Walk-in and reservation
processes lead clerks through a series of screens to collect information
and assign rooms and rates. Each screen is designed to expertly
manage a specific task ("form follows function") in the order in
which that task must be done. There is no "one screen does
everything" design to learn and remember. Clerks love it, and
so will you when you see your training costs go down. Just think,
you won't need to hire a college graduate to run it!
A
built in training mode mirrors your property, so new employees can
"LEARN" (that's what its called!) without affecting your
business or running up your training costs! Clerks and managers alike
can practice any front desk or
accounting procedure with a mirror image of the current state of your property. LEARN allows your new clerks to receive instruction from experienced clerks during
slow times with no disruption to your business and no danger to your data.
Create single reservations for
up to four rooms. If that isn't enough, create group reservations
for as many rooms as you have available!
Create walk-ins for as many as
four rooms on a single bill.
Split bills into as many as
nine separate, independent folios (four people, each with a company and a
personal folio?). Move from one folio to another by clicking a tab
on the screen! Move a charge between folios by simply dragging it
with the mouse!
Recall each and every guest that has stayed with
you, and automatically retrieve guest history information when registering a walk-in or making a reservation!
Use personalized
confirmation form letters that automatically merge guest information
directly from reservations! Use the LodgeWright word processor or any
compatible rich text editor to create letters with graphics and Windows
font styles for a truly professional presentation.
Accept reservations years in advance
and automatically track associated deposit money in escrow,
outside of your income accounting!
Handle direct bill accounts in-house!
Shift audits allow each shift to balance. A shift
audit takes a few seconds to generate!
Comprehensive night audits take only a few minutes
to run. Printing them is the slowest part.
Audits may be run as "trial" audits to
let clerks find and fix discrepancies before closing.
Easily generate comprehensive accounting reports
for the month and year, including a net profit and loss statement for the year which includes appreciation and
depreciation of assets.
Use the time clock functions for employee check-in
and check-out, and automatically prepare Payroll! Payroll gives you monthly, quarterly, and
yearly reports as well as W2's!
Send personalized promotional letters tailored
to your guest preferences and seasonal events to maximize repeat business! Create and manage multiple mail lists
from your guest history, leads list, or other sources; then print mailing labels and letters for them directly
from LodgeWright!
Create (and sell!) whole vacations for guests by
making appointments that attach directly to a reservation or room with all accounting handled automatically!
Attelsys (extra cost option) posts telephone charges automatically to folios
without clerk intervention!
LodgeWright is a
sophisticated program that can be customized in many ways to fit
almost every operating whim. We have incorporated a variety of sophisticated checks and balances
to allow virtually automatic handling of complex room accounting and reservation transactions by ordinary people.
We have designed our screens to be simple, giving needed information in a clear, logical, and consistent style
that clerks and managers alike will quickly become accustomed to.
LodgeWright operates on a multi-year
reservation calendar based on the calendar year. All room assignments, whether
for reservations or for walk in guests, must be made through the reservation calendar. Rooms and dates for reservations
and current guests are tracked in a reservation calendar database which records room occupancy for a
multiple year period. The default length of the reservation calendar is
three years. Overbooking is not allowed, but dummy rooms can be set up for that
purpose.
LodgeWright allows you to choose between the two most common methods for room rent posting.
LodgeWright allows you to set up three separate rates for each of up to 250 rate codes for each day of the
calendar plus
options for custom rates,
package rates, and manual rate overrides. WHEW! THAT'S A LOT OF
RATE FLEXIBILITY!
LodgeWright's Accounting Structure is one of the most flexible,
accessible ,and USEFUL in the business. Reports are generated
automatically, but when you really need to go in and fix something, a password
protected Manager's Utilities section give you
access to every number.
