Features

Everything the hotel does in a day

Rooms and rates

Room types with capacity, amenities and photos. Rooms by floor with clean, dirty, inspected or out-of-order status. Rack, B&B, half and full board, corporate and seasonal rates, resident and non-resident prices, in RWF or USD.

Reservations and tape chart

Search availability, book single rooms or groups, take deposits and guarantees. The tape chart shows rooms by day; drag a booking to move it. Double bookings are refused by the database itself.

Front desk

Arrivals, departures and in-house lists. Check-in with ID or passport, nationality, purpose of visit and vehicle. Room moves, early arrival and late check-out.

Folios and city ledger

Room charges posted every night, extras from the restaurant, bar, laundry and tours. Split a bill, send the room to a company account, invoice it and track what is still owed.

Restaurant and bar POS

Menu, tables, orders sent to a kitchen ticket screen, bills paid at the table or charged to a room. Discounts and voids need a reason and, above the limit, a manager's approval.

Housekeeping

Room status board, a daily task list per attendant, mark rooms clean or inspected, maintenance and out-of-order blocks, and a lost and found log.

Night audit

One button posts the night's room charges, turns no-shows into no-shows, rolls the business date and prints the daily report pack.

Guests and register

Guest profiles with stay history, preferences, VIP and blacklist flags. A guest register report with name, nationality, ID or passport and dates, ready for the authorities.

Reports in CSV and PDF

Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, revenue by department, source and rate plan, forecast, city ledger aging, cash-up by user, POS sales and stock alerts.

Check-out

The room to the company, the extras to the guest

Corporate guests often pay their own dinner and drinks. Split the folio at check-out: the room goes to the company account on the city ledger and is invoiced, the extras are paid by MoMo on the spot.

Made for Rwanda first

  • RWF by default, USD rates with an exchange rate you set
  • Resident and non-resident prices on every rate plan
  • MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, card, bank and cash payments
  • Guest register with nationality, ID or passport, for the authorities
  • VAT and tourism levy as tax lines you configure

Control and safety

  • Five roles, each limited to what it needs
  • Discount limits per role; voids need a reason and approval
  • Nothing financial is deleted: mistakes are reversed and kept
  • Audit log of every sign-in, charge, payment and room move
  • Passwords stored as bcrypt hashes; sign-in attempts are rate-limited

FAQ

Questions hotels ask us

Can guests pay online on the booking page?

Not yet. Your booking page sends a request with dates, room type and contact details. The front desk confirms it and takes the deposit by MoMo, card or bank as usual.

Does it connect to Booking.com or Expedia?

No. There is no channel manager yet. Bookings from those sites are entered by the front desk with the site as the source, so reports still show where guests come from.

Does it send payments through MoMo automatically?

No. Guests pay by MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, card, bank or cash as they do today, and you record the payment with its reference.

Does it print EBM receipts?

No. The app prints its own receipts and invoices with your TIN. It is not connected to the RRA EBM system.

Can it run a restaurant on its own?

Yes. The POS works for walk-in customers too: pay at the table, or charge to a room when the customer is a guest.

Where is our data hosted?

Each hotel gets its own private instance with its own PostgreSQL database. Today we run instances on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the US East region. Ask us if you need another location.

How long does setup take?

It depends on the number of rooms, rate plans and outlets. We agree a date with you after a first call and load your rooms, rates and menu with you.
