A lot of accommodation operators aren't "just" a hotel. They run a hotel and a PG or hostel down the road, with an in-house restaurant feeding both. The usual setup is three different systems that don't talk — a PMS, a rent-tracking spreadsheet, and a standalone POS. Here's what changes when all three run on one.

Quick answer (for the impatient)

• Mixed accommodation (hotel + PG/hostel + F&B) usually means separate tools and separate books.
• AXOIX runs them on one account — nightly hotel rooms, bed-level monthly PG billing, and F&B that posts to the room folio.
• Each property keeps its own type and GST/HSN, with company-wide reporting across all of them.

The mixed-operator problem

A hotel bills per night. A PG bills per bed, per month, with a security deposit and a notice period. A restaurant bills per order. Run them on tools built for only one of those and you end up reconciling three sets of numbers by hand — and you still can't see the whole business in one place.

Bed-level PG/hostel — a real module, not a hotel hack

AXOIX has a dedicated paying-guest module built for how co-living actually works:

• Bed-level allocation with a monthly rate — not just room-level.
• Monthly billing, security-deposit tracking and notice-period handling.
• Meal plans, attendance (night-in), and a visitor log — plus guardian details for girls' PGs.

That's the difference between software that tolerates a hostel and software built for one.

F&B that posts to the folio, and one shared back office

• In-house F&B POS posts orders straight to the guest folio, so room nights and meals settle together at checkout.
• One back office — HR/payroll, accounting and GST — runs across the hotel, the PG and the F&B, in the same system.
• Mixed property types (hotel, resort, hostel, villa, apartment, guesthouse) each carry their own GST registration and HSN code, so billing stays correct per property.

This is the moat the audit calls out: it's an ERP for an accommodation group, not a front-desk app — the data-model breadth is what a single-purpose PMS can't match.

Where AXOIX is honest about its limits

• "Homestay" isn't a separate label — use the villa/apartment/guesthouse property types, which work today with per-property HSN.
• Banquet/event management isn't a full module yet — banquet exists as a space category, not a full event-booking/quote workflow.
• OTA-heavy properties: keep your channel manager — live OTA sync is on the roadmap.

FAQ

Can one account run both a hotel and a PG/hostel?
Yes — nightly hotel rooms and bed-level monthly PG billing run side by side, with company-wide reporting.

Does the PG module do monthly rent and deposits?
Yes — bed-level monthly billing, security-deposit tracking, notice period, meal plans, attendance and a visitor log.

How does in-house restaurant billing work?
F&B POS posts orders to the guest's room folio; they settle together at checkout, on one GST invoice.

The bottom line

If you run more than one kind of accommodation, your software shouldn't force you into three. A hotel, a PG/hostel and an in-house restaurant are one business — and one system that bills nights, beds and orders, on one set of books, is what actually runs it. That breadth is exactly where a single-purpose PMS stops and a business OS begins.
