Record check-in

Enter the actual arrival time, review and confirm check-in. This records attendance, not payment or documents.

Check-in recorded

After recording arrival, the guest moves to the in-house list with the actual time. Payment and documents remain separate checks.

Record departure

Record departure with the actual time. An overdue planned departure stays in the overdue list until recorded.

A walk-in guest

For an arrival without a booking, use the walk-in guest action at the top of the page. This action is at the top of the front desk, separate from existing bookings.
