HotelDsk Property Ops

All-in-one, cloud-based hotel PMS — for the modern hotel owner

Do you know everything that needs to happen in your hotel today?

One system for the whole hotel: bookings that arrive and bill themselves, rates on every booking site, and the property behind them — staff shifts and leave, tasks that assign themselves, the kitchen, the stock room, the cleaning — so nothing gets missed.

No more chasing housekeeping on WhatsApp.

Nothing to install Hindi · Hinglish · English Staff without email can still log in

Purpose-built for independent hotels, guesthouses, homestays & villas — including anything you list on Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com. The places big PMS software is too heavy for.

The daily board

Every job in the hotel, on one dashboard

Right now the work is spread across four WhatsApp groups, a register at the desk and somebody's memory. HotelDsk puts all of it in one place that everyone is already looking at.

Nothing gets lost in a chat thread

A guest request, a leaking tap, a room that needs re-cleaning — each becomes a job with a name against it and a time it was finished.

You hear about it before the guest does

The missed closing, the overdue service, the shelf that's about to run out — the board raises them while there's still time to act.

Everyone reads it in their own language

Each person picks their own — the owner can stay in English while the team reads Hindi or Hinglish. Same board, same buttons.

All in one place

Everything a small property actually runs on

Not a booking engine with extras bolted on. This is the operations half — the part that decides whether the room is ready, the meal is on time and the money is accounted for.

What HotelDsk covers

Live room board

Every room and zone's stage at a glance — occupied, to clean, being cleaned, inspected, ready. It changes as the work happens, not when someone remembers to say so.

Housekeeping & checklists

Turnovers, deep cleans and re-cleans raised from what the rooms are actually doing, each with its checklist attached and a name against it.

Room inspection

A room that fails inspection goes back on the board needing a re-clean, and stays there until an inspection passes it. Nobody can quietly mark it done.

Do not disturb

A guest who wants to be left alone gets flagged, and the room stops generating cleaning jobs for the day instead of appearing as a staff failure.

Guest requests

Extra towels, a late checkout, a taxi at six — logged once and routed to whoever is actually on shift, with a clock running on it.

Visitor gate log

Deliveries, contractors and vendors recorded at the gate in a few taps — plus who's expected today, so you can answer "who came in on Tuesday" without a register.

Meals & kitchen board

Plan breakfast, lunch and dinner ahead; the kitchen cooks to the same list the desk quotes from. Your dishes, your meal times.

Stock & stock-takes

Count by store — kitchen, linen, housekeeping — each on its own schedule. Anything under its keep level is flagged before it runs out, and a store that's overdue a count says so.

Purchases & vendors

Order for later, or record what was bought at the market this morning. Plain words on the form — nobody has to decide what an invoice is.

Maintenance & servicing

Faults reported from the floor, servicing that comes round on a schedule and lands on the person it's assigned to, and a record of what was done to the generator last time.

Shifts, attendance & leave

Who's on, who clocked in, who's covering. Leave is requested and answered in the app — with the reason — instead of dying in a group chat at 11pm.

End-of-day lockdown

A closing checklist someone has to actually file — gates, gas, lights, cash. If it isn't filed, you find out in the morning rather than never.

Petty cash

Cash paid at the market comes off the float the moment it's recorded, so the balance on the screen is the balance in the tin.

Bills, payables & standing costs

What's owed, to whom, and how long it's been sitting — with the rent, the wifi and the cook's wages coming round on their own each month.

Reports, owner-only

Where the month went, by category and by person, plus the closing history — so a bad week is visible as a pattern rather than a feeling. Staff don't see the aggregate.

Alert centre

One place for everything waiting on a decision: overdue jobs, low stock, unfiled closings, a request nobody has answered.

Roles & permissions

A housekeeper sees her rooms. A chef sees the kitchen and the market money. Settling credit and the aggregate financials stay with the owner.

Audit log

Who changed what, and when. A correction is recorded as a correction rather than quietly overwriting the thing it corrected.

Guest QR portal

A code in the room opens a page where a guest can ask for towels, report a problem or order food. No app to download, no account to create.

Room ordering & tabs

Guests order from your menu and the charges collect on a room tab your staff can see and post. What's owed is tracked here; settling it stays with whatever issues your bill.

Kitchen display

Orders land in front of the cook as a live list — quantities, allergy flags, the room, an ETA. No prices, because they aren't the kitchen's business.

Pre-arrival & meal plans

Ask before they arrive: what time, what they can't eat, which meal plan. The kitchen gets headcounts instead of surprises.

Your menu, your prices

Dishes, quick-picks and what's available today are yours to set — and to change at 6am when the vegetables didn't turn up.

Mini-bar at checkout

A checkout won't close quietly without asking whether the mini-bar was checked. Unknown means ask — that's money you were losing to memory.

Also on the board: equipment & asset register · incident log · lost & found · licence renewals · staff safety alert · notice board · mini-bar check before checkout · AI-drafted checklists and schedules

Not here, on purpose: no channel manager, no OTA rate sync, no card payments, no guest folio. Whatever takes your bookings keeps doing exactly that. Whatever issues your bills keeps doing it — HotelDsk runs the floor. Why we stop there →

Who uses it

One board, six different days

The same property, opened by six different people. Everybody lands on their own work first — nobody has to learn the parts of the app that aren't theirs.

Owner

Opens on: the whole house

Every zone, the petty-cash balance, what's owed and to whom, where the month went. Settles credit, answers leave requests, and decides who can do what. The aggregate financials are yours alone.

Housekeeper

Opens on: today's tasks

Her rooms, her checklists, the linen stock. Takes a job, works through it, marks it done — and can pass a room at inspection, so a turnover doesn't wait on the owner walking over.

