Software
The director of the hotel where I worked a few years ago he used to say that one can undertake anything without a good organization.
Unfortunately when we took over the hotel, we have not been provided hotel management software to simplify decision-booking and related data. Inevitably errors occurred during the first year of activity, which cost us a big thousand euros. The reservation system was used to fill customer records for each booking, then to stick post-its with the names of clients in a binder consisting of 365 pages. It is clear that the booking system was only one source of error, so last August, I decided to search different hotel software on the market, and select one.
So I started my research based on two criteria: the budget, and simplicity. The budget for one simple reason, I'm only fifteen rooms and does not generate enough sales to be able to make a big investment in software. Simplicity, because my colleague is not very good with computers and would have great difficulty adapting to a program like Fidelio.
After a week of intensive research and two from another interview with Fidelio, I found on Internet a free license software called Family Hotel, so I downloaded and installed. This software offers thirty-day trial, these past thirty days, it is necessary to register for free to developers who programmed. This software was perfect for me, after four days of setup, I was able to do everything I needed: booking, check in, check out, billing, a small part of accounting, and other useful things like generation state rooms for the maids in the morning. The logo is on the right, and here is the address of the official website: http://www.familyhotel.fr/
I encourage any hotel wishing to move from an organization on paper to computer to throw a look at this software, the only bill I had to pay was that of "customer service", a possibility ded seek advice from the creator of this fantastic software at any time for only 150 € HT per year, in short a golden opportunity.
Since installing this software, booking errors have really diminished, and it is now possible to have an overview of the entire schedule without spending hours. Brief saving money and time no doubt.
For those who like to spend on computer, I would still give a little advice, it must be very careful when making the transition, not to confuse some reservations, some of doubling, or in forget the other.
If you have any questions regarding this particular software or simply on the theme of transition, I am available, just leave a comment. A bientot
