Why PG owners switch

Run your PG like a business, not a register.

Most PG owners still track rent in a notebook and a WhatsApp group. SastyBed replaces both — every tenant, bed, payment and expense in one dashboard, on web and mobile. It is proper paying-guest management software: automated rent reminders, receipts on tap, live occupancy, mess menus, staff attendance, and a monthly profit report you can hand to your accountant. It is the same hostel management system underneath, set up for monthly rent cycles and per-tenant charges.

Why SastyBed

Everything a PG or hostel owner needs — in one place.

Automated rent collection, online and walk-in bookings, live bed occupancy, tenant management, the weekly mess menu, expenses and reports — plus multi-branch management, staff accounts with role-based access, attendance, complaints, maintenance and inventory — all from one free dashboard.

Live occupancy grid

See every room across every floor of every hostel in real time. Colour-coded for available, occupied, expiring and maintenance — the same visual the mobile owner app uses.

Online & walk-in booking

Run your hostel online, walk-in only, or both. Students browse and book in-app; you accept from your phone, or enrol a walk-in in 30 seconds at the desk.

WhatsApp rent reminders

Stop chasing rent. Connect your WhatsApp Business number once and SastyBed sends rent-due nudges 5 days before, on the day, and 3 days after — automatically, every month, to every student.

7-day mess menu publisher

Publish a different breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack for each day of the week. Tag dishes Veg or Non-veg, mark slots unavailable, and students see the menu live on their app.

Income, expenses & net profit

Track every unit of money in and out. Log utilities, salaries, groceries and maintenance. Mark recurring expenses once and they auto-appear every month. Monthly PDF report ready for your accountant.

Printable + WhatsApp slips

Every enrolment and every payment generates a branded receipt. Print it, or share on WhatsApp in one tap — students get a signed link that opens without logging in.

Multi-branch & staff accounts

Run one hostel or fifty branches from a single dashboard. Create login accounts for your managers and staff — each limited to specific hostels and specific modules with role-based access, so everyone only sees what you allow.

Staff attendance register

Mark a 7-day staff attendance register in seconds — tap Present, Absent, Leave or Half-day for each cook, cleaner and guard. Month-to-date present counts roll up automatically, no biometric machine required.

Complaint & maintenance desk

Log resident complaints by category and severity, assign them to staff, and track each one to resolution. Rooms move to maintenance automatically on checkout — assign a cleaner, then mark them available again.

Inventory & asset tracking

Track every asset — furniture, electronics, kitchen, fixtures — and whether you own it or inherited it from the previous owner, with a live valuation per hostel. Know exactly what's on your floor.

Flexible charges & billing

Bill more than just the bed. Add Mess, AC, Internet, Laundry or Security as per-student charges — the monthly fee and the receipt breakdown calculate themselves, and feed straight into your reports.

Free owner & student apps

A free Android & iOS app for owners (run the hostel from your phone) and a separate app for students (search hostels, book, view the mess menu, pay). Plus WhatsApp announcements to every resident in one tap.
