1 RESERVATIONS Chapter 4

2 What is a reservation? It is a booking in advance for a space for a specified period of time Hotel ballroom, restaurant booking, airline seat, a theatre seat, a hotel guestroom, a doctor s appointment 2

3 Introduction From a guest s point of view, the most important outcome of the reservations process is having a guestroom ready and waiting when the guest arrives To achieve these outcomes, the hotel must have efficient reservation procedures in place 3

4 Reservation Activities Conduct reservation inquiry Determine room and rate availability Create reservation record Confirm reservation record Maintain reservation record Produce reservation reports Research, plan, and monitor reservations 4

5 Guaranteed Reservation Insures that the hotel will hold a room for the guest until a specific time of guest s scheduled arrival date The guest must provide a method of payment. If the hotel then fails to provide the room for a guaranteed reservation, legal penalties can be applied if the guest files a complaint If the guest does not show up or cancel properly, the guest will be charged for one night accommodation 5

6 Guaranteed Reservations (continued) The reservation can be guaranteed by Prepayment Credit card Advance deposit Travel agent voucher/miscellaneous charge Order (MCO) Corporate (direct billing account) 6

7 Non-Guaranteed Reservation Insures that the hotel agrees to hold a room for the guest until a stated reservation cancellation hour (Usually 6 p.m.) on the day of arrival It is common for hotels planning on full occupancy or nearing full occupancy to accept only guaranteed reservation once a specified number of expected arrivals is achieved 7

8 Reservation Inquiry Guests can communicate their reservation inquiries In person Over the telephone Via mail Through facsimile By Through a website 8

9 Reservation Inquiry (continued) The reservation staff should obtain the following guest-related information: Guest s name, address and telephone number Company or travel agency name Date of arrival and departure Type and number of rooms requested Desired room rate Number of people in the group, if applicable Method of payment and/or guarantee Any other special requests 9

10 The Seven Steps Reservation Sales Process Greet the caller Identify caller s need Provide an overview of the hotel s features Make a room recommendation and room rate Ask for the sales Create a reservation record according to the hotel procedures Thank the caller 10

11 Reservation Sales Process The reservation function is a sales process, if the reservation staff is unenthusiastic, the caller will not a have a positive impression of the hotel and may decide to go elsewhere Reservations can be made for individuals, group, tours or conventions 11

12 Sources of Reservations Central Reservation System (CRS) Global Distribution System (GDS) Cluster reservations office Intersell Agencies (for example flight center) Property Direct Internet Distribution Systems 12

13 Central Reservation System (CRS) A central (or computerized) reservation system that controls and maintains the reservations for several hotels in one location Automatically redirects the reservation to the required hotel 13

14 Central Reservation System (CRS) The majority of hotel groups belong to one or more Central Reservation Systems A central reservation system is composed of a central reservation office, member hotels connected together via communication devices, and potential guests It exchanges room availability information with members hotel Central Reservation Office [CRO] offers its services via a 24-hours toll free telephone number(s) 14

15 Central Reservation System (CRS) Central reservation offices charges a fee for the utilization of its services A flat fee and a variable fee A flat percentage of potential room revenue, actual room revenue, and/or Rooms Division gross profit 15

16 Global Distribution Systems Computerized system by which reservationrelated information is stored and retrieved for multiple organizations Selling hotel rooms is accomplished by connecting the hotel reservation system with the GDS system GDSs have become a powerful force in hotel reservation 16

25 Reservation Availability After receiving a reservation request, the hotel might accept it, as it is, if there is room availability If not, the reservation department should suggest alternative room types, dates, and/or rates, to the potential guest If, however, the potential guest insists on his/her previous request, the hotel should suggest an alternative hotel That's one of the main reasons to maintain good relationships with nearby competing Hotels 25

26 Reservation Availability The reservation department should always compare historical reservation volumes against actual arrivals To cope with overbooking A situation occurring when the total number of rooms reserved for a certain period of time exceeds the total number of rooms available for sale, for the same period of time 26

27 Reservation Availability In order to cope with the overbooking problem, some statistical and historical data should be stored and processed by the hotel and should be continuously updated. Such data should include: Number of rooms reserved for a specific date Number of rooms occupied by stayovers (for a certain specific date) Forecasted no-shows percentage Forecasted understays percentage Forecasted overstays percentage Forecasted cancellation percentage Number of out of order rooms for a specific date 27