Chef

Opens on: the kitchen

How many for lunch, what's on the plan, what's left in the store. Buys at the market and records the bill against petty cash in plain words — never asked to classify a document.

Caretaker

Opens on: every zone's status

Facilities stock, maintenance tickets, vendor orders, the visitor history. Posts the morning briefing and hands work out, which is usually what makes them the second pair of eyes on the property.

Cleaning staff

Opens on: just the jobs

Today's list and the checklist that goes with each one. Can report a broken tap without knowing the words "maintenance ticket" — a photo and a tap is enough.

Gate guard

Opens on: the visitor log

Who came in, who left, who's expected today, which delivery belongs to which order. That, by default, and nothing else — the rest of the app isn't in their way.

Roles are defaults, not locks. Everyone can reach the whole board — the role only decides what's waiting when they open it. If your caretaker covers reception on Sundays, you grant that one permission to that one person; you don't rebuild anything.

Except the money. Wages, the profit-and-loss, vendor totals and the audit log are the owner's screens and stay that way. Staff record what they spent; you're the one who settles it.

The tour

Ten screens, and the whole house is on them

Real screens from the app — not mock-ups. Every one of these is one tap from the daily board.

Swipe through the app

Run Every Shift Smarter — clarity for every role, every day. The HotelDsk app on a phone.
See Today at a Glance — priorities, handovers, and hotel activity in one view.
Keep Every Task Accountable — assigned, taken and finished work, with a name against each job.
Know Every Room’s Status — the live room board showing which rooms are occupied, to clean, being cleaned and vacant.
Log Every Visitor Faster — deliveries, contractors and vendors recorded at the gate in a few taps.
Every Action, One Work Hub — the Work Hub screen gathering everything a shift has to get through.
Your Entire Hotel, Connected — every part of the property reporting into one live board.
Know What You Have — stock counts by store, with anything below its keep level flagged.
Understand Every Expense — what was bought, by whom, and what is still unpaid.
Work Naturally in Hinglish — clear, familiar instructions for every shift. The same screen reading “Suprabhat, Maria”, “aaj 2 kaam, 1 chal raha hai” and a Khula button, with the bottom bar labelled Home, Kaam, Kamre, Visitors, Work Hub and Aur.
Bigger screen at the desk

The same board, laid out for a tablet

Staff work off phones; the desk usually doesn't. Nothing to switch on — the same login opens the wider layout.

Swipe through the tablet views

Before you ask

The questions we get first

Is a housekeeping board any use if it isn't connected to my bookings?
Yes — because room status has nothing to do with where the booking came from. Walk-in, phone call or OTA, the same room still has to be stripped, cleaned, checked and released. What a connected system adds is that a checkout flips the room to dirty by itself; we don't have that, and it's a convenience rather than the work. The work is everything after: who's cleaning it, whether it passed inspection, what the mini-bar owes you, and whether the desk can see it's ready without phoning upstairs. The longer answer is here.
Does this replace my PMS or my booking site?
No, and it isn't trying to. Rates, availability, the guest folio and the final bill stay in whatever issues them today — your PMS, your booking site, or a receipt book. HotelDsk is the operations half: which rooms are ready, who is doing what, what has been spent, what is running out. The two sit side by side.
My staff don't have work email addresses. Can they still use it?
Yes — that's the normal case here, not the exception. You add a staff member and share a login link with them; they open it once on their phone and they're in. No email account, no app store, no password to remember. You can revoke any link from the team screen.
Is there anything to install?
No. It runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, and adds itself to the phone's home screen so it opens like an app. Nothing to download, nothing to update, and it works on the cheap Android handsets most floor staff carry.
How long does setup take?
An afternoon is typical. Creating the property takes about a minute — you name it and say how many rooms, and your rooms, a cleaning checklist and starter stock lists are created for you. The rest is adding your team and adjusting the lists to match your house, which we'll do with you.
What does it cost?
Free forever up to five rooms, with every module included — the room board, tasks, staff, kitchen, stock, maintenance and alerts. Paid plans begin only once you pass five rooms. No contract and no lock-in — the full breakdown is below.
Which languages does it work in?
English, Hindi (Devanagari) and Hinglish (Roman script, keeping the English words staff already say) ship today, and each person picks their own — the owner can stay in English while the team reads theirs. Other language packs can be added; tell us what your team reads.
Who's behind this, and how many properties use it?
HotelDsk is built and run inside a working guesthouse in the Himalayan foothills — housekeepers, a chef, a caretaker and the owner work off it every shift, and the screens on this page are that property's. Every feature exists because a shift needed it. New properties come aboard hands-on, one at a time: we sit with you to get your rooms and lists right, and the person who answers the chat is the person who builds the thing.
Can I get my data out?
Yes, whenever you want, and without asking us. It's your property's data — we hold it to run the software for you and nothing else. There's no list, no newsletter and no sharing of your details; the privacy policy says so in plainer words than most.

Beyond the PMS

Every PMS manages bookings. None of them run the property.

We compared twenty of them. Rooms, rates and reservations — then the software stops, and the actual hotel begins. HotelDsk does both, and this is the half nobody else has:

Staff clock in and out on their own phones Leave requests, approvals and cover in one place Tasks route themselves to whoever is on shift Kitchen meal planning, and what was actually served Stock counts and audit checks, room by room Cleaning checklists with inspection sign-off
Already running something?

Keep it. There is nothing here to switch away from.

HotelDsk does not replace your booking system, connect to it, or ask it for anything — it runs beside it, and only covers the half it was never built for. A PMS, a channel manager, a spreadsheet, a paper diary or nothing at all: on this side it makes no difference, and nothing about how your rooms get sold changes on the day you start.
