How does Hotel management work in Jimani?
- Answer
Hotel management is the screen where you set up everything for your rooms or cottages: opening hours, categories, types, rooms, rate plans with prices, products, fields, labels, the floor plan and time limits. You find it in the left menu under Hotel management.
- Where to find it
Menu > Hotel management (
/Hotel). The menu shows Hotel (the reservations), Hotel management and Cleaning as soon as the Hotel module is on under Add-ons.- Explanation
At the top are the Show only deleted items switch and a plus with the text What would you like to add? Below that are the tabs. Each tab loads its own list. The word for a unit follows your choice under Settings > Guests and bookings > Advanced: the tab is then called Rooms or Cottages. For a new hotel start with a category and a type, then add the rooms and fill in the prices on the Rate plans tab.
