We have improved our room closures in order for you to add more detailed information about why the room is closed on the Inn Style property management system software.

Incorporating detailed closure instructions into your business operations can lead to increased efficiency, better organisation, and improved overall performance. It is a feature that allows for a smoother process on your property management system software, and indicates closures more visibly for your staff when taking bookings over the phone or by email.

Sometimes you might need to close off multiple days and multiple rooms at your accommodation. For example, you might want to close all your rooms over a certain period of an event such as a wedding, or perhaps your property only opens in the summer, but closes during the winter.

Now you can select multiple rooms and large date ranges, and close them all off in one go on your property management system software!

You can also use this feature to remove these detailed closures and re-open the closed rooms.

You are now able to select the below reasons for your closure:

Below are some of the benefits of using detailed closures on the Inn Style property management system software:

1. Improved Efficiency: When you make use of the detailed closure feature on your property management system software, it helps your staff and team members understand what is happening on a particular day, whether it be an event or a special guest. This clarity can lead to increased efficiency as they won’t waste time guessing what needs to be done.
2. Consistency: Detailed closures ensure that particular tasks (clean rooms for example) are completed in a consistent manner. This is particularly important as consistency helps maintain quality standards and prevents errors from happening.
3. Knowledge Transfer: Detailed closures serve as a valuable knowledge transfer tool. When employees leave or change shifts, their replacements can follow the closure indicated on the dashboard to continue tasks seamlessly. This prevents knowledge gaps and reduces disruptions.
4. Weddings: Wanting to close out dates for a wedding whilst the bride and groom confirm which guests are staying in which rooms? You are able to block off the rooms so these rooms aren’t double booked.
5. Scalability: As your business grows, the need for detailed closures on your property management system software becomes more apparent. A visible and straightforward closure feature ensures that your operations can scale smoothly without sacrificing quality or consistency.
6. Housekeeping: If you are making use of an external provider for your housekeeping services, they can have access to your account on a restricted account so they can see the rooms that need to be cleaned without you having to attend to any admin for this process.
