There are three ways to make a booking. All three open to same NEW BOOKING window.  For step-by-step instructions, go to the online manual at New Booking

  1. Booking By Inquiry  
  2. Booking By Availability
  3. Tape Chart

To add a new Booking follow these steps:

  • First, go the BOOKING TAB in the Front Desk. Choose your preferred booking method.
  • Choose from the date, rate plan, room or room type and you will see the NEW BOOKING button.(The same booking window opens for all three options.)
  • Click the NEW BOOKING button and it will open in a new browser window.
  • Complete the booking by first choosing the Rate Plan and Room and then entering Guest Information. This information will appear in the Booking Tab of the Booking once it is completed. (A Room must be assigned to see the booking on on the Tape Chart.)
