booking. The reservation procedure differs determining on the size and
brand of the hotel.
RESERVATION INQUIRY
The reservation process begins with an inquiry when the guest makes a call
for a reservation the first process is to register as an inquiry. During a call,
reservation staff go through a process of question and answer where he
leads a quick question-answer segment with the guest to gather information
about reservations that guests want to make. The points which need to
collect during the process are:

The next most major step in the reservation process is checking the
availability of the room. During this process, need to check what kind or
type of room, number of pax, and which date the guest has requested then

The people travel from one country or city to another for various reasons i.e.
business trips or vacation for this they require an accommodation to stay.
Therefore they reserve a room through different sources as per their
convenience.
1) Direct
The guests directly contact the hotel for booking a room especially when the
guest doesn’t require any third party to book a room.
2) Travel Agent
The guest book a room through a travel agent, this is mostly preferred by a
group of people who are traveling.
3) Corporate

After checking the availability of the room, reservation staff will be in a
position to accept or deny the reservation made by the guest. If a specific
type of room is available for a date that the guest has requested for selling
then we can accept the booking and block a room.
If the room is not available for a specific day then reservation staff have to
deny or he can suggest any other alternative days or different room
categories, if the guest wants the same room which he requested for a
specific day then you can suggest other hotels with similar facilities.
The reservation staff will register the necessary require details in the system
of the guest who will arrive.

The reservation confirmation letter is sent to a guest by email, telephone, or
fax this will give the guest a guarantee of reservation of the room on arrival.
During this process, need to file and record the actual reservation details
and if working in an exceedingly computerized system then the record will
be maintained in a printed form of reservation. The documentation is
maintained as per the date of arrival and subsequently pledges to the
surname of the guest.
During this process, details are modified which are recorded in the
reservation form. In such a scenario, reservation staff attaches a different
evaluation or correction form from the original one.
The Reservation reports are been generated for the benefit of serving or it
helps the management to know the daily forecast.

Most restaurants do not charge a customer who fails to honor their
reservations, and courts have tended not to impose substantial penalties on
restaurants that fail to honor reservations. Nonetheless, it is generally
considered polite to call and cancel a reservation once it is known one will
not use it.
Benefits
Nowadays it has become common for fine dining restaurants to offer table
reservations to their clients. In fact, this service has become an integral part
of a restaurant's operation, because of its multiple benefits. Even though
there are still types of restaurants that prefer the modality of first-come, first
served, the majority of fine dining and casual restaurants organize their
operation through table reservations. As it has become part of restaurants’
service to offer reservations, clients are tending more and more towards
making use of this offer, and for some people, it has become mandatory to
make a table reservation before going out to a restaurant since there are
also benefits for the client in this type of service.
Benefits to restaurants
A restaurant will weigh the advantages and the disadvantages of offering the
service of table reservations to its customers, and even though there is a
cost involved in this service, the benefits it offers will outweigh all the
disadvantages one may consider.

Table reservations are also a handy tool in competitive markets since it
makes it possible for restaurants to “steal” some market share from its
competition. This occurs when clients are not able to get a reservation at
their “first choice” restaurant and they decide to go to their “second choice”
restaurant, where they are able to get a reservation.
Benefits to clients
A client will always benefit from being able to make a table reservation at the
restaurant to which he wishes to go. Nowadays, the majority of people prefer
to go out knowing that they have a reservation, instead of incurring the risk
of not getting a table at the desired place.
A clear benefit of making a table reservation for a client is the security that
they will experience when going out to a restaurant.; i.e., making a
reservation will guarantee the client that he will receive his table at the time
and place he has planned.
It is an advantage for the customer to know in advance that he will not have
to go through the trouble of waiting until a table is available, or being put on
a waiting list, or in the worst case, needing to find another place to eat,
because the one chosen won't be able to serve him.

These benefits arise from a wide range of management tools provided by
online reservation systems, like operational reports, floor management
software, customer reservation histories, and customer databases that
include customer data and preferences, and grow with each new table
booking. Restaurants will also be able to track cancellations, and manage
walk-in and waitlists in a better way, eliminate overbookings, and create
target email and postal mailings with the information from the customer
database. Some online reservation systems include integrated email
marketing tools.
Disadvantages[
Reservations can cause logistical issues for venues. For example, paper-and-
pencil reservations can lead to overbooking if performed incorrectly.
Although point-of-sale (POS) systems and online systems provide solutions
to this issue, overbooking can still occur for reasons such as
miscommunication between multiple staff members. Additionally, if a venue
is constantly fully booked, it may deter new customers from trying to book a
reservation in the future.
Guests who create reservations but neither cancel nor show up pose a
significant financial risk to restaurants, leading to overstaffing and loss of
business from potential paying customers.
