StayDesk helps homestays, plantation stays, wildlife lodges and beach resorts in Karnataka manage reservations, run the front desk, automate GST billing, and take commission-free direct bookings — all from one simple dashboard.
Karnataka's hospitality runs on short trips. Coorg, Chikmagalur and Sakleshpur fill with Bengaluru families on Friday and empty by Sunday evening. Gokarna and Murudeshwar draw a younger, longer-staying crowd. Kabini and Bandipur lodges sell safari packages rather than plain room nights. What most of these have in common is a small owner-run team, a heavy weekend skew, and a lot of bookings that start as a phone call or a WhatsApp message.
StayDesk is built for exactly that. Bookings from every source — walk-in, phone, WhatsApp, your own booking page — sit in one list you can search by name or number. Rates are set on a month calendar, so Friday and Saturday can be priced differently from midweek in a single action. Extras that plantation and lodge properties sell constantly — estate tours, safari fees, meals, a bottle of water from the store — get added to the guest's folio and settle on one bill at checkout.
GST billing is built in and can be switched off for smaller homestays under the turnover threshold. Housekeeping tasks are created automatically when a guest checks out, which matters when Sunday brings six departures at once. Plans start at ₹999/month with a 30-day free trial, and we will set it up with you over a call at no cost.

Yes. The Starter plan covers up to 10 rooms at ₹999/month. You can set up cottages, rooms or tents as separate room types, each with its own tariff and availability.
Yes, and that is the common case. You record the booking in StayDesk with the source tagged as phone or WhatsApp, so it appears in the same calendar and reports as everything else — and your reports finally show where business actually comes from.
The rate calendar shows a full month per room type. You can drag across all the Fridays and Saturdays in a season and set a higher rate for them at once, and mark sold-out dates so you spot demand early.
Yes. Any extra charge — a jeep safari, a plantation walk, meals, store items — goes onto the guest's folio and appears on one GST-compliant invoice at checkout.
No. GST is a setting you can turn off, which suits properties under the turnover threshold. If you register later, you switch it on and invoices update automatically.
Yes. Housekeeping is a simple task board — pending, in progress, completed — and a checkout automatically creates the cleaning task for that room. Staff tap Start and Complete; there is nothing to learn.
