October – Release notes

Hello everyone,

We are glad to inform that several important updates were released. Please have a look below.

Cheers,

FrontDesk Master Team

Hotelbeds Integration

The 2-way integration is already live. Contact our support@frontdeskmaster.com if you want to enable the connection.

Set max. number of rooms sold on channels at once

In order to improve your revenue management efforts, you can now limit the number of beds/rooms that are shown as available on booking portals at once.

Example:

  • Imagine that you have 10 double rooms available for next Saturday;
  • You set the limit to display maximum “3” rooms on portals at once;
  • Now, although you have 10 double rooms, there will be maximum 3 rooms displayed on the booking channels;
  • If you have 9,8,7…4 double rooms available, booking channels will still display only 3 rooms to be booked at once.

Contact us if you need help with setting this up.

New email keys

You can use the new emails keys: {Balance15}, {Balance20}, {Balance25}, {Balance30}, {Balance35}, {Balance40}, {Balance45}, {Balance50} to communicate to guests the % amount of the booking they need to prepay or they will be charged in advance.

Please contact us for more information.
