Homestay management, without the notebook

Most Indian homestays are run by the owner, often with one caretaker. Bookings arrive on Airbnb, Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, phone calls and WhatsApp, and the only full record is a notebook. That is how double bookings, missed advances and lost guest details happen.

StayDesk puts every booking in one calendar, keeps your OTA listings in sync, and gives your caretaker a simple screen with today's arrivals. Check-in takes seconds with an Aadhaar QR scan, bills come out with or without GST, and your own booking page brings past guests back without commission.

It works just as well as a guest house management system for lodges, B&Bs, farm stays and service apartments.

Sound familiar?

  • Bookings live in a notebook, WhatsApp chats and three OTA apps
  • Double booking when Airbnb and Booking.com both sell the same room
  • Typing guest ID details into a register at midnight check-ins
  • Handwritten bills, and no idea of the month's real income
  • Paying OTA commission again when a past guest comes back
  • The caretaker has to call you for every arrival

A day at your homestay with StayDesk

  1. 1
    Morning
    See today's arrivals and departures on your phone. The caretaker sees the same list, so nobody calls you.
  2. 2
    Booking comes in
    Airbnb, Booking.com or MakeMyTrip bookings land in StayDesk and the room closes on the other sites. Phone and WhatsApp bookings take 30 seconds to add.
  3. 3
    Guest arrives
    Scan their Aadhaar QR — details fill themselves and StayDesk checks it's genuine. No photocopies.
  4. 4
    Check-out
    Room, meals and extras on one bill, with GST or without if you're not registered. Send it on WhatsApp.
  5. 5
    Month end
    Income, expenses and occupancy in one report — and a list of past guests to invite back directly.

Everything a homestay needs, nothing it doesn't

Start with bookings and bills; add OTAs, direct bookings and reports when you're ready.

Channel Manager

Rates and availability synced to Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Agoda, Airbnb and more. OTA bookings land in StayDesk automatically — no double bookings.

Direct Booking Engine

Your own commission-free booking page. Guests book and pay online — the revenue is yours, not an OTA's.

Online Payments

Accept UPI, cards & net-banking through your own Razorpay account. Send payment links over WhatsApp to confirm bookings fast.

Reservation Management

Visual booking calendar, group and multi-room bookings, walk-ins and easy modifications.

Front Desk

Today's arrivals, departures and in-house guests at a glance. One-tap check-in and checkout.

Flexible GST Billing

Automatic GST on invoices — or switch it off for small properties under the turnover threshold.

Guest CRM & Profiles

Repeat-guest history, preferences and contact details — turn first-time visitors into regulars.

Housekeeping Board

Live room status and task assignment so rooms get turned around faster.

Store & Point of Sale

Sell food, drinks and sundries from your in-resort store — add them to the guest's folio or ring up a quick cash bill, all from one product list.

Inventory & Stores

Track consumables and assets in your own categories, with low-stock alerts and a record of what was used in which room or department. Run several storerooms — kitchen, bar, housekeeping — and move stock between them (Growth & Pro).

Expenses & Vendor Credit

Log expenses paid now or bought on credit. See what you owe each vendor, pay several bills in one go, and keep a running ledger per vendor.

Smart Reports

Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, collections and P&L — know what drives your revenue.

Staff Roles & Access

Add your team with role-based permissions — front desk, housekeeping, managers — so each person sees only what they need.

Aadhaar Verification

Scan or upload the guest's Aadhaar and StayDesk checks UIDAI's digital signature, then fills the booking. Free, no OTP, no photocopies — the full number is never stored.

Paperless Check-in & E-signature

Guests sign the registration form on your tablet or phone — or from their own phone before arrival. The signature prints on the registration card. No paper forms to file.

Restaurant POS (add-on)

Bill your restaurant from StayDesk: counter and table orders, kitchen tickets (KOT), GST bills on a thermal printer, charge to the guest's room, credit customers, merge / split bills and QR ordering from tables and rooms.

Multiple Properties, One Login

Own more than one resort? Manage all of them with a single login and switch from the top bar. Each property keeps its own bookings, staff and billing.

Homestay management software — FAQ

What is homestay management software?+

Homestay management software keeps your bookings, guests, check-ins, bills and OTA listings in one place on your phone or laptop, instead of a notebook, WhatsApp and separate OTA apps. StayDesk is built for small Indian homestays, guest houses and B&Bs.

Is it suitable for a homestay with only 3–6 rooms?+

Yes. The Starter plan covers up to 10 rooms at ₹999/month. Most homestay owners run everything from a phone, and setup takes about 15 minutes with our team helping on WhatsApp.

My homestay is not GST-registered. Can I still make bills?+

Yes. Switch GST off in settings and bills are made without GST. If you register later, switching it on takes one click and the right GST slab is applied per room.

Can it stop double bookings between Airbnb and Booking.com?+

Yes. StayDesk Channel Manager keeps availability in sync with Airbnb, Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Agoda and more, so a room booked on one site closes on the others. Calendar sync (iCal) for Airbnb-style listings is also free on every plan.

Is this also a guest house management system?+

Yes. Guest houses, lodges, B&Bs, farm stays and service apartments use StayDesk the same way: rooms, bookings, check-in, bills, expenses and reports. Each staff member gets a login with only the screens they need.

Can guests book directly without an OTA?+

Yes. Every property gets its own booking page. Guests book and pay online (UPI or card) into your own Razorpay account, with no commission. Share the link on WhatsApp, Instagram and Google.

Do I need a computer?+

No. StayDesk works in any phone browser and has an Android app for owners. A laptop is handy for printing bills but not required.
