The calendar and the rate sheet live where the requests do.
Seasonal rates, free rooms and incoming bookings open from the same dashboard you answer guests from. Your staff uses it, and you switch it on only if you have no property management system already.
What you open in the morning
The first three screens you touch when the season turns. The rest you look at every day.
The calendar
Who is in and who is arriving, room by room, across a whole month.
The rates
You write the price of a period once and it holds for every date that falls inside it. Low season, high season, bank holidays, and that odd week in September when the trade fair is in town: each with its own price, and none of them copied out day by day across twelve months of boxes.
The restrictions
Minimum nights, closed arrivals and departures, periods shut.
The bookings
They land in a list, already written out.
Who can touch what
The roles you have already set still hold: the front desk sees the day's arrivals, the prices stay with whoever decides them.
One season, written once.
You write the price of a period and it holds for every date inside it. What is left are the exceptions, and those you write separately: a bank holiday, a two night minimum, a month when you are shut.
| Period | Per night | Minimum | On sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low season | €78 | 1 night | Included |
| Spring bank holidays | €140 | 3 nights | Included |
| High season | €165 | 2 nights | Included |
| November | €78 | 1 night | Not included |
The figures are an example. The rate sheet is yours to write, and you can change it mid season.
Who needs this, and who does not
The module switches on when it is worth it. For some properties it takes work away, for others it would double it.
If you have a property management system
Keep it. The module stays off and ConSergio carries on doing what it did: the conversation with the guest and the requests that come out of it. Nothing to migrate, nothing to connect.
If you have none
Rooms and what they cost can live here, next to the requests. It is the case of anyone with a handful of rooms who never bought a real system, because it cost more than it returned.
Before you switch it on
Can the guest book a room from the chat?
No. The module lives in the dashboard and it is your staff's work. The guest carries on doing what they did: asking questions and booking the services of the stay, from the spa to the transfer.
Can I use ConSergio instead of a property management system?
If you have none, yes: rooms, rates and bookings live here, next to the requests. If you have one and it suits you, keep it and leave the module off: the rest of ConSergio works as before.
Could I end up taking two bookings for the same room?
There is one availability and it lives in one place: when a room fills, it shows as taken to anyone looking at the dashboard. That is the work the module exists for, and it is also why rooms should not be kept on a spreadsheet on the side as well.
Want to work out whether you need it?
Tell us how many rooms you have and where you sell them now. If the module will not change your day we will say so, and ConSergio stays what it was.
