PART 6. HOTEL / MOTEL FEATURE PACKAGE
6.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW
The DCS Hotel Operator software package combines the DCS business features with
additional features created for the Hotel/Motel industry. This combination meets the re-
quirements of the hotel general business offices as well as those of the hotel guest.
Samsung “Hotel Operator” is designed to operate in small to medium sized hotels, up to
approximately 75 rooms, without the additional cost of a Property Management System
(PMS). However when used in larger hotels, the owner/operator may choose to interface
the Transaction Record Output to a PMS.
The key to the Hotel Operator is the front desk, “administrator’s” display telephones. Spe-
cial keys/buttons such as: Check In, Check Out, Room Bill, Room Status, and Credit key
make it convinient to perform day to day routine functions. At any administrator’s display
telephone just a few button presses are required to print out various types of reports such
as Room Bill, Wakeup Activity, Room Status and separate Room Telephone Bills, etc.
(see sample reports later in this section).
Because the Hotel Operator software runs on the same DCS hardware as the business
software it has the same amount of battery backed RAM to store customer data. By re-
ducing the number of groups or size of tables of some non-hotel related features more of
the RAM was made available to store hotel transaction records. A transaction record is
one line of the guest room bill. The buffer holds 4,000 transaction records. During the
Check Out process the guest’s room bill is printed out then the associated transaction
records are automatically purged from the buffer making space for additional guests trans-
actions.
The following table 6.1 details the limitations applied to the general business feature pack-
age.
