Across all of them, independent properties face the same back-office problems: bookings in one place, the bar and kitchen in another, stores in a notebook and the accounts typed up at month-end. With one system, every room night, bar bill, delivery and MTN Mobile Money payment lands in the books as it happens, and the owner reads occupancy, revenue and costs from a phone. ## What you get ### Front desk and planner Reservations, agents and companies, seasons, check-in and check-out. ### Folios and billing Room to the company or agent, extras to the guest, MTN Mobile Money on the bill. ### Restaurant and bar Tables, charge to room, offline tills. ### Procurement Purchase orders with lead times, bills matched to deliveries. ### Stores Main, kitchen, bar and housekeeping stores with counts. ### Accounts in UGX VAT, bank and mobile money matching, departmental profit and loss. ## By type of property in Uganda - [**Lodge Software in Uganda** Software for lodges in Uganda, from Bwindi: bookings, folios, stores, procurement and accounts in UGX, with MTN Mobile Money.](https://www.tivuzo.com/hotel-software/uganda/lodges/) - [**Safari Camp Software in Uganda** Software for safari and tented camps in Uganda, from Murchison Falls: bookings, folios, stores, procurement and accounts in UGX, with MTN Mobile Money.](https://www.tivuzo.com/hotel-software/uganda/safari-camps/) - [**Guest House Software in Uganda** Software for guest houses and B&Bs in Uganda, from Kampala: bookings, folios, stores, procurement and accounts in UGX, with MTN Mobile Money.](https://www.tivuzo.com/hotel-software/uganda/guest-houses/) - [**Hotel Management Software in Uganda** Software for hotels in Uganda, from Kampala: bookings, folios, stores, procurement and accounts in UGX, with MTN Mobile Money.](https://www.tivuzo.com/hotel-software/uganda/hotels/) ## VAT, levies and tax systems Tivuzo applies VAT as you set it on each room type, meal plan and item and keeps a VAT report by period. Tourism or local levies can be set up as their own taxes or charges so they show separately on the folio and in the accounts. URA EFRIS e-invoicing is not built into Tivuzo yet. Ask us about your EFRIS setup before you subscribe. This page is general information, not tax advice. Rates and rules change: confirm your obligations with the tax authority or your accountant. ## Licensing and guest records Accommodation businesses in Uganda deal with licensing and standards set by the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) and local authorities. Tivuzo keeps clear records of every stay, guest and payment, including guest ID details captured at check-in and printable registration cards, which makes inspections and guest-register requests quicker. Always follow the authorities' requirements for your property. ## Getting started in Uganda Request a free trial and the Tivuzo team sets up your database in UGX with your property name, rooms and rates; we help you load your stores items and opening balances during the trial.
