Within RoomBoss it is possible to order 3rd party services and package these with the accommodation or services you provide.
Subject to access granted by Vendors you can book a range of Guest Services such as; airport transfers, ski rentals or ski lessons.
Order Type
RoomBoss uses 3 different Order Types, these are Internal, Request and Reservation:
- An Internal Order is entered by you and exists only within your account. It is visible on the guest intranet, but will not be sent to the Vendor unless you change it to a Request.
- A Request Order is entered by you and is sent to a Vendor, this is not a confirmed booking unless the Vendor changes it to a Reservation.
- A Reservation Order is a booking that has been confirmed by a Vendor.
On the Edit A Booking page click Add To Package
