Reservation calendar & Dashboard

Now, all enquiry on hold bookings will be visible in the reservation calendar, making it easy for front desk staff to view all bookings on a single page and make decisions based on room availability.

We’ve added a new Room Clean option to the reservation calendar, located next to each room number. This makes it easy for front desk staff to see the status of each room and take immediate action to clean it directly from the calendar grid, without having to navigate to the housekeeping page. With this new feature, you can ensure that all rooms are clean and ready for guests, providing a better overall experience for your customers.

We’ve upgraded our “Do Not Rent” feature, which now includes functionality based on mobile numbers as well. This means that if a customer has been blacklisted and their details are saved in the customer information page, including their mobile number and email ID, the Stayflexi system will identify them the next time they attempt to make a booking. Even if the customer provides a different email ID, as long as the mobile number matches, the system will flag them as blacklisted and suggest to the hotelier that they should not be rented to. This new feature ensures that you can maintain a safe and secure environment for your guests, while also streamlining your operations.

Reports

The Flash manager now has a new report that shows both detailed and summary views of payments received by the hotel. This report can be filtered to show payments received for a specific day, month to date, or year to date. You can even download the report as a PDF and print it out if you need a hard copy. The report will be sent to your email for easy access.

We’ve enhanced “Shift Report,” which provides a detailed breakdown of payment information for each shift. With this feature, you can see how much payment was collected during a particular shift and the breakdown of that payment by type, such as cash, card, or UPI. This information is especially useful for managing staff and tracking payment collection. With the Shift Report, you’ll have a clear understanding of how your business is performing on a shift-by-shift basis.

We’ve added several new reports to our Report Scheduler, including Sales Report, Inventory Report, Flash Manager, Master Report, Bar Pricing Report, and Inventory Forecast Report. Additionally, our reports can now be scheduled to be sent via email on a weekly basis. These reports provide valuable insights into your business’s sales, inventory, and overall performance, and make it easy to keep track of your operations on a regular basis. With our new and improved Report Scheduler, you’ll have the information you need to make informed decisions and drive your business forward.

Booking Engine

We’ve made improvements to the booking engine to make it easier for guests to understand restrictions set by hotels. If a hotel has implemented a Minimum Length of Stay (MLOS) restriction, the booking engine will now clearly display to guests how many nights they need to select to book a particular room. This way, guests won’t be confused and can easily complete their booking.

Shops

  • When a guest adds multiple shop bills to their room folio, Stayflexi will now combine them and show a summary view with the total amount. By clicking on the summary, the front desk staff can see a detailed list of each shop bill with dates, items, and other important information. This makes it easier for staff to calculate and collect payments from the guest.
  • You can now settle multiple shop bills from a guest’s room folio all at once. This feature will save time and effort for the front desk staff as they can select and settle multiple shop bills with one click, and the respective shops will receive their payments accordingly.

Miscellaneous

  • We’ve updated the room revenue, tax report, and cash counter-report to include the room number associated with each transaction. This makes it easy for the hotel owner and manager to identify which room number was involved in each operation, providing more clarity in understanding the data. This information will help you quickly identify and resolve any issues that arise
  • We’ve improved the group booking process to give you a faster and smoother experience when booking multiple rooms across different room categories. With these optimizations, you’ll be able to quickly and easily make your bookings in bulk, ensuring a hassle-free experience. So go ahead and book your group stay with confidence!
  • We’ve added two new columns, TCS & TDS, to the Channel Manager report. This feature is particularly important for certain countries, as it provides an exact breakdown of the payment they will receive from online travel portal companies. With these columns, you can easily see the tax collected at source (TCS) and tax deducted at source (TDS), allowing for more accurate financial reporting and compliance with local regulations. This new feature ensures that you have all the information you need to make informed financial decisions for your business.
  • We’ve added a new BAR Pricing report to the report scheduler. This report provides valuable insights into your pricing strategy and revenue management, allowing you to make informed decisions for your business. The report will now be available via email, with an Excel attachment for easy access and analysis. With this new feature, you can stay on top of your pricing strategy and ensure that you are maximizing your revenue potential.
  • We’ve renamed the “Bill to CTA” feature to “Direct Billing” throughout the PMS. This change has been made to avoid confusion and ensure consistency across the system. With this update, you can easily identify and use the “Direct Billing” feature wherever it is needed in the PMS. This makes the billing process more streamlined and straightforward, ensuring a hassle-free experience for you and your customers.
  • Stayflexi now supports integration with Dwarpal, a modern SaaS-based door lock system. With Dwarpal, hotel can lock and unlock doors using numerical passwords. The system is also wifi-enabled, making it possible for hoteliers to manage their door locks from a different city. This integration is the future of door locks and is now supported by Stayflexi software.
