# Hotel management software for Zimbabwe.

Tivuzo is hotel back office software for Zimbabwe: a PMS, restaurant and bar POS, procurement, stores and accounts in US dollar (and Zimbabwe Gold, ZiG)s, for hotels, lodges, camps and guest houses from Victoria Falls to the most remote property.

**What is the best hotel management system in Zimbabwe?**
The best hotel management system for an independent property in Zimbabwe runs reservations, the front desk, folios, housekeeping, the restaurant and bar, purchasing, stores and accounts in one place, in USD, and records US dollars cash and other local payments with their references. Tivuzo does this in the browser, handles VAT (standard rate 15.5% (from January 2026)) per room type, meal plan and item, keeps the restaurant and bar tills selling offline, and costs $13 per user per month with a 14-day free trial.

## The market in Zimbabwe

Hospitality in Zimbabwe is Victoria Falls hotels and lodges, camps in Hwange and Mana Pools, Kariba houseboats and lodges, and Harare business hotels. 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 US dollars cash 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, US dollars cash 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 USD

## 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.

ZIMRA fiscalisation (fiscal devices and the fiscal device gateway) is not built into Tivuzo yet. Keep your fiscal device for receipts and ask us about your setup.

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 Zimbabwe deal with licensing and standards set by the national tourism authority 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.
