DEPOSIT POSTING
The credit feature allows any Administrator keyset to add a cash deposit to a room
bill, to offset charges already incurred or to prepay either the room or phone charges
or both. This feature requires a CREDIT key to be assigned to the administration
phones.
GUEST SERVICES BILLING
The guest service billing feature allows a staff member, to enter an item code and
a dollar amount to a specific room bill using specific telephone stations. The dollar
amount entered at time of sale for the item code, can be multiplied by the tax rates
defined for the items or will have the tax amount added if the tax is a fixed dollar
amount.
There are 100 item codes in the system. Each item code can have a name, with up
to 10 characters, programmed to describe the charge.
This feature requires a staff code to be entered to add or delete a charge to a room.
The staff codes are assigned in the Authorization Code table. The staff code will be
verified from the table, and if an incorrect code is entered, an error tone will be
returned and the station will return to idle.
The room number will also be verified, from the list of rooms that are checked in. If
a room number is not occupied, an error tone will be returned and the station will
return to idle.
This feature can be used by either a keyset or a single line telephone with DTMF
dialing.The keyset requires a BILL key. An SLT must be assigned as an Adminis-
trator or Normal type station. Guest room telephones can not use this feature.
LOBBY PHONE SERVICE
This feature allows a hotel operator to bill a call to a guest room even though it was
made at a remote location, such as a lobby phone. This phone can be a dial “0”
type or a Hotline to the operator.
The guest will request the operator to bill an outside call to his/her room. The op-
erator will press the Remote Bill key (RB) and place the guest on transfer hold, then
enter the guest’s room number and receive confirmation tone. The operator can
then access a trunk (or LCR) and hang up, passing outside dial tone to the guest.
Or the operator can dial the number for the guest and transfer the ringing call back
to the guest.
PRINTED REPORTS
The DCS Hotel / Motel software will provide various printed reports of selected
activities throughout the system. These reports are initiated from any administrator’s
keyset display and sent to a printer connected to a serial interface module (SIM).
