Built on a real lot. Tested well past it.

Ben Huffman built BayRoster to run his own storage lot in Thompson, North Dakota, and it still does. It has since been tested at the fictional 500-unit facility shown here. A single small lot runs on the same software.

Meet the person behind it

Try it before it is yours.

The public demo uses fictional customers. Explore the map and records, then tell me about your spaces, your billing, and what you need to make easier. The public demo has a booking page where you can try a booking. When booking is available, this demo uses TEST payments and made-up records. It cannot reserve a real space or charge real money.

The demo is a small mixed property. The screens above come from the larger test facility.
