Ideas for RoomKeyPMS

Morning,

We are a new client of RoomKey.  So new in fact that we are still undergoing our initial training.  However, I had an idea I wanted to share with you …

Referring to the calendar found on the Reservation NEW screen …  Would it be possible to BOLD text or otherwise identify certain dates on the calendar?  One of two thoughts on which dates are highlighted:

1. RoomKey has a set list of 10-12 dates throughout the year that are highlighted --- Memorial Day, Labor Day, Presidents Day, 4^th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve or Day, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day … day’s in which a guest may call for a reservation and say “I want to stay on ___” or I want to come up the Thursday before ___”
2. Individual locations are able to establish dates for themselves – unique to their needs (perhaps in addition to the 10-12 RoomKey has selected).

In either example described above if you hover the mouse over or perhaps right click on the highlighted date a tag pops up … “Memorial Day”, “Presidents Day”, etc.

Why?  Often guests will state “I want to come up the Thursday before Memorial Day”; “I’d like to come up for Christmas in July” (a holiday celebrated on the islands just off shore from us – i.e. reason for option 2 above).  Yes, the reservationist should remember July 4^th or Christmas or New Year’s Eve … but … it might be good to have the added identifier just to help them along.  Additionally, if this same option is offered for on-line bookings it may help the guest from their end as well.

Just a thought …

Thanks,

Mike Snider
