Point of Sale (POS) Interface with seamless PMS integration
Connect MyPMS to an EMV device or preferred Point of Sale System (POS) to post direct to the Guest folio.
The MyPMS system provides basic POS (point of sale) function, capable of handling bars, small restaurants, or gift shops. There is no additional fee to use it, and for basic needs, the ‘Charge’ and ‘Payments’ process of using the House Account works fine for ‘cash’ customers, while managing via the folio works great for ‘in-house’ guests. The MyPMS can connect to just about any Mac, Windows, Android, or iOS-based POS printer, delivering thermal, impact, or laser printed receipts from the ‘cash’ transaction.
When you need a truly robust POS system for food & beverage or retail sales, then you exceed the reach of the BookingCenter POS system and then should look into a full fledged POS.
We connect to over 80 major Restaurant, Bar, and Gift Shop POS Systems such as Micros, Aloha, Squirrel, Digital Dining, etc. Get a Merchant Account for credit card interfacing with a seamless connection to your POS or EMV hardware. You can also sell Packages!
Restaurant, Bar, and Gift Shop Point of Sale Systems
Our Point of Sale (POS) interface enables your preferred Point of Sale System (POS) to connect with MyPMS and record transactions directly onto the Guest folio.
BookingCenter interfaces to over 80 major Restaurant, Bar, and Gift Shop Point of Sale systems such as, Micros, Aloha, Squirrel, Digital Dining, etc. via our Guest Services Module.
We also support the ‘unofficial’ Micros x700 interface model for interfacing directly to devices that support it. New Android and iOS (iPhone/iPad) systems are often supported, so if you have a desired system to work with. ask us how.
POS and EMV Hardware
BookingCenter does not require you to select a specific vendor for merchant services, you have flexibility and we support over 80 currencies. If your property is automating, and the guest uses their own device for their payment (either at booking, pre-arrival, or at check-in), then the option for merchant processing are nearly limitless as we can work equally well with TSYS, Vital, VisaNet, Heartland, Global, Stripe, AuthorizeNet, or any of their subsidiaries.
The EMV requirement for traditional hotel operations, where your staff handles the guest credit card for payment, recommends an EMV terminal to protect your business from charge backs. For EMV accounts, we have 3 choices of merchant processing: BookingCenter Payments (our partnership with VersioPay); TSYS (a part of the Global family); or Stripe. See details on hardware supported by these companies here.
Sell Add-ons and Packages
Add-on's
From your website, or via Self Check-in and Self Check-out, you can offer Items for sale as an ‘up-sale’. Experience shows that users are MORE likely to buy Extras after completing an online booking or from their own device, as opposed to a ‘sales person’. Thus, sales of Items online often surpass those made ‘off-line’ at your facility.
Each Item has its own image and description so that you can make a full-featured sell. Upon purchase online, these Items are added to the Folio/Account as if you had done it yourself. And if a Guest is performing Self Check-in and/or Self Check-out, the payment happens automatically approved by the Guest. A great merchandising solution!
Packages
Sell Packages containing combinations of Rooms and Inventory Items either on your website or through the Global Booking Network. Packages are an important part of profitable online transactions, usually providing a higher margin of profit to the lodging and a better experience to your Guest. Watch how Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz are engaging Packages on their sites, and realize why this is a preferred way to plan – and sell – travel. Ask us how to take advantage of Packages now.
