Run your front desk with
less effort

Small hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs and similar properties that are running the front desk on paper, a spreadsheet or a booking calendar today and want one simple system instead. It suits a team of a few people who need check-in, housekeeping and payments to work reliably rather than a system with rate strategy and channel distribution built in. If you already run a full PMS, PMS Lite is a step sideways rather than forward.

Check-in and check-out, room allocation, housekeeping status, payments and the daily front desk routine, all in one web interface with nothing to install. Not included: automated rate management, OTA channel distribution and multi-department accounting – those sit in PMS Core and PMS All-in-One. Knowing the boundary up front is the point, because a small property that outgrows front desk software usually does so on rate management first.

Yes – that is the situation it is designed for. Properties moving off paper, a wall planner or a shared spreadsheet get the biggest immediate gain, because the wins are basic ones: no double-booked rooms, housekeeping seeing room status without being told, and payments recorded against the right stay. Starting here is also the lower-risk path, since there is no legacy data model to migrate and no existing workflow to unpick.

Yes. Room status is managed directly in the system – clean, dirty or closed – and housekeeping lists are generated from it, so the front desk and the cleaning team are reading the same information instead of relying on a printed sheet and a phone call. For a small property this is often the single biggest daily time saving, because it removes the check-in delay caused by not knowing whether a room is ready.

Faster than any other tier, because there is less to configure and usually less to migrate. A property coming off paper or a spreadsheet has no legacy data model to reconcile – room types, rates and current bookings are entered, the team is shown the daily routine, and that is the setup. VISIT supports configuration and training through to go-live, and will give you a dated plan before you commit.

Checking a paper list to see whether a room is ready. Re-typing a booking that arrived by email into a calendar. Working out at the end of the week which guests actually paid. Each of those happens once in the system instead of two or three times on paper, and the daily front desk routine stops depending on whoever happens to be on shift remembering the arrangement.
