Beach bar and hotel

Sunbeds and rooms, sunbed rent, minimum spend, QR from the sunbed, charge to room, export for the reception and settling at check-out.

Needs the Beach & hotel add-on (together with Tables & floor plan).

Sunbeds and rooms (Venue & devices → Tables & spots): under Type choose Table, Sunbed or Room. With Add many you create e.g. sunbeds 1–60 in the area "Front row", with an optional prefix (A1, A2…). Then put them in place on the Floor plan. Rooms stay in a list, by number.

Rent and minimum spend (on each sunbed):

  • Sunbed rent: added once to the bill when it opens (VAT 24%). Empty = no rent.
  • Minimum spend: the till shows "Minimum spend … · … missing" and Add puts in the line "Minimum spend top-up".

Neither line goes to the kitchen. Both also work on the till without internet.

QR on the sunbed and in the room: with Online ordering and each spot's QR, guests order from where they are. At a sunbed they pay whenever they like, by asking for the bill. In a room they choose To the room (sign on delivery) and the order is charged to the room.

Charge to room on the till: at payment choose Charge to room. A room's bill goes to that room; for a sunbed or table pick the room and, if you like, the guest's name.

Who pays (with the Hotel PMS link add-on): at payment you see the guests staying in the room, with their departure ("until 14/11") and what is Left of their limit. From a sunbed or table type a name or room number in Name or room. Tap the guest: their room comes with them. Guests who may not charge show No charges and can't be tapped. The till refuses the charge if the guest has left, if it goes over their limit, or if the store asks for a guest and you picked none. See In-house guests and A room charge did not reach the PMS.

Reception (Hotel → Room charges): every charge per room, with date, order, guest and amount. At check-out press Settled at reception on a charge, or select several at once. Filters show the unsettled ones, one room, dates or the exported ones.

Export for the reception or the PMS: press Export, pick the dates, By day, room or guest, one or all rooms and Print or CSV (Excel). With Only those not exported yet you get only the new ones. The CSV has date, time, room, room code at the PMS, guest, folio, order, items, amount, receipt and PMS status, with a total per group. Or select charges in the list and press CSV (mark as exported) or Print (mark as exported). The export also works without the Hotel PMS link add-on: that way the reception keys the charges into any PMS.

Season: if you open a few months a year, the subscription can be per season, with no charge off season. See Subscription and payment.
