StayDesk is a simple, affordable hotel property management system (PMS) for Indian hotels, resorts and homestays — reservations, front desk, GST billing, OTAs and direct bookings in one place.
Enterprise hotel PMS platforms are built for large chains and priced for them too. StayDesk brings the same essentials — reservations, front desk, housekeeping, billing and reports — to independent Indian hotels, resorts and homestays, at a price that makes sense for a 10-to-80-room property.
Because it's cloud-based, there's nothing to install and nothing to maintain. Log in from your phone at the front desk or your laptop in the back office; your data stays in sync and is hosted on cloud infrastructure in India.
And unlike a plain PMS, StayDesk includes a commission-free booking engine, so the same system that runs your property also brings in direct, commission-free bookings paid straight into your own Razorpay account.
One system instead of a register, a bill book, an Excel sheet and five OTA extranets.
| Reservations | Booking calendar, walk-in / phone / group bookings, room assignment, extra beds, discounts, advance payments, confirmation letters |
| Front desk | Arrivals, departures and in-house guests; check-in with ID proof and guest registration card; one-click checkout |
| Housekeeping | Live room status board — vacant clean, dirty, occupied, out of order — and cleaning tasks |
| Rates | Rate calendar per room type with seasonal and weekend pricing |
| Billing | Guest folio, GST invoices (or GST off), cash bills, receipts, refunds, payment links |
| Distribution | Commission-free booking engine + channel manager for Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Agoda, Airbnb |
| Guests | Guest history and CRM (VIPs, birthdays, invite-back messages); Aadhaar QR verification against UIDAI's signature, free |
| Restaurant | Restaurant POS add-on: table and counter orders, KOT, GST bills, charge to room, credit customers, QR menu |
| Back office | Store billing, inventory & storerooms, expenses & vendor credit, monthly cash closing |
| Reports | Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, collections, outstanding, booking sources, profit & loss |
| Team | Staff logins with role-based permissions; owner mobile app for Android; several properties under one owner login |
For an independent property, the right PMS is the one your front-desk team will actually use every day. Look for four things: it should work on a phone as well as a laptop, handle Indian GST correctly (including properties that aren't GST-registered), connect to the OTAs you already sell on, and cost a sensible share of your monthly room revenue.
Large-chain systems tick the feature boxes but need training, setup fees and annual contracts. Booking-only tools are cheap but stop at the reservation — you're back to a bill book for food, Excel for expenses and WhatsApp for housekeeping. StayDesk sits in between: the full daily workflow of a hotel, set up in minutes, priced by room count.
Running a resort rather than a city hotel? See resort management software for meal plans, activities and cottages, or the channel manager for OTA sync. Properties in Goa, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan can see notes for their region.
Built specifically for Indian hospitality.
Rates and availability synced to Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Agoda, Airbnb and more. OTA bookings land in StayDesk automatically — no double bookings.
Your own commission-free booking page. Guests book and pay online — the revenue is yours, not an OTA's.
Accept UPI, cards & net-banking through your own Razorpay account. Send payment links over WhatsApp to confirm bookings fast.
Visual booking calendar, group and multi-room bookings, walk-ins and easy modifications.
Today's arrivals, departures and in-house guests at a glance. One-tap check-in and checkout.
Automatic GST on invoices — or switch it off for small properties under the turnover threshold.
Repeat-guest history, preferences and contact details — turn first-time visitors into regulars.
Live room status and task assignment so rooms get turned around faster.
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.
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).
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.
Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, collections and P&L — know what drives your revenue.
Add your team with role-based permissions — front desk, housekeeping, managers — so each person sees only what they need.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The core features are a booking calendar, front desk check-in and check-out, housekeeping status, rate management, guest folio and GST billing, payments, and reports (occupancy, ADR, collections). Good hotel software in India should also include a channel manager for OTAs, a direct booking engine, staff roles and a mobile app. StayDesk includes all of these.
For a small or mid-sized independent hotel, the best PMS is one your staff will use every day: simple screens, works on a phone, correct GST, connects to your OTAs and priced by room count. StayDesk is built for exactly that, from ₹999/month with a 15-day free trial so you can compare it on your own property.
