Streamline Easter Arrivals - Set up online check-in

A friendly reminder about online check-in, to help with what looks to be a busy Easter period. To speed up your check-in process and provide a seamless guest experience we suggest you utilise our online check-in feature. 

Online check-in will capture the guests arrival time and drivers licence (or passport) and attach it to their booking in Resly. The guest also has to accept your terms of stay and complete a COVID declaration.  

Here is the article to walk you through the set up.

New partnership with Escabags

Hi All, we are happy to announce we have partnered with Escabags, an Australian registered charity helping victims of domestic and family abuse. 

The initiative provides free 'Escape Bags' filled with the necessities that a victim may need when initially escaping an abusive or dangerous situation. 

Our partnership has been formed to help get 'Escape Bags' in as many hotels as possible across the country. 

There is no cost to be part of this initiative. The 'Escape Bags' themselves do not need to be on display; they can be kept safely in an office or cupboard. All that we ask is that you kindly display a small poster at reception or on a noticeboard to ensure those in your community are aware that you have them available should a victim require one.

The 'Escape Bags' are provided complete and will be sent via our courier partner, so there is absolutely no cost to you. 

If you are happy to become a stockist, please fill in your details here and we will send you a box of 4 bags. 

Thank you for getting behind this great cause. 

Average Charges Report

Some of you might find these stats interesting. The average cleaning and commission charges for the Sunshine Coast and TNQ. As we continue to expand we will hopefully have more data points to look at and share. 


Buy now, pay later EOI

We are in talks with some Buy Now, Pay Later providers, think AfterPay. We would like to gage our users interest in this as a potential payment offering for direct bookings. 

  • Offer guests flexible payment when booking direct. Payment split over 4 - 6 weekly payments
  • No risk for the hotels, You’ll get paid right away while customers spread the cost and provider takes the debt risk. 
  • Improve direct booking offerings by having a flexible payment option
  • Increased average booking value/length of stay due to interest free payment option. 
  • Low merchant fees, will be around 1% 
  • Completely integrated within Resly, so no extra or manual work for Buy now, Pay Later bookings. 

Please comment or use the smiley faces if you are interested in something like this. 

2021 rates and restrictions

Just a reminder that your 2021 Christmas and NYE dates will be open and bookable, given the 365 rolling date range. If you haven't looked at your Dec rates and restrictions already, please do so. 

Collecting, storing and providing details for COVID tracing

With the recent announcement to ban paper check-ins, we would like to remind users how to utilise Resly for capturing and storing information should you need to provide it to relevant authorities. 

Encourage guest to use online check-in. This process will capture the lead guests' ID and store it against their booking in Resly. It will also validate their email or mobile number to ensure their contact details are correct. A standard COVID declaration is required to be completed during the online check-in process. 

All details captured from online check-in are stored against the guests booking in Resly. 

Providing details to authorities. Go to Reservations > Reservations List > and simply export a CVS file selecting all the required information.

If any guests are unreachable or their details are incorrect, you have a copy of their ID on the profile which you can share with authorities. 

 

If you haven't set up online check-in yet, please read this article. Once activated, you can create a dummy booking with your own contact details (mobile number and email) and test it. 

Updating rates and restrictions

A friendly reminder that rates and restrictions should be updated in Resly PMS, not in Resly Connect. 

Rule of thumb - Resly PMS should be the source of truth. 

Bulk update - Best for updating multiple rate plans for a bulk period of dates.

Yearly view - Best for updating a single rate plan based on season dates or for a full year. 

Changes to single dates can be made below in the rate plan by just clicking on the date and overriding the value.
