FAQ: About Hotel PMS

1What is a hotel PMS and what does a PMS do?
A hotel Property Management System (PMS) like RoomRaccoon is a cloud-based system embraced by hotels and other accommodation businesses to manage front- and back-end tasks effortlessly through process automation. It provides a centralised platform for managing reservations and guests. It has features such as property setup (including room categories, rooms/units, and rate plans), payment management, guest communication, reporting, housekeeping, and revenue optimisation tools.
2How does a hotel PMS benefit South African hoteliers?
The adoption of a cloud-based hotel PMS aligns with the strategic goals of US independent hotels by offering operational efficiency, time savings, revenue optimisation, guest experience enhancement, sustainability, and adaptability to evolving industry trends. This technology becomes a valuable asset for hotels aiming to thrive in a competitive and ever-changing market landscape.

If you're looking for a hassle-free hotel management solution, RoomRaccoon is the perfect choice! With its all-in-one system, you can enjoy a seamless experience that includes PMS software, a built-in booking engine, and a channel manager.
3What features should I look for in a hotel PMS for my South African hotel?
If you're in the market for a hotel PMS, it's important to consider these 9 essential features that will help manage A-Z your property operations:

1. Integration Marketplace: Your hotel PMS should integrate with your existing systems for smooth running operations. These include your accounting system, door lock solution, and POS system, among others. Explore RoomRaccoon’s Marketplace.
2. Online check-in and check-out: Modern guests demand seamless and hassle-free experiences. That's why contactless technology is the need of the hour.
3. Intuitive Calendar: It's important for your reservation calendar to be easy to use and intuitive since it's the most frequently used interface. Avoid hotel PMS calendars that resemble Excel spreadsheets.
4. Online Payment Processing: Payments are the lifeblood of a hotel business. You should use a hotel PMS that collects payments at various guest touchpoints.
5. Guest Communication: Keep your guests in the loop, even on the busiest of days. By automating your guest communication via emails or even speedy chats on WhatsApp, you can stay connected with your guests and ensure that they always feel supported.
6. Food and Beverage: Your hotel's PMS should provide an overview of meals included in stays (i.e., breakfast, lunch, or dinner) to ensure your kitchen is well-prepared.
7. Housekeeping: Run a spotless hotel with a housekeeping management feature that allows you to seamlessly collaborate with your team. 8. Dynamic Pricing Tool: Cloud-based PMS systems like RoomRaccoon with integrated dynamic pricing leverage real-time data to optimise your rates based on dynamic pricing scenarios, helping maximise revenue and occupancy.
9. Group Booking Management: A hotel PMS that streamlines group bookings in the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Events/Exhibitions) segment can enhance profitability.
4How much does a hotel property management system cost?
You can implement RoomRaccoon's hotel property management system for a flat monthly or annual fee (save 20% on annual contracts). You can access our entire platform for just R2610 a month, which includes a PMS, booking engine, and channel manager. Explore our different subscription packages and select one that best suits your operational needs.
