Hotel management software built for how Indian hotels actually run
ViharaOS is an offline-first property management system for independent Indian hotels — reservations, GST-aware billing, Form-C assistance and front-desk operations in one system that keeps working when the internet does not.
Most hotel software assumes you always have the internet
Cloud-only PMS platforms are built for markets with dependable broadband. Most small and mid-sized Indian hotels do not have that luxury — and the software should not fall over when the connection does.
A dropped connection during check-in freezes the front desk until it comes back.
GST slabs, e-invoicing and ITC rules change often enough that generic billing tools fall behind.
Foreigner registration (Form C) and local police reporting are still tracked on paper or in spreadsheets at many properties.
Rates and availability live in a notebook, a spreadsheet, and three OTA extranets — never in sync.
Staff coordinate housekeeping and maintenance over WhatsApp because there is no shared system of record.
How ViharaOS helps
ViharaOS pairs a native offline-first desktop client with a cloud backend, so day-to-day operations never depend on your internet connection.
Offline-first desktop app
A lightweight Tauri + SQLite desktop client for Windows and macOS keeps taking bookings, check-ins and payments locally, then syncs automatically once you are back online.
GST-aware billing
Folios and invoices apply the correct GST treatment per room rate and F&B item, with slab-aware tax computation built for current Indian rules — reviewed by your accountant, not a substitute for one.
Form-C assistance
The compliance module helps you prepare and track foreigner registration (Form C) records with countdown reminders. This is filing assistance, not legal advice — your property remains responsible for correct and timely submission.
Channel manager via partners
Availability and rate sync with major Indian and international OTAs is delivered through certified channel-manager partner integrations. Coverage and live status depend on which OTAs you connect and your property setup — we do not claim every OTA is live-certified out of the box.
How a property gets started
Set up your property
Add rooms, rate plans and tax rules during onboarding — takes under an hour for most independent hotels.
Run the front desk
Drag-and-drop reservations, walk-ins and check-ins/check-outs work the same online or offline.
Bill with GST built in
Folios and invoices calculate GST automatically as charges are posted, ready for your monthly filing.
Track compliance
Form-C and police-register entries are prepared with reminders so nothing is missed at month-end.
Connect distribution (optional)
Where you want OTA sync, we help you connect via a channel-manager partner integration for the platforms you use.
Who ViharaOS is built for
Independent hotels, 10–60 rooms
Owner-operated or family-run properties that need one system instead of five disconnected tools.
Hotels in low-connectivity towns
Pilgrim towns, hill stations and tier-2/3 cities where broadband is inconsistent.
Multi-property owners
Groups running 2–10 properties who want a shared dashboard without enterprise pricing.
Teams replacing spreadsheets
Front desks currently juggling Excel, WhatsApp and a paper register.
What it's good at, and where it has limits
Where ViharaOS helps most
- Keeps running through internet outages — no blocked check-ins.
- One system for reservations, billing, compliance and housekeeping.
- GST computation built for current Indian slabs and e-invoicing.
- Primary infrastructure hosted in India.
Where it has limits
- Form-C tooling assists filing; it does not replace legal or compliance advice for your specific jurisdiction.
- Channel manager coverage depends on which OTA partner integrations are connected for your property — not every OTA is guaranteed live out of the box.
- Very large hotels (100+ rooms) or full-service resorts with dedicated revenue-management teams may need enterprise-grade tools we do not yet cover.
- The desktop client currently supports Windows and macOS; other platforms are not yet available.
Frequently asked questions
Still unsure? Talk to our team directly.
Both. The desktop app (built on Tauri + SQLite) runs locally and keeps working without internet. It syncs to the cloud backend automatically once a connection is available, so you get offline reliability with cloud backup and multi-device access.
