Front Desk Check-In and Check-Out for Hotels

The counter screen carries the day’s arrivals and departures with the few steps each one needs. A stay opens at check-in and closes when the folio is settled.

Checking a guest in

Every arrival takes the same short path. Five steps, no hunting through paper.

Match the arrival

The reservation is picked off the arrivals list, and the dates, category, plan and advance are already sitting on it. Nothing is asked twice.

Record the ID proof

ID type, number and a scan or photo attach to the stay, with address and contact details beside them.

Allot the room

A clean room of the booked category is offered. Rooms still being made up are shown, so no key goes out too early.

Open the folio

Room charge and meal plan begin posting from that night, and the advance already taken sits on the same folio.

Walk-in arrivals

A guest with no booking is entered on the same screen, priced from the plans valid for those nights. The steps after that are identical.

During the stay

The counter stretches a stay, shifts a guest between rooms, adds a second occupant or raises a complaint for maintenance. A charge raised at the restaurant or laundry reaches the folio without a paper chit travelling across the property. The in-house list shows who is in which room tonight, and that is what the night shift reads at handover.

Checking out

Departure is the moment when the money and the room both have to be right. A guest at the counter with a taxi waiting will not wait while a chit is hunted for.

Total the folio

Room nights, meal plan, extra beds and counter charges are added, and the advance is set off against the total.

Settle the balance

Cash, card, UPI or an agent account. A part settlement leaves the rest on that account rather than on the room.

Release the room

The room turns dirty for housekeeping, and the chart frees it for the next arrival once cleaning is marked done.

Early and late movement

An early arrival or a late departure is recorded. Whether it carries a charge follows your own rule.

What this screen does not do

  • Change a rate plan or a season amount
  • Mark a room clean, which only housekeeping records
  • Edit a settled folio without an approved correction entry
  • Open a door lock unless a key card system is connected
  • Set refund terms, which the owner decides
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a walk-in be checked in without a reservation?

Yes. The stay is created at the counter, and the amount comes from the plans valid for those nights. Clean rooms are listed first.

Is check-in blocked when the ID proof is missing?

That is settled with the owner. Some properties stop the stay until an ID is attached, others allow a note and a reminder.

How is a room shift during a stay recorded?

The stay moves to the new room from the date of the shift, and the folio continues as one bill.

Does the night shift see what the day shift did?

Yes. Arrivals, shifts, postings and complaints stay on the record for whoever is on duty.
