Boutique hotel software

# Software for boutique hotels.

A boutique hotel lives on detail: the welcome, the wine list, the breakfast. Tivuzo takes care of the details nobody sees, so a small team spends its time on guests instead of spreadsheets.

**What software should a boutique hotel use?**
Tivuzo is boutique hotel software: a calm PMS with a drag-and-drop planner and seasonal rates, folios that collect restaurant, bar and spa extras, restaurant and bar POS with charge to room, procurement and stores that keep food and wine cost under control, and accounting that shows the margin per room and per department. It runs in the browser for $13 per user per month.

## Built for a small team

In a 12-room or 30-room hotel the receptionist is also the concierge, the GM approves the orders and the chef counts the cold room. Tivuzo gives each of them one screen for their work: the planner and arrivals for reception, the bar and restaurant tills, the stores list for the chef, purchase approvals on the GM's phone, and the accounts for the bookkeeper. Each person's Home screen shows only what needs their attention today.

## The guest sees one bill

| Moment | In Tivuzo |
|---|---|
| Arrival | Registration card with your logo; room inspected and ready. |
| Dinner | Charged to the room from the restaurant till. |
| Spa or excursion | Added as an extra from your list. |
| Departure | One folio statement, emailed, paid by card or M-Pesa. |

## Margin, not just revenue

Boutique hotels charge more per room, and spend more per room: better amenities, better produce, more staff per guest. Revenue alone hides that. With purchases, stores and stays in one system, Tivuzo shows [food cost](https://www.tivuzo.com/guides/hotel-food-cost-percentage/), [bar pour cost](https://www.tivuzo.com/guides/hotel-bar-stock-control/) and [cost per occupied room](https://www.tivuzo.com/guides/cost-per-occupied-room/) beside ADR and RevPAR, so you can see which nights, rooms and menus make money.

## Wine and bar

- Bottles by vintage or supplier as separate items
- Bar and cellar as separate stores, with transfers
- Glass and bottle sales from the same stock
- Weekly bar counts with variance by item

## Boutique hotel questions

### Is Tivuzo good for a small luxury hotel?

Yes. It is designed for small teams that want one system for rooms, food and drink, stores and accounts, without paying per room.

### Can I sell wine by the glass and the bottle?

Yes. Set up the glass as a measure of the bottle, so glass and bottle sales come out of the same stock and the bar count stays right.

### Can I add spa treatments to the bill?

Yes. Add them as extras on the folio, or sell them from their own till and charge to the room.

### Does Tivuzo have a guest app or online check-in?

Not yet. Check-in is done at the desk with a printable registration card.
