The ROOMBOSS team was thrilled to join SKIDATA’s booth at Leisure Japan 2024, Japan's premier event for the theme park, outdoor, and leisure industries, held from Oct 16–18 at Tokyo Big Sight. ROOMBOSS provides powerful systems to support the sales, operations, and management needs of activity service providers, and we were proud to showcase our ECS and POS solutions at the event. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth—we truly enjoyed connecting with industry professionals and sharing how our solutions can enhance business efficiency. We look forward to participating in more events and continuing to share our latest advancements with you.

Within a ROOMBOSS account, in addition to the Account Master User created at the time of account setup, individual users can be created for each staff member with different permission levels. This allows businesses to control which features each user can access within the system. We’re excited to introduce a new user role: Super Admin. Users assigned this role will have the same level of access as the Account Master User, enabling them to configure all settings within the account. This new role can be assigned from the Users page in the system.

It's now possible to give customers two options to pay online for your services. For example, pair options such as Flywire (where customers pay in their currency) and Stripe (where customers pay in your currency). More information is available on our help site.

We've launched a new Channel Manager Dashboard to easily monitor what room types and rate plans are connected to each OTA. It's also possible to download the connection state as an Excel spreadsheet. Coming next for the Channel Manager Dashboard is a feature to help manage the linking of rate plans with OTAs.

Set a Gap Management Policy that covers bookings received from your website, OTAs and travel agents. A Gap Management Policy can automatically protect against small, hard-to-fill gaps. It can also be used to prevent check-out and check-in on the same day, for example to allow time for housekeeping. Please refer to our Help Site for more information.

This exciting new feature can increase revenue while also helping customers to target services that suit their requirements. Up-selling: Based on rules that you control, customers can be encouraged to replace an item in their shopping cart with a higher-end version. Cross-selling: Also based on your rules, customers can be encouraged to add items that are related to or complement an item in their shopping cart. Please find more information available on our help site.  

The Rates Audit Report provides a new way to view rates and occupancy across one or more properties. It generates an Excel download containing rates, restrictions and occupancy. See our Help Site for more information.
