From Table to Folio: How SkyTab Simplifies Guest Billing
The integration between your Property Management System (PMS) and the SkyTab Point-of-Sale (POS) system enables a smooth, property-wide charging process. Whether a guest orders room service, dines at the on-site restaurant, or shops at a retail outlet, charges can be posted directly to their Folio with just a few taps.
This interface supports efficient, real-time communication between departments, helping teams deliver faster service and providing guests with the convenience they expect.
Streamlined Guest Charging Process
Through this integration, staff using the SkyTab POS system—typically in areas like restaurants, bars, or retail outlets—can easily:
- Look up a guest reservation by room number
- Post charges directly to the guest's Folio in the PMS
This eliminates the need for manual posting, reducing time spent on administrative tasks and enhancing the overall guest experience.
Operational Benefits
- Real-Time Connectivity: Transactions from the POS are reflected immediately in the PMS, allowing for accurate, up-to-date folio balances.
- Simplified Workflow: Staff can focus more on guest service and less on paperwork, thanks to the direct communication between systems.
- Consistent Accounting: Charges posted from SkyTab are automatically assigned the appropriate accounting codes within the PMS, ensuring clear financial reporting.
Scope of the Interface
The SkyTab POS integration supports:
✅ Reservation Lookup by Room Number
✅ Direct Posting of Charges to Guest Folios
This interface supports a connected, guest-focused environment, allowing properties to deliver fast, accurate service from check-in to check-out.
