Why hotels pick ExperienceSathi

0% transaction fees

Petpooja-style POS take 1.5–2% of every online order (₹90k–1.2L/yr leakage). We take nothing — you keep 100%.

One stack, one bill

Hotel PMS + Restaurant + Bar + HR + Accounts on a single login. No stitching greytHR + Hotelogix + Petpooja + a manual bar register.

Free HR starter + caps

HR free up to 15 staff; per-room PMS capped at ₹9,999/property — so price scales fairly as you grow.

Hospitality-grade HR

Shift roster, tronc/tip distribution, multi-shift attendance and hotel KPIs — generic HRMS (greytHR/Keka/Zoho) don't do this.

Where a competitor may fit better
If you only need bare-bones payroll for a tiny team and nothing hospitality-specific, a free tier like RazorpayX or greytHR's free-under-25 can be cheaper. ExperienceSathi wins when you want hotel-grade HR, or HR plusPMS/F&B/bar on one stack.
