Our Story


Hotelsoft Inc. is a San Francisco Bay Area based company offering innovative software solutions and services to independent and chain scale hotels.

Abhishek, an ever enterprising entrepreneur having experienced similar issues in the healthcare industry decided to jump in. And Hotelsoft was born.
