Another invaluable tool for Bed & Breakfasts, our availability chart is a simple organisation facility - at a glance you can see which room is available and when. It's also a useful place to keep notes about guest, arrival times etc. If it�s helpful for your business, charts can also be published on your website so that potential clients can also see your availability.
It's very important to be able to see at a glance your availability when answering a telephone enquiry. As a side benefit when updating the chart (simplicity itself, of course) you can keep notes on each booking online. Invaluable for adding details such as guest arrival times, specially agreed prices and requirements.
It's entirely at your discretion whether you publish the availability chart on your website for potential clients to view, or keep it solely as an organisational aid for yourself in the 'back office'.
