For PG & paying-guest owners

The best PG management software — free for owners.

SastyBed is free PG & hostel management software for paying-guest owners — automated rent collection, online & walk-in bookings, a live bed occupancy grid, tenant management, mess menu publishing, staff attendance and WhatsApp rent reminders. No subscription, no card required.

Built for PG, hostel & boarding-house owners across India and beyond — priced in ₹, run in English.
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.

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.

PG software FAQ

PG management software — your questions, answered.

Is SastyBed PG management software really free?

Yes. SastyBed is free for PG and hostel owners — no subscription and no card at signup. The rent you collect in cash or by bank/UPI is always 100% yours; SastyBed never touches it. A 5% platform fee applies only to optional online booking payments, if you switch them on.

Does it handle rent collection and reminders?

Yes. SastyBed tracks every tenant's rent, deposit and monthly charges, generates a receipt on each payment, and sends automatic WhatsApp rent reminders before the due date, on the day and after — so you stop chasing tenants.

Can I manage multiple PGs or branches from one account?

Yes. One account runs unlimited PGs, hostels and branches from a single dashboard, with role-based staff accounts so each manager only sees their own property.

Does it work for paying-guest, hostel and boarding setups?

Yes. Whether you run a PG, a student hostel or a boarding house, SastyBed handles bed/room occupancy, online and walk-in enrolment, mess, complaints, staff attendance and reports the same way.

Is there a mobile app for owners and tenants?

Yes. A free owner app to run the PG from your phone, and a free student/tenant app to find PGs, book, see the mess menu and pay — both on Android and iOS.
