind every week. A QR at the desk and in each room lets them report a loss the moment they notice — often before they have even left the building.
For business & venues
A QR lost-and-found system your guests can use in seconds
MyTags gives your property a private hotel lost and found system that works with nothing but a phone camera. A guest scans a branded QR to report or claim a lost item, your staff get an instant alert, and no phone number, email or name is ever exposed on either side.

The problem
Lost property is a quiet drain on every venue
Hotels, gyms, events and coworking spaces all deal with the same steady flow of forgotten belongings. Guests cannot reach the right desk, staff lose hours on phone calls and drawers full of unclaimed items, and a chunk of what goes missing simply never finds its way home. The tools most places rely on — a paper logbook, a lost-and-found bin, a shared inbox — were never built for it.
Guests cannot reach the right desk
A guest realises they left something behind after checkout, or a member spots an item that is not theirs. They have no fast way to tell the one person who can help, so the report never happens.
Staff waste hours chasing it
Front-desk and facilities teams field calls, dig through bins and match descriptions to items by hand. It is slow, thankless work that pulls people away from the guests in front of them.
Items go unclaimed
Without a clear, private channel, most found items sit in a drawer until they are thrown out. A missed return is a missed chance to turn a bad moment into a loyal guest.
The fix
One branded QR, at the desk and on your items
Put a MyTags QR where people already look — the front desk, a room card, a gym wall, an event lanyard — and on the items worth protecting. A guest scans it to report a loss or claim a found item, your team gets an instant alert with the message, and every reply relays through MyTags so contact stays private on both sides. See how it works, and how the privacy-first relay keeps details hidden.
What a guest does
- Scans the QR with any phone camera — no app, no signup
- Describes the lost item, or flags one they found
- Sends a message that reaches your staff at once
What your team gets
- An instant push and email alert with the report
- Optional WhatsApp, Slack or webhook into your stack
- A reply that routes back through MyTags — numbers stay private
Who it is for
Built for any place people pass through
The same private QR handles a lobby, a locker room and a festival gate. Start with a free digital tag, then add weatherproof tags where they take a beating.
Gyms & studios
Water bottles, earbuds and locker keys pile up at the front counter. Members scan a tag on the wall to claim what is theirs, without waiting for a staff member to dig through a bin.
Events & venues
Festivals and conferences drown in lost property in a single day. A scannable tag on lanyards, signage and lost-and-found desks routes every report to the crew running the show.
Coworking & offices
Shared desks and meeting rooms swallow laptops, cables and badges. Tag the equipment and the reception point so anyone can flag a found item to facilities in seconds.
Schools & campuses
Uniforms, instruments and devices go missing between classrooms. A private QR lets a finder reach the office without a child ever having a phone number printed on their belongings.
Any front desk
If you run a place people pass through, one branded QR turns every phone into a report button. No new hardware, no counter software, no training beyond "scan the code".

Why MyTags
Not a printed sign — a working backend
An engraved plate or a laminated notice can only sit there. MyTags is a live system: it alerts the right people, keeps every contact private, and lets you manage the whole property from one place — with tags that are passive QR codes, so there is no battery, no pairing and nothing to charge.
A real notification backend
Push and email land the instant a tag is scanned, with the reporter’s message. Add WhatsApp, Slack or a webhook so alerts reach whoever is on shift — not a plate that just sits and waits.
Contact stays private
Every message relays through MyTags. Guests never see a staff line, and staff never publish one. No exposed numbers, no spam, no personal details on a public sign.
One dashboard, every item
Manage tags, read reports and reply from a single place. Update what a tag says any time — repurpose a lobby tag for an event, or move it to a new item, without reprinting.
Free to trial, simple to scale
Start with a free digital tag today, then order weatherproof or Teslin tags from the shop for a full property or chain. Sold globally and across India, with UPI and COD options.
To be clear about what this is: a MyTags tag is a passive QR code, not a GPS or Bluetooth tracker. It cannot follow a person or a vehicle — it only speaks when someone chooses to scan it. That is exactly what makes it safe to hand to guests and print on public signage.
How it works
Live at your desk in three steps
No new hardware and no counter software. See the full walkthrough.
01
Create your tags
Make a digital QR tag in the app — free and live at once. Print it for the desk and rooms, or order weatherproof tags for high-traffic spots.
02
Place them in reach
Add the QR to the front desk, room cards, gym walls, lockers or event signage. Any phone camera opens it — nothing for a guest to download or sign up for.
03
Get the alert, reply
A scan sends your staff a push and email — plus WhatsApp or Slack if you want. Reply through MyTags to arrange the return; contact stays private throughout.
Questions
A QR lost-and-found system, answered
How does a QR lost-and-found system work for a hotel?
You place a branded MyTags QR at the front desk, in rooms, or on high-value items like laptops and umbrellas. A guest scans it with any phone camera and lands on a page to report or claim a lost item. Their message reaches your staff as an instant push and email alert, so the right person can act without a phone tree or a queue.
Do guests or finders need to download an app?
No. Any phone camera opens the tag in a browser — no app to install and no account to create. A guest, a housekeeper, an event attendee or a passer-by can report a found or lost item in seconds. That low friction is what makes a hotel lost and found system actually get used.
Is guest and staff contact information kept private?
Yes. Every message relays through MyTags, so the person who scans never sees a staff phone number, email or name — and your team never has to publish direct lines on a sign. Contact stays private on both sides while the conversation still flows.
Can staff get alerts in Slack or our existing tools?
Yes. Beyond push and email, MyTags can send each scan to WhatsApp, Slack or a webhook into your own system. That real notification backend is what separates MyTags from an engraved plate or a printed sign, which can only sit there and wait.
How much does it cost to get started?
A digital tag is free and live the instant you create it, with no subscription to trial the flow. Premium weatherproof and Teslin tags for lobbies, gym floors and event kits are available in the shop. For a larger rollout across a property or a chain, contact our team and we will help you plan it.
What kinds of businesses use this?
Hotels, hostels, gyms, coworking spaces, event organisers, schools and offices — anywhere people gather and belongings go missing. The same private QR works on a front desk, a locker bank, a cloakroom rail or a piece of shared equipment.
