What can you set up under Time limitation in Hotel management?
- Answer
With a Time limitation you block check-in, check-out or both on fixed days, for certain types or individual rooms. This way you can, for example, close a room for maintenance or let nobody arrive on public holidays.
- Where to find it
Menu > Hotel management > Time limitation (
/Hotel).- Explanation
Days on which guests cannot arrive or depart. The list shows per restriction the Name, the Date (with more than one date it says More than one date has been selected), whether Block check-in and Block check-out are set to Yes and whether the restriction is Active. With the plus you create a restriction in three steps: first the name and what is blocked, then for which types or rooms, then the dates. In the last step choose individual days, weeks or months by clicking them. If Block check-in and Block check-out are both set to Yes, the room is closed on those nights and nobody can book it, not even at the front desk. If only one of the two is Yes, the restriction applies to online booking and not to Create reservation at the front desk.
