Everything a hostel office does, in one console
Bunkly isn't a generic property manager with the wrong fields bolted on — it's built from admissions through P&L specifically for PG and hostel operations.
Tenant lifecycle
From the first inquiry to the day they move out, every stage of a tenant's stay is tracked in one place.
New admission — Sunrise PG
- One-click admission — the agreement, invoice, and tenant login are all ready the moment you admit them, no separate send-and-wait-for-signature step
- Real-time vacancy, bed by bed, across every hostel — vacant, reserved, occupied, or under maintenance
- Short-stay bookings handled separately from long-term tenants
- Room change requests
- Move-out / separation workflow with notice-period tracking
- A searchable tenant directory — current or past, by name, phone, or tenant code
Billing & collections
Rent doesn't get missed because nobody remembered to raise an invoice.
- Rent and admission invoices generated automatically on your billing cycle
- Configurable grace period and late-fee rules, with daily late-penalty calculation
- Cash, UPI, bank transfer, and Razorpay payment collection, with downloadable receipts
- Amendment requests for a discount or deduction — a manager proposes, the owner approves, nothing changes unilaterally
- One-tap reminders to tenants who are due or overdue
Reporting that actually helps
Not a data export you have to turn into a report yourself — the report, already built.
- Overview tiles: total billed, collected, outstanding, collection rate
- P&L on both cash and accrual basis, per hostel, with healthy/optimize/underperforming alerts
- Collections and overdue dues, broken down by resident
- Occupancy by hostel, room, and bed
- Monthly closing — lock a month's numbers so they can't quietly shift later
- Trend charts and alerts for a hostel whose margin has started slipping
Marketing & lead capture
Turn walk-ins and referrals into admissions, and see whether tenants are actually using the app you built them.
Leads — this week
- A public, no-login referral page — anyone can refer a friend by name, phone, and the area they're interested in
- A QR code for walk-in leads, straight into your leads board
- Leads tracked by source — walk-in, Instagram, Facebook, Google, referral — from first contact to admitted
- Tenant-to-tenant referrals with an automatic ₹500 reward once their friend's first payment clears
- An app-usage dashboard: who has a login, who's opened it in the last 30 days, and who needs a nudge
A tenant-facing app, under your own brand
So your office isn't the only channel for "how much do I owe" and "can I get an outpass" — and it looks like yours, not ours.
October rent
Due in 2 days₹8,500
Pay via UPI- Pay rent in one tap — a UPI QR code generated per invoice, works with GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, or any UPI app
- A dedicated Agreement tab — always there, since the agreement is final the moment they're admitted, not something they wait days for
- See every invoice and late fee, and download receipts any time
- Raise a complaint with a photo, and track it through to resolved
- Request an outpass, or a move-out with a date that respects your hostel's notice period
- Opt out of a specific meal — straight into the kitchen's headcount, no phone call needed
- Refer a friend and earn ₹500 automatically once they're admitted and pay
- White-labeled with your hostel's own logo and name — tenants see your brand, not Bunkly's
Day-to-day operations
The parts of running a hostel that have nothing to do with money, but still need tracking.
Leaking tap — Room 204
HighRaised 2 hours ago · In progress
- Complaints queue with priority and status, not a WhatsApp thread nobody can search
- Weekly room audits that catch mismatches before they become disputes
- Maintenance: a vendor directory, money requests, and task tracking
- Food headcount tracking for your food coordinator
- Announcements to every tenant in a hostel at once
Built for how these businesses are actually structured
One hostel or six, your own staff or a property you manage for someone else.
- Multi-hostel from one login — an owner sees the whole portfolio, a manager sees their own hostel
- Support for hostels you manage on behalf of a client, including revenue-share tracking
- Each business can set its own logo, name, and color theme across the staff console and tenant portal
- Your own occupancy agreement — your logo, your wording, your welcome message — not a one-size-fits-all contract
A login for every role in your office
Six roles, each seeing only what's theirs — enforced at the database level, not just hidden in the UI. A Warden can't load a Finance page by guessing the URL.
Who sees what
| Role | Admit | Finance | Compl. |

Owner
Every hostel, the full P&L, approvals, and staff setup — the one login that sees it all.
Manager
Runs the day-to-day for their hostel(s): admissions, invoicing, collections, complaints.
Warden
A phone-first app for whoever's actually on-site: today's rent dues, vacancy, food headcount, outpasses, and complaints — no desktop needed.
Accountant
Narrowed to invoices and collections — nothing else to get lost in.
Food Coordinator
One screen for the kitchen: exactly who's eating today, by meal, built from tenants' own opt-outs.
Maintenance
Their own complaints queue, money requests, and tasks — no access to tenant or financial data they don't need.
