Overview

"Penth house holiday resort" is near in Bolgoda Lake. It has 20 rooms. Lots of tourists are coming to visit there. But they don't have proper system to handle room reservation activities and customer details. In present

Room managers and receptionists are maintain a book for manage their information. Using a book for maintenance and reservation activities, they have faced many problems. Therefore I propose a software for

Solve these reservation problems. It can manage hotel's rooms properly. Using this Software, receptionists can find the reserved rooms and can find the details about customers who stayed in this hotel before. Basically this Software is very important to staff members like Receptionists and room managers.

Hotel Software is an in-house Windows based application used by businesses to automate their day-to-day operations such as room bookings, reservations, checking or checkout. Hotel reservation software is developed for suitable works of the following types of accommodation like Hotels, Motels and Guesthouses, University accommodation letting, Cottages, Villas, Cabins, Hostels or Any other room booking which is to be managed on a day-to-day basis. As stated in 'Harvard style' (2003), (http://www.hotelsoftwarepro.com)

Background

In present Penth house holiday resort staff use a book for enter customer details and records. They must keep mounds of papers and books, and delay due to enter the customer details Therefore they have to waste their time and cost. Also they haven't good secured about customer details. In this globalize word many hotels used room reservation systems. Using systems many hotels can faced competitive of hotel industry.

Many types of businesses in the hotel reservations industry that uses software to make their service quality to be better: hotels, guest houses, motels, restaurants, bed and breakfast, camping, lodging, and others. Why does not the manual way, like using a book and pencil to keep records such as reservations and do a pretty good job of it all? If you want to avoid many mistakes and accidents such as the manual method, should not be used. Use high-quality software that will help all of your recording. If using software hotel booking system, you have a direct means to access all your notes with your finger. Everything is kept updated automatically, and can even be very easily printed on the spot.

How many times have you suffered from this faux pas you have to refuse a client for the previous reservation was made, but then you come to find that customers are expected to be shown and worse yet, after looking into things further, you find that the reservation was not even guaranteed. This is a prime example of what can be avoided when using the software hotel reservation system. Another great feature is the fully customizable, and most of the hotel reservation system software package can be configured to display and print in most any language. The fact is, that the way software hotel booking system automatically keep them updated, and provides quick access to any and all files and records on the spot, making a very sound investment for the industry, and is working hard for all of our reservation and notes the need reservations today.
