"BOOK DIRECT FROM YOUR WEBSITE"

"Roombasket" is a tool that allows your guests to make Online Bookings Direct from your own website. It's your website's equivalent of hanging a vacancies sign in your window. "Roombasket" puts you in control of accepting your own bookings that come from your website, with no commission charges to pay. "Roombasket" uses Resident Pro to keep your website up-to-date with your availability, special offers, and terms. "Roombasket" can be seamlessly integrated into your present website, or launched in a new window with a "book direct" button.

Prerequisites

Professional, Guest House, or Free Edition of Resident Pro

How it works

A guest visits your website to book a room direct. They pick their arrival date from the Calendar, and number of nights, and select a room from the list of your available room types. Only the available rooms for the their selected dates are displayed. They then choose a rate relating to that room.  Continued after diagram...

The guests room is added to their "Roombasket", and additional rooms can then be added before submitting their Personal details on a Secure page. The guests personal details are automatically checked to ensure their email address and credit card details are valid, and your terms and conditions are agreed.  Depending on your terms, the card details are taken for security, or in order to take a deposit.

The moment the booking is submitted, an autoreply email is sent to the guest, thanking them for their booking. The email also states that the booking is awaiting final confirmation from the hotel.  An email and fax is sent to the hotel, ready to Copy into a new booking on "Resident Pro".

Example 2: Roombasket within site

The benefits you receive with "Roombasket" are:-

There are No commission charges!

Guests can book online, direct from your own website

Guests can add 1 room to their "Roombasket", or multiple rooms, and room types.

You can choose to sell all of your available rooms, or selectively sell just a handful of rooms of your choice.

You can easily upload all your availability, without having to fill in any separate availability charts. Resident Pro already knows what rooms are available from your Reservations Chart!

You can choose to sell any rooms that have ‘allocated symbols’ on them, or choose to class those rooms as unavailable.

"Resident Pro" can remind you to update your availability every day.

"Roombasket" can be scheduled to automatically update your online availability from "Resident Pro", with your forward vacancies, at regular intervals throughout the day.

"Roombasket" sells different room types of your choice, like doubles, 4-posters, standard or superior rooms.

Allows you to sell tariffs for different minimum lengths of stay, like special offers for 3 nights or longer.

Allows you to sell date-sensitive tariffs, like seasonal rates, or special events.

"Roombasket" can exclude certain days of the week from any of your rates, i.e. unavailable on a Saturday

You can sell separate online tariffs to those you have setup for your internal staff use.


Is this another Online Booking Agency?
No.   "Roombasket" enables you to receive bookings direct from your own website, completely independent of any other websites or agencies. Whilst it is a good idea to use Online Booking Agencies to win business on the internet for your hotel, it makes even more sense to encourage guests to "book direct". Unlike agencies, "Roombasket" is commission free - you simply pay a low-cost annual subscription to use the service on your website.

SECURE FAX OR WITHOUT?
If you have fax facilities, the easiest, day-to-day system to use, is "Roombasket" with Secure Fax.
At the time of booking, the system delivers a secure, instant, reliable fax showing credit card details. A normal email is also delivered, with no decryption necessary. 

If you prefer to decode your emails using separate PGP software, or if you do not have fax facilities, then opt for the "Free Fax" or "No Fax" option.

Roombasket Options

·         With Secure Fax (Recommended)

·         With Free Fax

·         Without Fax 

Price
£320.50 per annum with Secure Fax, or £250.00 per annum without. 
No commission charges.

Code-behind to link to your website
Once your "Roombasket" is setup, your web-designer needs to link it to your website. The Code-Behind below, contains the code for your web-designer to copy into your website.  The first code assumes you want to add a Pop-up link button (or a button of your own). The first part of this Javascript code goes in the <head> section of the page. 



The next code creates an Iframe within your page. Note: when using this method, depending on the security settings on the users browser, "Roombasket" will either stay within the Iframe, or a new window will open when the user clicks on the search button.

(Substitute the word "Your directory" with the directory name setup for you)
