Required guest details before check-in
Choose which details are required, like nationality or passport number, or add your own fields. If anything is missing, the check-in window asks for it on the spot.
Find any booking in seconds
Press ⌘K or Ctrl+K, or click search, and find a booking by guest name, booking number, phone, or email.
Keep several bookings at hand
Minimize a booking to a tab in the top bar and come back to it later, so a queue at reception never means losing your place.
Minimum stay for weekends and festivals
Set minimum or maximum stays, close arrivals on chosen dates, or close a rate entirely, like two nights minimum over a festival weekend.
Seasonal and non-refundable rates
Give high season and holidays their own prices, and offer standard, non-refundable, or breakfast-included rates, each with its own cancellation policy.
Tags reception can't miss
Tag a booking as returning guest, birthday, or VIP, and it shows up in the check-in and check-out window next to notes and balance.
See which extras actually sell
Breakfasts, tours, towels, and lockers broken down by item and category, so you know what is worth keeping on the menu.
Dorms vs. private rooms
Occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR per room type, with dorms counted per bed and privates per room, so you can compare them fairly.
Cancellations and no-shows
See how many bookings were called off or never turned up, where they came from, and how much revenue went unsold.
Who still owes you
Paid, part-paid, and unpaid stays in one list, with rooms, extras, and taxes split out, so no balance slips through at checkout.
