This module allows you to accept commission free bookings directly from your website in real-time and works just as well for a small hotel as it does for an international hotel chain.
How it works
Reservations go directly into the PMS.
Reservations are made free from any com mission charges
Rooms are not allocated specifically to your hotel’s website – the website shares the same inventory as your traditional reservations.
Deposits, if required, are charged to the guest’s credit card immediately.
End users, travel agents and booking agents can log on to your website and enter reservations directly into your PMS
Automatically check and charge deposits on credit cards without any hotel staff intervention.
You control how many rooms are available through your website, all without losing rooms from your general availability!
Benefits
It eliminates all manual staff intervention until the guest arrives at your door.
You will no longer need to confirm a booking, manually bill a deposit or ever hand-key in a reservation from an e-mail message again.
Your guest can make their entire reservation online and their deposit can be processed quickly and completely from start to finish.
Travel and booking agents will also be able to book their own reservations and utilise special rate codes.
Best of all, there are no commissions for reservations booked through your website nor are there any monthly charges, yearly charges, support and maintenance charges or room setup fees. The bottom line, you pay one price for an unlimited number of reservations that come through your website with zero on-going cost.
Increase Revenue
With the unique Advanced Features you can generate more revenue for your business and set yourself apart from many other booking engines. Imagine a future guest has finished booking their room and is excited about staying at your hotel. Wouldn’t you like to offer them more? With our Shopping Cart feature you can do this. After a guest completes their reservation, you can offer them whatever you want:
• Amenities such as flowers and chocolates
• Dinner and theatre package
• Spa services
• Tours and excursions
• Anything!
You can charge whatever deposit you desire to guarantee these amenities, and you can also configure the Shopping Cart to prompt your guest to pick a day for the service and even a quantity! The items and deposit will be automatically added to the guest’s reservation on the PMS, and the reservation will be flagged for attention.
Mobiles
When you use the online booking solution as your booking engine, potential guests accessing your website with a cell phone, iPhone, or any smartphone/PDA will see a version that has been automatically adapted to the small screen. No configuration or special link is required to work with a mobile device. Guests will see your rooms, rates, and room pictures. They can book their reservation and receive the confirmation… all from their mobile device.
