Computer is important nowadays. It makes life more convenient and people where able to make work easier and faster. And because of computer, works of man will be more reliable and produce accurate results. This study was made for the purpose of removing manual process that people manipulate and do things that is beneficial to them. Computer stands the one that has an important role in our modern way of life. Hotel reservation system makes it easy to manage their reservation faster and without wasting their time in making reservation.

The propose system can Add, Save, Update, Search, Delete, Print records, and Manage account. They can use it in their working problems. It has a problem in manual recording and filling up information. It will take a lot of time in filling up and writing a lot of data. Some files of the Customer are just stored in a cabinet on the Managers office. The CRO or Authorized person who manages the system will take time to search files when customer wants to verify something. Sometimes other forms of the Customer are lost because of insufficient storage and security. The proponents want to aid the problems of the proposed, a system that can help them and make fast and better services in a Company. This system have being able to make a retrieve and restore data. And it will also provide different fill-up forms for different event reservation.
A hotel reservation system is a software application that is implemented by hotels to allow guests to create secure online reservations.

THE SYSTEM/SOFTWARE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO REPLACE
1. Updating your room rates and availability
Manually:
You spend hours trying for changes in rates and inventory, and it’s not a one-off job. In fact, each time a booking is made on one of your sales channels, you have to make sure your availability is reflected correctly on all of your booking sites.
What’s worse is sometimes you’re not quick enough. Things get really busy and you don’t get a chance to update everything until hours later. You end up with unhappy, double booked guests. You consider hiring an extra person just to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Automatically:
An all-in-one online booking solution like Little Hotelier will have channel management features, giving you one place where you can update your rates and apply stop-sells at a click of a button.
In terms of updating availability, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. Using a pooled inventory model, the system will automatically reduce availability when a room is booked on any one of your sales channels.
All your booking sites will display the right inventory without you having to adjust a thing! There’s no lag time in inventory updates, so double bookings are a thing of the past.
2. Rescheduling guests
Manually:
First of all, the reason you’re rescheduling guests in the first place is probably because you double booked them. Your booking sites didn’t have the correct inventory, and allowed your guest to book at the wrong time.
You try to schedule your guest in for another date – but within that time you received another booking that wasn’t updated on your calendar! So the cycle continues. You have to contact the guest that just booked, apologise profusely, and repeat the process.
Automatically:
Rescheduling guests is easy, because you have full faith that the availability on your reservations calendar is correct and up to date.
With Little Hotelier, to change a booking, all you have to do is drag and drop it to another date or another room and it’s all done! The channel manager then updates your inventory on all the other websites automatically, and in real time. Just like that your rooms become available or unavailable across all of your booking channels.
3. Checking guests in and out
Manually:
You’re scared to leave your desk because you have no idea when your guests are going to check in. Even though you have a bunch of things to do around your property, you know that you can’t afford to have no one greet your guests as they arrive.
Besides the stress of just not knowing, you struggle to organise your daily schedule. Important tasks like cleaning your property get pushed down the list of things to do. If the room isn’t ready, then they’re stuck waiting for it to be prepared. Sometimes, at the moment you do decide to leave your desk, that’s when they need you to check in or out!
Automatically:
First of all, to be efficient, you need to be able to access your reservations calendar remotely from your mobile devices. You don’t need to be physically at your front desk to keep an eye on everything. Just bring your smartphone or tablet with you.
Secondly, your hotel’s booking solution should allow you to request important information like check-in times, no matter what sales channel you’re booking through. If your system is like Little Hotelier’s, you will be able to view and even print out a check-in and check-out view so you can be totally organized and plan out your day!

7. It improves your efficiency as a business
Your availability is updated immediately upon receiving a reservation, not only in your own system, but also across all of your channels. You will save time on administrative tasks while also minimizing the risk of overbooking the rooms at your property
8. It gives you an advantage over your competitors
