Product guide — real Kyasti screens

How to run a hostel

Start every morning on Overview. You see which rooms are filled, what is still to collect, and whether KYC or police work is waiting — without opening a spreadsheet.

Hostel ops fail when occupancy lives in a chat group and rent lives in a notebook. Kyasti puts the daily picture on one Overview screen for the business you selected.

Kyasti owner overview with occupancy, dues, KYC and police status
Overview — rooms filled, money collected this month, still to collect, rooms available, plus KYC and police donuts.

What Overview answers in 10 seconds

  • Rooms filled — occupied vs total rooms (for example 1 of 13).
  • Money in this month — tenant payments that already landed.
  • Still to collect — pending rent and deposits, with a count of dues.
  • Rooms available — open inventory, including rooms already reserved for upcoming stays.
  • Needs attention — sold-out buildings, overdue payments, visits today, KYC still needed.

Below the cards you get the operational grid: guests living in, check-ins and check-outs today, open leads, waiting for payment, and landlord payouts due. Two donuts show KYC status and police verification for active guests.

Map every hostel you operate

Add each building once. The Buildings list shows published listings, address, and vacancy — “2 of 2 open”, “9 of 10 open”, or Sold out. Filter by vacancy when you are filling beds; open a building to edit floors and rooms.

Buildings — add a hostel, search by area or city, and see which properties still have open rooms.

Rooms and beds are the source of truth

Under Properties → Rooms, every room shows its building, floor, type (hostel / PG), and beds open (for example 1 of 1, or 3 of 3). Tabs filter All / Open / Occupied / Booked / Unavailable. When a stay ends, the bed flips open so sales can fill it the same day.

Daily rhythm that actually sticks

  1. Open Overview — chase “still to collect” and anything under Needs attention.
  2. Check Rooms if you are selling beds today.
  3. Work Leads and Visits until the prospect becomes a booking.
  4. Confirm the stay under Bookings, then collect rent and deposit under Tenant payments.

Staff can do steps 2–4 on a manager role. You keep owner control of settings and payouts.

Next step
