Hostel onboarding guide for rooms, beds, and staff setup
This HostelCare guide explains how hostel owners can set up property structure, room types, bed mapping, and staff access before going live with daily student housing operations.
1. Create your hostel structure
Start by adding each building, floor, room category, and bed group so your hostel dashboard reflects the real property layout.
2. Configure room and bed logic
Define room type, capacity, status, maintenance rules, and availability logic to avoid manual room allocation confusion later.
3. Add staff roles
Set clear access for owners, wardens, finance staff, and support teams so each person sees the workflows relevant to their role.
4. Review before go-live
Check occupancy mapping, bed status labels, and reporting views before importing students or managing hostel fee collection.
