The Bookings for LS Central module lets you manage reservations and appointments, both details facing the client and reservation of the resources needed to perform the services, such as specialists or facilities. The functions are available in the back-end of LS Central and on the POS.
The appointments or reservations can reserve multiple resources, if needed, both automatically and manually assigned by the user. It is defined what the resources can do, and priority settings can also be assigned, which are then followed when being automatically assigned for specific services.
The services are defined as products, which are assigned pricing and dates for when they are available for selling. The availability of the product depends on the availability of the resources required by the product definition.
You can also manage events with the Bookings module with scenarios where you need to manage the reservation of dining-/meeting rooms, associated equipment, and have food and beverages (or any retail item) registered prior to the event, to be finalized and invoiced at the POS after the event has been concluded. Events can also be quoted through standard quote, and finalized using standard invoice. The point of sale features can be used to select food and beverage products for the event, then be pushed to the event reservation, and be added to the additional charges section.
You can handle courses that have a specific starting date, limited seat availability, and reserve resources according to a predefined schedule. Then each participant can be registered and payments finalized through the point of sale.
Any activity, for example reservations or appointments, can trigger the issuing of tasks, which according to pre-set templates can be assigned to dates and time prior to arrival, during stay, or after the activity is completed.
These tasks can be assigned to specific employees and the manager can keep track of their status in the role center.
The reservation features can also handle classes where you have a fixed schedule of individual sessions going on for a set time frame, and they can keep track of the necessary resources to perform the classes.
