All previous reservation, no-shows, cancellations and current-in-house information are in the history tab. It is possible to view Year To Date information on total Revenue produced by the guest as well as accumulated membership points.

MERGE

NOTES
In this section, record extensive notes about a guest. Most of these are on the profile only, but Reservation Notes have the ability to move to every reservation made by this guest. In this way, guest’s special requirements can be accessible at any time.
