Hey, guys
Aspiring here, have lurked for a few months. Trying to put together checklists of what we need to do.
So... I have a question in best way to check in guests. I envision something like the following (once their booking is complete).
1) They have done their thing on b...com, air bnb, TA, website - confirmed, etc.
2) I know you get credit card first, but since the guest comes from all sorts of places, how do you get the card, deposit ahead of time?
4) Do you charge for whole stay first, first day first, after each day, or after whole stay? I do not really want to be chasing people who have left early or out the door on their way to the car...
5) I will have one of those auto doorbells that enable you to talk to them anywhere from your cellphone. If I am near the door, I want to know they are registered guests before letting them in!
6) If they call/come by before checkin time, I tell them checkin starts at 3:30. If they argue I tell them I am not there yet or there is a $25 early checkin and only if their room is ready.
7) ONCE it is checkin time and they are confirmed as registered guests, I will provide the front door code and their room code (plus room number). If I am answering door can provide on paper or sent to their cellphone or something else. All doors will have quality codelocks. No keys or room cards for me. Half the time I am in motels, the cards seem to fail to work at least once.
Problems with my plan? Reality? Help?
