Hotel Module Feature

Overview

---

The hotel module refers to a “Cattery”, “Kennel”, or “Equine Paddock” boarding system where animals are booked for a period of time similar to a hotel, except with many additional features for the purpose.

 

Highly Configurable

---

Users can define several options to change the look and feel as well as some rule sets for a fully configurable set up. Some options are as follows:

• Set Opening and Closing Times
• Set Checkout Time (for billing)
• Set option for half day pickups
• Multi-Branch option to allow view/booking of another branch’s rooms
• Create Categories/Groups of Rooms
• Create options for Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large Animals for Rates

Forms & Info

A number of forms can be configured using the in-built word-processor with full mail-merged variables. A right mouse click on the booking can produce a personalised document, from consent forms to new client forms. Notes can also be entered against the booking to indicate special instructions such as treatment and dietary requirements.

• Multiple User defined forms for printing
• Special Notes for Instructions
