CHALLENGE
PG and Hostel Operations Are Uniquely Complex
Bed-Level Complexity
Managing individual beds in shared rooms -- not just units. Occupancy, pricing, and availability must work at the bed level.
Meal Plan Chaos
Breakfast, lunch, dinner with different plans per resident. Tracking meals, billing extras, and managing dietary needs manually is overwhelming.
Cash & Mixed Payments
Many residents pay cash, UPI, or bank transfer. Tracking deposits, advances, and partial payments across methods is error-prone.
Walk-In Bookings
Unlike coliving with long lead times, PG and hostels get daily walk-ins. You need instant availability and fast onboarding.
High Turnover
Monthly, weekly, even daily stays. The turnaround volume is 5-10x higher than traditional rental. Manual processes break down.
Parent & Guardian Access
For student PGs, parents want visibility into safety, meals, and payments. No system supports this natively.
