You define once what should happen. After that, it runs by itself.
Set the rule
For example: half board means dinner at 7 pm in the restaurant, full board adds lunch on the terrace.
Shiji books, aleno reserves
The stay and package come from Shiji. aleno creates the reservations automatically.
Everything follows
Extension, cancellation or a new package: you only update the PMS, and the restaurant is up to date right away.
Why Shiji Daylight and aleno work well together
Shiji Daylight is a cloud-based PMS by Shiji Group for hotels and resorts. aleno also runs fully in the cloud. That is why data is available in real time, and aleno takes it to where the guest is sitting: the table.
What changes day to day
Rooms and F&B work together seamlessly, all by themselves.
Hotel guests recognised instantly
Room, package and stay are shown on the reservation. Including whether the guest has already checked out, so no bill is left open.
No more arrivals list
Nobody prints it for the umpteenth time. Whatever changes in Shiji shows up in the restaurant right away.
Automatic, in real time
No manual copying, no forgotten intolerance, no double booking.
In sync with every department
Front desk, concierge, restaurant and kitchen work from the same information. No calls, no notes.
Free tables are really free
No more estimated buffer. Whatever your hotel guests don't need can be booked by outside guests.
Same table for the whole stay
Hotel guests sit at the same table every evening, or you move them to another outlet in the property.
