Module by module

PMS for resorts and beach hotels

Resorts sell packages through tour operators and direct, often all-inclusive or half board, across rooms and villas with strong seasons.

  • Rooms, suites and villas as types
  • All-inclusive, half board and B&B plans
  • Tour-operator net rates on the booking
  • Seasons by month and festive weeks

Procurement for resorts and beach hotels

A beach resort buys at volume and often imports. Procurement needs approvals, supplier price lists and lead times for island or coastal delivery.

  • Volume orders with approval
  • Imported items with long lead times
  • Separate F&B, housekeeping and maintenance buying
  • Bills matched before payment

Inventory and stores for resorts and beach hotels

Several restaurants and bars, a beach bar and a spa all draw from stores. Each outlet needs its own store and count so leaks show up quickly.

  • A store per outlet, including the beach bar
  • Spa products as a store
  • Daily issues to outlets
  • Weekly outlet counts

Accounting for resorts and beach hotels

Resorts need departmental accounts across rooms, several outlets, spa and activities, plus tour-operator receivables in several currencies.

  • P&L per department and outlet
  • Tour-operator receivables in EUR or USD
  • All-inclusive revenue split
  • Commission costs by channel

Restaurant and bar POS for resorts and beach hotels

Main restaurant, à la carte, beach bar, pool bar and spa each sell to in-house guests. Every till must charge to room and keep its own stock.

  • Zero-priced included drinks on all-inclusive
  • Offline tills on the beach

Resort management software: questions

Can a resort PMS handle all-inclusive?

Yes. Use a meal plan for the inclusive part and ring included drinks at zero, with premium items charged as extras.

How do resorts control stock across outlets?

Give every outlet its own store, issue on requisition and count each one weekly.

How should a resort split all-inclusive revenue?

Allocate the package between rooms and food and beverage using the meal plan price, so each department shows its real revenue.

Can a beach bar till work with weak Wi-Fi?

Yes. It keeps selling offline with cash, card and mobile money and syncs later.

What does Tivuzo not do yet?

No live channel manager (Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb sync), no booking engine for your website, no door-lock integration, no payroll and no country e-invoicing links.
