Property management built for hotels with 10–60 rooms
Small, independently run hotels get squeezed between spreadsheets that are too basic and enterprise PMS platforms priced for hundreds of rooms. ViharaOS is sized and priced for the property in between.
Small hotels are underserved by both extremes
A 20-room hotel does not need — or want to pay for — a revenue-management suite built for a 300-room chain. But it has outgrown a spreadsheet and a WhatsApp group for staff coordination.
Enterprise PMS platforms price and configure for multi-property chains, not a single 20-room hotel.
Spreadsheets do not enforce room-status rules, so double bookings and stale availability creep in.
One or two staff often run reservations, billing and housekeeping — there is no time for a complex tool with a steep learning curve.
GST invoicing, Form-C and police-register entries fall on the same small team, with no dedicated compliance officer.
What ViharaOS gives a small hotel
A front desk that fits one or two people
A drag-and-drop tape chart and a simple check-in flow, designed to be learned in a shift, not a training week.
Billing and GST in the same screen
Folio charges roll up into a GST-ready invoice automatically — no separate accounting tool for day-to-day billing.
Housekeeping without a supervisor app subscription
Room-status boards and cleaning checklists are included, not sold as a bolt-on module.
Compliance assistance sized for a small team
Form-C and local police-register tracking with reminders, built so a single front-desk person can stay on top of deadlines.
A typical small-hotel setup
Add your rooms and rates
Most small properties finish room and rate-plan setup in well under an hour.
Train the front desk in one sitting
The tape chart and check-in flow are designed to be self-explanatory for staff already used to a front desk.
Bill and file as you go
GST invoices generate from folio charges; Form-C entries are prepared with reminders instead of a monthly scramble.
Add a channel-manager partner when ready
Connect OTA sync later, only for the platforms you actually list on.
Built for
Owner-operated hotels
Where the owner or a small family team runs day-to-day operations directly.
10–60 room independent properties
Sized between a homestay and a full-service hotel chain.
Hotels moving off spreadsheets
Teams ready to stop tracking availability in Excel and WhatsApp.
Seasonal / pilgrimage-driven properties
Hotels with sharp seasonal demand swings that need simple, fast rate changes.
What it's good at, and where it has limits
Where ViharaOS helps most
- Priced per property from ₹499/month — no enterprise minimum room count.
- Learnable by a small front-desk team in a single shift.
- Reservations, billing, housekeeping and compliance assistance in one place.
- Works offline, so a single unreliable internet connection is not a single point of failure.
Where it has limits
- ViharaOS does not include a dedicated revenue-management analyst service — dynamic pricing suggestions are a tool, not a consultancy.
- Very small properties with fewer than ~5 rooms may find a lighter guest-house setup a better starting point (see our guest houses page).
- Channel manager coverage depends on which OTA partner integrations you connect for your property.

The core plans are built for roughly 10–60 rooms per property. Smaller guest houses and larger multi-property groups are both supported, but this range is where the default setup fits best without extra configuration.
