Marketing Wi-Fi: turn guest Wi-Fi into a list of people the hotel can reach.

New7

  • A sign-in page for the hotel's Wi-Fi. The hotel's router sends a guest's phone to a short page in the hotel's name and colours, in Khmer or English. The guest signs in with Telegram or a phone number and is let online. Nothing to install.
  • The box to receive offers is never ticked for the guest and is not a condition of getting online. A hotel can also let guests connect without signing in.
  • Works with a MikroTik hotspot router: the PMS page prints the address to put in the router's login page and the commands for the router, ready to copy. For any other router, the page shows the Wi-Fi name and password after sign-in.
  • A new Marketing Wi-Fi page in the PMS for the hotel admin: switch it on, set the router, the session length and a welcome line; see the contact list with search, who opted in, who also booked with the hotel and how many times each person came; save the list as a spreadsheet; take a person off the marketing list or erase them.
  • One Telegram message to everyone who opted in, at most one a day, headed by the hotel's name and ending with how to stop. The page shows how many people it reached. Typed phone numbers are kept on the list but never messaged, because nothing proves they belong to the guest.
  • Sending /stop to the bot takes a person off the marketing list at every hotel, and so does blocking the bot.
  • A Marketing Wi-Fi module in the owner portal, on for every hotel and off in each hotel until its admin switches it on, and a section on the marketing site's Features page with a matching choice in its contact form.

Maintenance: know when every air-conditioner, pump and extinguisher is due.

New5

  • A Maintenance page in the PMS. List the hotel's equipment (air-conditioners, pool pumps, fire extinguishers, lifts, generators, water heaters, smoke alarms, CCTV, kitchen equipment and more) and the jobs that repeat on each: clean the filters every 3 months, a full service every year. When equipment is added we offer the usual jobs for its kind as a starting list; the hotel changes how often each one is done.
  • A To do list of what is overdue, due this week and on schedule, with a Done button. Marking a job done records the day, who did it, what it cost and a note, and moves the next date on from the day it was really done.
  • A service log for inspections: every job done, newest first, filtered by equipment and dates, saved as a spreadsheet or printed. Entries are never changed or deleted; a mistake in the notes, vendor or cost is fixed by a correction kept beside the original.
  • A morning e‑mail from 7:00, in English and Khmer, to the hotel admins and up to five other addresses when something is overdue or due this week, and nothing on a quiet day.
  • Housekeeping and the front desk see the list and mark jobs done; the hotel admin sets everything up. A Maintenance module in the owner portal, on for every hotel and off in each hotel until its admin switches it on, and a section on the marketing site's Features page with a matching choice in its contact form.

Improved1

  • The marketing site's Features page can now have up to 14 sections, and its menu has What's new after Pricing.

Version 0.6.0

 6 new

An in-room guide, so the folder in every room can go.

New6

  • In-room guide: a QR code in each room opens a page with the guests' Wi-Fi (with a Copy button), the check-out time, the hotel's house rules, and the entries the hotel writes itself: breakfast and restaurant hours, tours and transport with a link to book, and numbers to tap and call. It shows in Khmer or English, in the hotel's own name and colours, with nothing to install and no sign-in.
  • Request buttons on that page: clean my room, extra towels, ask for a late check-out, report a problem, call me from reception. Each one reaches the front desk with the room and an optional note, and pressing a button twice does not ring the desk twice.
  • A new In-room guide page in the PMS for the hotel admin: switch it on, set the Wi-Fi and a welcome line, add, reorder, hide and delete entries, make a code for every room, open any room's guide as a guest sees it, and replace a defaced code in one click (the old one stops working at once).
  • Print all the room codes on A4 sheets, four cards to a page, each with a second small code that joins the Wi-Fi at once.
  • A new Guest requests page in the PMS for the front desk and housekeeping: what guests asked for, from which room, with the stay in it, refreshing by itself, and a Done button.
  • An In-room guide module in the owner portal, on for every hotel and off in each hotel until its admin switches it on, and a section on the marketing site's Features page with a matching choice in its contact form.

Version 0.5.0

Guest reviews, and Telegram as a second way to reach a guest.

New5

  • Guest reviews: a few hours after check-out the guest gets a short message in Khmer or English with a link to the hotel's Google or TripAdvisor page. The hotel pastes its review link once, chooses how many hours to wait, and switches it on in the new Guest reviews page of the PMS. That page shows how many guests were asked and how many opened the link, with the reason when a guest was not asked.
  • Every guest is asked, not only the happy ones, and nothing is offered in return, because Google does not allow either. A guest is asked at most once every 30 days and can ask not to be asked again. If something was not right, the message says how to reach the hotel first.
  • Telegram: on the manage-booking page a guest can connect Telegram and get the hotel's messages there instead of by e‑mail, and disconnect again at any time. It appears once the hotel has reviews switched on and the OtelCloud bot is set up (steps); without the bot guests are simply messaged by e‑mail.
  • A Guest reviews module in the owner portal, on for every hotel and off in each hotel until its admin switches it on.
  • A Guest reviews section on the marketing site's Features page, and a matching choice in its contact form.

Version 0.4.3

 4 new2 improved4 fixed

Promotions and loyalty points, a housekeeping role, and fixes from a full audit by role.

New4

  • Promotions: a promo code the guest types, or an offer that applies by itself, with the nights it covers, the days it can be booked, a minimum stay, room types, a use limit and a "returning guests only" option. A link ending in ?promo=CODE opens the booking page with the code applied.
  • Loyalty points: guests earn points at check-out and spend them on their next booking, online or at the desk. The hotel sets the rate and what a point is worth. New Promotions and Loyalty pages in the PMS, a Loyalty card on the guest profile, and the offer and points shown on the booking page, the confirmation e‑mail, the manage page and the reservation drawer.
  • A Housekeeping role that sees the room board and room status only, with no bookings, guests or money.
  • A Promotions and loyalty section on the marketing site's Features page, and a matching choice in its contact form.

Improved2

  • The room board refreshes by itself every 30 seconds and when you come back to it.
  • Marking a dirty room clean offers to clear its cleaning note.

Fixed4

  • A price agreed by hand at the desk is checked: a far-out price asks for a second look and an absurd one is refused.
  • A hotel can no longer turn off every way to pay.
  • A dorm's words and its default bed limit follow its property type.
  • The charge dialog's footer shows what the guest pays with VAT included.

Version 0.4.2
