Package on a Stay

A Package Plan posts a flat fee to the guest's folio while the revenue gets internally distributed amongst the Component Posting Types that make up the Package. The Package Plan command in the Manager's Commands Menu is used to generate the Package Plans available at your Property.

The guest will see the total "Package" charge, but reports will show the revenue attached to each component.

For example, the package called "Romance" may include $145 for the sleeping room, $50.00 for meals, $30.00 for flowers and $25.00 for champagne, making a total cost for the package of $250.00. This breakdown is visible on generated reports, however the guest will only see $250.00 for the package.

A Package may be attached to the stay at the time of reservation, where the appropriate Package may be selected from those available on the (Quick) Reservation screen, or using the Dates screen or Packages screen in the Reservation Wizard.

You may also add (or change) a package associated with the Stay on the Stay Info tab of the folio screen.  Any package plan attached to a guest stay, along with the total package price, is visible on this tab.

You can also MODIFY the package for this stay by clicking on the ellipse (...) icon to the right of the Package field.

NOTE: Any changes to Package information through the Package screen using the Stay Info tab applies those changes ONLY FOR THIS STAY. The prices that were created in the configuration set up of the Package Plan will still be the default prices when you subsequently add this Package to another Stay.

 

 

 

 

 

When you are finished making changes to the Package information, click Save to apply your changes to the Guest Stay. If you have accessed the Package information via the Reservations wizard, the summary screen will reflect the changes.

By default, the Posting Screen and guest statement show the total package price and not each individual component price.  The revenue will be distributed internally for reports, such as the Department Revenue Report, based on the post type/components that make up the package. However you can check the Show Package Detail checkbox to view the components and their prices that make up the package.
