StayDesk Accounts · add-on

Hotel accounting that replaces Tally

Your bookings, payments, restaurant bills and expenses become Day Book, ledgers, Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet — automatically. No second software, no double entry, no waiting for month-end.

Same words as Tally GST & TDS ready Bank reconciliation Tally export for your CA

Sound familiar?

The hidden cost of keeping Tally on the side

  • Every bill and payment is typed into Tally a second time
  • You find out the month's profit only when the accountant visits
  • Bank statements are ticked line by line with a pen
  • GST and TDS figures are collected in a rush at month-end
  • Tally runs on one office computer, and only one person knows it
  • Supplier dues and guest dues live in different notebooks

How it works

You run the resort. The books follow.

Nothing new to learn at the front desk. Accounts reads what your team already does in StayDesk and writes the entries in proper double-entry form.

Step 1

You work in StayDesk

  • Guest checks out
  • UPI / cash / card payment
  • Restaurant bill
  • Expense or supplier bill
Step 2

StayDesk writes the entries

  • Sales voucher + Output CGST / SGST
  • Receipt into Cash or Bank
  • Payment / Purchase voucher
  • Edits and cancellations corrected
Step 3

You see the numbers

  • Profit & Loss
  • Balance Sheet & Trial Balance
  • GSTR-3B & TDS
  • Cash book, bank book, ledgers

Explained simply

One checkout. Two entries. Zero typing.

When Ravi checks out with a ₹5,600 bill, StayDesk records the sale and the GST. When he pays by UPI, it records the money in your bank and clears his due. Your accountant sees exactly what he would have typed in Tally.

Edit the bill later? The entry corrects itself. Cancel a booking with a fee? The fee is recorded as income.

StayDesk Accounts — FAQ

Do I still need Tally?+

For day-to-day books, no. StayDesk keeps full double-entry books and gives Day Book, ledgers, P&L, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, GST and TDS reports. If your CA prefers to finalise accounts in Tally, download the Tally files and he imports them — nothing is typed again.

I don't know accounting. Can I still use it?+

Yes. You keep working in StayDesk as you do today; the entries are made for you. For the few things that don't pass through bookings or expenses — like owner money, loans or a cash deposit — you pick what happened from a list, and StayDesk chooses the debit and credit. A step-by-step user guide comes with the add-on.

What does it cost?+

The Accounts add-on is ₹299 per month on the Starter and Growth plans. It is free during your StayDesk trial, so you can see it with your own bookings first.

Which bank statements can I upload?+

Statements downloaded from net banking as Excel (.xlsx) or CSV, from any Indian bank — HDFC, SBI, ICICI, Axis, Kotak and others. StayDesk finds the date, description, withdrawal and deposit columns itself.

How is GST handled?+

Room, food and other sales are recorded with Output GST, shown as CGST and SGST. GST on purchase bills is recorded as Input GST. The GSTR-3B summary shows GST to pay, and the invoice-wise GST report helps file GSTR-1. Check returns with your CA before filing.

Can my accountant log in?+

Yes. Add him under Staff & Roles with the Accountant role. He can see and download all accounts and reports but cannot change bookings, payments or settings.

What if I edit an old booking?+

The accounting entry updates automatically. Once you close a financial year, that year is locked, so filed numbers never change.

Is my data safe?+

Your accounts live in the same secure StayDesk account as your bookings, with encryption and daily backups. Only staff you give permission to can see them.
