Definition Online Booking is a computer program for your guests to check rates and availability and to book or request their stay right away without email or phone delays.
The Internet Guest Internet Guests like and use computers. They use banking sites and other "real time" web pages. They anticipate booking or holding a room right away online.
The Issues Quokka Systems has worked with many B&Bs with 2 rooms and up. The core issues that we have addressed are:
  • Control of inventory
  • Double booking avoidance
  • Keeping personalized customer service
The Solutions
  • Take control of your inventory with the easiest management interface you can imagine. The system can take confirmed bookings or requests.
  • Avoid double bookings with the system's request handler, which holds Internet Guest's room selection until a reconfirmation is issued by the B&B. This gives you time to make sure another booking didn't beat the Internet Guest to the room. Once a room is held, it cannot be booked again until you release it. The system provides the ability to "juggle" the Internet Guest into another room or decline the request altogether.
  • Achieve personalized customer service by allowing the guest to control the booking experience. For an Internet Guest, customer service is self service - information and bookings when they want.
