Mezbaan Sarai

Run the front desk from one screen.

Mezbaan Sarai is for owner-run hotels without a restaurant of their own. Rooms, rates, guests, folios and the night audit live in one place, and a summary of the day is ready for you every night.

For owners and front-desk teams. Includes the direct booking engine.

Mezbaan Sarai

A sarai is the inn where a traveller rests for the night. Business type: Hotel

The receptionist’s day on one grid

Every room by date, its housekeeping status, today’s arrivals and the night audit, so check-in takes seconds on a busy shift.

  • Tentative holds that expire on their own, so a room is never blocked by a forgotten enquiry.
  • Housekeeping states for every room: dirty, clean, inspected or out of order.
  • Night audit posts room charges and closes the day.
  • Advance payment links on the hotel’s own WhatsApp number, once the WhatsApp provider and payment gateway are connected.

  • Guest profiles and enquiries

    Repeat and VIP guests recognised, and an enquiry pipeline with follow-up owners.

  • Transactional WhatsApp

    Confirmations, pre-arrival notes, payment links and bills from your own number, once the WhatsApp provider is connected.

  • Three dashboards

    Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, collections and an estimated P&L, for today, this month and 12 months.

  • Direct booking engine

    Guests book and pay an advance on your own page, straight onto the room grid.

  • Channel manager

    Connect a channel-manager partner to bring OTA bookings onto the grid; staff can also enter them by hand.

Know your night before you sleep

The nightly owner summary reports rooms sold, room revenue and collections, labelled Estimated until night audit has posted.

  • Built from the same definitions as the dashboards and Excel exports.
  • Sent from your business’s own WhatsApp number once the provider is connected.
  • Open a restaurant outlet later and the hotel becomes Mezbaan Haveli, with no data to move.
