The Challenge
Student hostels typically run bookings through WhatsApp threads, spreadsheets, and paper registers — no real-time view of which beds are free, who owes what, or who actually checked in. Every semester's move-in becomes a manual scramble for front-desk staff, and prospective tenants have no way to see or request a room themselves.
The Approach
Innova Hostel puts room availability behind a QR code — a student scans a poster at the branch, picks an open bed from a live map, and submits their own booking request. Staff approve or reject from one queue, and from there, checked-in occupancy, invoices, arrears, and academic-year billing all run off that same booking record.
QR Self-Service
Students scan and request a bed themselves — no app, no account.
Room & Bed Inventory
Room types, physical rooms, and individual beds, gender-locked automatically.
Tenant & Booking Records
Check-in, check-out, and cancellations tracked per academic year and semester.
Billing & Arrears
Invoices, part-payments, and outstanding balances tracked per tenant.
Role-Based Access
Owner, Manager, Front Desk, and Accountant each see only their workflow.
What It Does
QR Booking Requests
Print a QR code per branch. Students scan it, browse live bed availability by room type, and submit a booking request straight from their phone.
Approval Queue
Every QR request lands in one queue for staff to approve or reject, keeping self-service requests separate from front-desk-entered bookings.
Gender-Locked Allocation
The first tenant booked into a room sets its gender lock automatically, so front desk can't accidentally mix a room.
Academic Year & Semester Billing
Bookings run against configurable academic years and semesters, with a per-property billing mode — yearly, semester, or monthly.
Invoicing & Arrears Tracking
Invoices, partial payments, and outstanding balances are tracked per tenant, with automated due-date and arrears reminders.
Front Desk Operations
Visitor logs and maintenance requests run in the same system as billing and bookings, not a separate logbook.
