Front office

Front desk

Arrivals, departures and walk-ins on one screen.

Check guests in and out, assign rooms and see who is in house without leaving the front desk view. Check-in, check-out and room status follow the same rules on a desktop at reception or a phone in the lobby.

How it works

The details that matter at the desk.

  1. 01

    Today at a glance

    Arrivals, departures and in-house guests for any date, with occupancy tonight and a check-in button on every arrival.

  2. 02

    Check-in that checks for you

    Check-in needs the arrival day and a ready room, assigned automatically when possible. If the property asks for it, identification is recorded first and stored encrypted.

  3. 03

    Check-out that keeps the house in step

    Checking out marks the room dirty, adds a departure clean for housekeeping and updates the guest's stay history. It is blocked while money is owed unless the property allows it.

  4. 04

    Works on a phone

    The front desk, bookings and payments all fit a phone screen, so staff can check a guest out from the lobby or the car park.

Questions

Front desk, answered.

Can two agents sell the last room at the same time?

No. Room types are locked while a booking is saved, so the second agent sees that the room is gone.

Can we let a guest leave with a balance?

Only if the property allows it in its front office settings, or the user has permission to post adjustments.

Do we have to record guest ID?

It is a setting. When it is on, check-in asks for identification first. ID numbers are encrypted and shown masked.
