Creating a new booking requires a balance between speed and functionality. You might not want to spend too much time entering information, but it is also important to have the essential details in the booking before confirming it.
Every hotel has different requirements, so you can tailor the booking process to suit your team’s workflow. Decide which information should be mandatory and which details can be added later. This helps staff create bookings quickly while ensuring that the most important information is always captured from the start.
