Biodux PMS

Hotel Front Desk Software: A front desk that doesn’t need a notebook beside the computer.

Biodux PMS gives your receptionists one screen for the whole stay: the guest profile, check-in, the registration card, room moves and check-out. Each guest has a record that remembers their last visit, their company and whether they’re allowed to charge to their room.

A real situation

Monday morning, 11:45

Six guests want to check out before noon, two walk-ins are waiting for rooms, and a regular from Port Harcourt is asking why his corporate rate isn’t showing. The receptionist has one pair of hands.

In Biodux, the regular’s profile already has his company and rate. Checkout closes each bill, or pushes the balance to the company’s account in one step. If someone tries to sell a room housekeeping hasn’t released, the system says so and logs it.

What it does

  • Guest profiles

    Contact details, company, credit limit, bed-and-breakfast and charge-to-room flags, passport details and a blacklist flag. Check in or reserve straight from the profile (F5).

  • Check-in and walk-ins

    Check in from a reservation or as a walk-in, with half-day stays, a multi-currency estimate and VAT and service charge shown up front.

  • Registration card

    Print the GR card for the guest to sign, with your hotel’s name, logo and details from the licence.

  • Room moves

    Move a guest with the reason and the room’s condition noted. If you use key cards, the door lock is updated too.

  • Clean checkouts

    Close the bill, or move the balance to the city ledger, the guest’s company or their group. Cancels the key card on the way out.

  • No selling dirty rooms

    Receptionists are warned before checking anyone into a room housekeeping hasn’t released, and any override is logged.

  • House lists

    In-house guests by individual or company, the breakfast list with covers per room, departures, overdue guests and the luggage report.

  • Account notes

    Print polite letters asking in-house guests to settle their balance by noon.

  • Guest search and history

    Find anyone by name, company, phone, email or stay dates. See past stays and your top-spending guests, and export contacts for your own marketing.

FAQ

Front desk: common questions

Can a guest’s company pay for the room while the guest pays for extras?

Yes. Keep extras on a separate bill and transfer the room balance to the company’s account at checkout. Both bills print cleanly.

What stops staff from selling a room that isn’t ready?

Biodux checks the housekeeping status at check-in. Selling a room that hasn’t been released needs a deliberate override, and the override is recorded with the user’s name.

Can we blacklist a guest?

Yes, from the profile or at checkout. The flag shows the next time anyone tries to check that guest in, and there is a blacklisted guests report.

How long does it take to train receptionists?

Most front desk staff are comfortable within a day or two of hands-on training. We train your team on site as part of setup.
