Reservation Booking: Acceptance and Rejection
You can manage online vacancy numbers (capability) for different types of runs, i.e. you define the number of online reservations you can accept (vacancy) for each run and each date. Customers can book reservations on their own based on those vacancies. You can also manually key-in reservations for over-the-phone bookings. Customers will receive an email confirmation within seconds. Email confirmations replaces the complex preparation and guest correspondance via e-mail, fax, or mail. The text for the automatically accepted, rejected, and processing email confirmations can be customized.
There are two basic reservation acceptance modes:
Automatic reservation acceptance: if there is a vacancy the customer will automatically receive a confirmation email.
Manual reservation acceptance: if there is a vacancy the customer will automatically receive saying their reservation is waiting for approval.
There are also two basic types of reservation rejection modes:
Automatic rejection: if there is no vacancy for the requested run type, the customer will automatically receive a rejection email.
Manual reservation rejection: if there is no vacancy for the requested run type, the customer will automatically receive an email saying their reservation is waiting for approval.
