# Public Guest App

### What is the Public Guest App

The `public guest app` refers to the public version of your guest app. It sounds the same, but it is slightly different. At HolidayHero, the reservation is the central piece of the guest experience. On some occasions and through some OTAs, it is impossible to get all the details for an invite. That's where the public guest app comes in.

The public guest app is a special reservation stage in the guest journey. Managing this stage is done through the Reservation Stages tab within the brand.
