Last Friday, the RB Sapporo team had our very first team dinner and indulged in the local specialty known as “shime parfait”. In Sapporo’s vibrant nightlife scene, this delicacy marks the perfect conclusion to an evening of fun.

Following a delectable feast of Yakitori and beer, we ventured to a shime-parfait cafe called “Sinner”, conveniently located just a minute’s stroll from Hosui-Susukino station Exit 1. Here, amidst laughter and camaraderie, we savored our very first “shime parfait,” toasting to the opening of the new Sapporo office and the memorable evening we had shared.

This week saw the release of some exciting new features for RoomBoss Trust:

Automatically Distribute Journal Entries Across Multiple Ownerships

It is now possible to automatically distribute credits / debits across all the units in a Vendor, Room Type or a Pool, from a single entry in the upload.
Distribution can be equal across all ownerships, or set in the system based on entitlements.

Find out more about Journal Entry Uploads here.

Indicate Owner Bookings On Future Booked Dates

You are now able to set a colour and text to indicate which bookings are for owner booking segments in the future held dates area, allowing viewers to easily distinguish between Owner stays and standard bookings.

Forecast Future Manager And Owner Revenue

The new Journal Entries Report (Forecast) generates journal entries based on bookings checking out for a selected period and trust contract mappings.
This feature can be used for projection of income for future periods, or reporting of income for a period on a accrual basis.

This week sees the release of the newly upgraded Price Adjustment and Commission Adjustment pages, available for all Non-Accommodation vendors.

Price Adjustment is used to manage context-dependent price changes, such as temporary specials; tweaking prices for short or long duration services; or applying fixed amounts to a service to cover delivery or other costs.

Commission Adjustment can be used to view and manage Agent Commission adjustments, enabling you to apply percentage changes depending on the agent, service, booking date or delivery period.

Both pages feature a variety of improvements, including:

• A new modern, mobile-friendly UI
• Powerful new filters allowing you to quickly locate adjustments based on Name, Services Covered, Booking Source, Discount Code, and adjustment date.
• UX enhancements like the time-saving Bulk Delete feature, allowing deletion of multiple adjustments at once.

More information about Price Adjustments can be found on our Help Site.

Owner Bookings & Availability Calendar
It is now possible to allow owners to book stays in their properties via their Owner Statements. Once enabled, owners will see a calendar with available dates and be able to make bookings.
