Here are the key features commonly found in a hotel PMS:

2. Front Desk Operations: Facilitates the check-in and check-out process, manages guest arrivals and departures, handles room upgrades and changes, and processes payments.

3. Room Inventory Management: Tracks room availability, rates, and restrictions across various distribution channels, ensuring accurate inventory management and maximizing occupancy.

4. Housekeeping Management: Assigns and tracks housekeeping tasks, manages room cleaning schedules, monitors room status (clean, dirty, inspected), and tracks maintenance requests.

5. Rate and Revenue Management: Sets and manages room rates dynamically based on demand, seasonality, and market conditions, optimizing revenue and occupancy rates.

6. Channel Management: Integrates with online travel agencies (OTAs), global distribution systems (GDS), and direct booking channels to manage room inventory and rates across multiple distribution channels.

7. Point of Sale (POS) Integration: Integrates with POS systems for managing onsite services such as restaurants, bars, spa, and retail outlets, allowing guests to charge expenses to their rooms.

8. Billing and Invoicing: Generates invoices for room charges, additional services, and other guest expenses, integrates with payment gateways for secure transactions, and handles billing disputes.

9. Reporting and Analytics: Provides reports on key performance indicators (KPIs) such as occupancy rates, revenue per available room (RevPAR), average daily rate (ADR), and guest satisfaction scores, enabling data-driven decision-making.

10. Guest Relationship Management (CRM): Stores guest profiles, preferences, and communication history, enabling personalized guest interactions, loyalty programs, and targeted marketing campaigns.

11. Mobile Accessibility: Offers mobile apps for guests to make reservations, check-in/out, access hotel services, and communicate with staff, enhancing the guest experience and convenience.
