How to create a new booking

Clock PMS+ allows you to create bookings through various operating screens. We will examine each of the options and the specifics you need to take into consideration.

Through the Rate and Availability screen

Rate and Availability is an operating screen providing the fastest way to check the availability in a certain period along with the valid prices at which a client can book. 

To access the screen, from the navigation bar, select Availability->Rate and Availability. To check the availability and the prices, and create a booking, follow these steps:

• Enter the parameters of the specific enquiry - arrival and departure dates. If your prices depend on the number of guests, enter the number of adults and children, as well as the children's ages for a more precise calculation of the price (1). 
• Run a search clicking the 'Check Availability' (2) button.
• From the shown results, select a room type and price to create the booking through the 'Book' button.

• The booking screen will open. All parameters selected on the 'Rate and Availability' screen will automatically be populated. 
• To finish the booking, you need to enter the contact info. To do so, enter the guest's details (4) or info of the contact person (5), making the booking.
• Save the booking through the 'Create' create button.
