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.
Simple flat pricing
HR free up to 15 staff; Hotel PMS a flat ₹1,000/room/year — no per-month meters or surprise bills.
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.
