# The best PMS for hotels.

An independent hotel lives on corporate and conference business as much as leisure. The PMS has to carry agreed company rates, bill the room to the company and the bar to the guest, and give the GM a clean night audit every morning. Here is what to look for, and how Tivuzo does it as part of one back office.

**What is the best PMS for hotels?**
The best property management system (PMS) for hotels covers reservations, rates and seasons, the room planner, check-in and check-out, guest folios, housekeeping and the night audit, and handles what is specific to hotels: corporate rate plans and companies on the booking; group blocks for conferences with one folio or many; a planner that shows 60+ rooms clearly; morning numbers on the gm's phone. It should share one database with the rest of the back office so nothing is typed twice. Tivuzo includes it with the PMS, POS, procurement, stores and accounting for $13 per user per month.

## What hotels need

An independent hotel lives on corporate and conference business as much as leisure. The PMS has to carry agreed company rates, bill the room to the company and the bar to the guest, and give the GM a clean night audit every morning.

- Corporate rate plans and companies on the booking
- Group blocks for conferences with one folio or many
- A planner that shows 60+ rooms clearly
- Morning numbers on the GM's phone

## The full checklist

Beyond the specifics above, any property management system (PMS) for a hotel should have:

| Must have | In Tivuzo |
|---|---|
| Room types, rate plans with seasons and meal plans | ✓ |
| A drag-and-drop planner that refuses double bookings | ✓ |
| Single and group bookings with source, agent and reference | ✓ |
| Check-in with guest ID, room moves and check-out | ✓ |
| Folios with deposits, extras and split billing | ✓ |
| Housekeeping status shared with reception | ✓ |
| A night audit with occupancy, ADR and RevPAR | ✓ |
| Shares data with the rest of the back office | ✓ One database: PMS, POS, procurement, stores, accounting |

## Why it should be part of one system

When the PMS is joined to the accounts and stores, every night posted at the audit is already revenue, every bar bill charged to a room is already on the folio, and check-out produces an invoice that the payment matches.

## What it costs a hotel

At a typical hotel the people who log in are the front office, housekeeping, F&B, stores, purchasing and accounts: 12 users, $156 a month or $1,497.60 a year, with every module included. See [pricing](https://www.tivuzo.com/pricing/).

## PMS for hotels: questions

### Can a hotel PMS bill the room to a company?

Yes. Set the company as "room billed to"; room charges go to its invoice with payment terms, extras stay with the guest.

### Is the PMS included in Tivuzo's price?

Yes. Every module is included for $13 per user per month; there are no add-ons and no fees per room.

### Does Tivuzo work for small hotels?

Yes. A hotel pays only for the people who log in; switch on modules as you need them.

### Does Tivuzo work with weak internet?

The restaurant and bar tills sell offline and sync later; the rest needs a connection, and light use works on mobile data.

### What does Tivuzo not do yet?

No live channel manager, booking engine, door-lock integration, payroll or country e-invoicing links.
