Delivering a flawless and individualized guest experience stands as a top priority. Achieving this goal involves the consistent upkeep and effective utilization of current guest profiles when handling new reservations. Keeping these profiles current isn't merely a matter of convenience; it serves as a strategic
advantage that can result in heightened guest contentment, improved operational efficiency, and fortified guest loyalty. When you invest in maintaining accurate guest profiles and leverage them for new reservations, you guarantee that each guest's encounter exceeds expectations.

The guest profile is composed of 3 main sections: Guest Information, Marketing Information, and Overall Totals.
All information highlighted in green will be automatically populated and included in the reservation when the profile is selected.
In this section, you can choose the guest's preferred method of payment. It's important to note that even if credit card is selected, you cannot save the credit card number due to compliance with PCI regulations.
Perhaps the most valuable feature in this section is the "Comments" field, where you can input any preferences, habits, or services that the guest values.
It's important to remember that any comments entered here will appear in the guest profile under the 'Internal Comments' section. However, only additions made directly within the guest profile will be saved. Comments added through the reservation will not be included in the guest profile comments.
