1. Who is it for?
Independent homestay hosts, boutique bed & breakfasts, cottages, farm stays, and eco-resorts with 1 to 25 rooms. If you handle bookings directly on WhatsApp or over phone calls, NovaStay was made for you.
2. What problem does it solve?
Most property software is built for huge 200-room luxury chains and costs thousands of rupees with confusing menus. Homestay hosts end up using paper registers, leading to forgotten advance payments, awkward double bookings during peak season, and scattered guest ID photos. NovaStay replaces the paper diary with a simple 3-tap smartphone screen.
3. What features are included in the first version?
