Hi All,
My husband and I have just bought our first bed & breakfast...well, it was a b&b at one point and we hope to run it that way eventually but for now we're just an Inn and don't serve breakfast.
We're in over our heads a little bit, lol, but my husband is experienced with small buisnesses and we have a small buisness development center in our town that has been extremely helpful so far.
My question has to do with reservations and when you charge them. We've already got people talking to us about July and August and we're not for sure how/when to charge. Do you charge a deposit immedately for holding the room and the rest when they arrive? If so how much is your deposit?
Just reading through some of this forum I know there is a lot I don't know yet so if you have any other advice please feel free to share.
Thanks!
