Room check in

  • Our Modern Rooming Calendar is here!

    Hooray! Our new responsive calendar is here!

    The Classic Rooming Calendar is being phased out soon. Tutorials will be replaced with our new, responsive Modern Rooming Calendar, already available in ver 7.30. For more information on the Modern Calendar visit our web page or contact our support team and we will give you a grand tour!

    N.B The Classic Rooming calendar will be deprecated by January 2021.

Room check in

Room check-in is done when the guest arrives at the lodge. The check-in functionality is only available on a Property environment, see the Working with different Environments and ResRequest Architecture tutorials to understand what this means if you are not familiar with this concept. It is important to understand the advantages of using the check-in functionality, how a single check-in is processed and how to do bulk check-ins. You will be working off the Rooming calendar, where all check-ins are processed.

Why check in your guests?

  • If you have interfaces to POS or Telephone management systems, the costs can only be charged to Reservations that have been checked in.
  • It enables you to report on the expected, planned and actual arrivals (Room discrepancy report) which shows if someone hasn’t arrived.
  • Only rooms that have been checked in may be checked out and checking out highlights whether there are outstanding folios on the Reservation. This enables you to settle any debts before your guest leaves.

Check in guests

Bookings need to have Confirmed status, be arriving on a future date and be allocated to a room before you can check them in. Once roomed, follow these easy steps to check in guests.

  • Select the relevant booking from the calendar (it will highlight in green).
  • Select the ‘Check in’ button (this button will not be available for reservations that are not roomed / already checked in / arriving on a future date.)
  • A pop-up will appear to inform you that the room has been checked in. Click on ‘OK’.

  • When selecting the same reservation (green selection), you will see that only the check out option is now available.
  • From the Rooming tab on a reservation, the room will reflect as checked in.

Bulk check-in

You can perform check ins for multiple rooms simultaneously.

  • Ensure that no reservations are selected and then click on the ‘Check in’ button.
  • The system will display a list of rooms that are eligible for the action. Select the required rooms by clicking on the check boxes. Click on ‘Ok’.
  • A pop-up will appear confirming which reservations have been checked in. Click on ‘Ok’.
Bulk check in

Once your bookings are checked in, you will need to record guest details on the bookings and when the time comes for them to leave, you will need to check them out. Please continue with our tutorials to learn how to perform these functions.

See our Mail merge guide which shows how to pre-populate guest registration/indemnity forms for your guest to check and sign on arrival.
