FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about MessBuddy.

What is MessBuddy and how does it help?

MessBuddy is a smart mess management platform designed to automate daily meal tracking, bazaar expense splitting, member billing, and overall operations. It eliminates manual paper-based calculations and ensures 100% transparency.

How is the monthly meal rate calculated?

The meal rate is calculated automatically: Total Shared Grocery/Bazaar Expenses divided by Total Consumed Meals. The app multiplies this rate by each member's consumed meals, then adds individual custom charges (like room rent, utilities, or cook bills) to generate the final monthly bill.

Can multiple members manage the mess together?

Yes! The creator of the mess is the primary Manager. Under the settings panel, you can assign roles like 'Co-Manager' or 'Bazaar Operator' to other members, allowing them to enter daily expenses and log meals.

Can I share bills with members via WhatsApp?

Absolutely. Once the bill is generated, you can share a detailed breakdown text summary along with a downloadable PDF bill directly to members via WhatsApp or SMS with a single tap.

Is MessBuddy free to use?

Yes, the Starter plan is 100% free forever for small messes with up to 10 members. For larger hostels, PGs, or multi-branch operations, we offer Standard and Pro plans with advanced features.
