Currently, room reservations can only be made through phone. An online reservation system should be implemented. Once the system is successfully implemented, phone reservations will be made unavailable.
  
• Accounts management: Records daily revenues and expenses. The new system must reduce the average number of monthly errors by 20%.
• Housekeeping system: Checks which rooms require room services and informs housekeeping staffs instantaneously.
  
• Guests' details database: To record guests' particulars and preferences. The new system should improve guests' satisfactory ratings from 65% to 80%.

Honeymoon Inn Background Information

Honeymoon Inn is a small/medium scale accommodation with 5 levels. The inn has 80 rooms in total and approximately 30 staffs. Currently, the inn is still using handwritten documents to record their daily operations. For example, daily check-in/out records and accounts records.

The inn is recently bought over by an ambitious owner who wishes to expand the business. He wants to revamp the current system and make use of an IT system to facilitate daily operations and improve productivity. In order to be sure that the IT system is good enough, he intends to test it on Honeymoon Inn. If the test is a success, he would then be able to use the system on his future expansions.
