# POS for resorts, small hotels and guesthouses: one till, charged to the room

> beevity lets a resort, a small hotel or a guesthouse sell everything a guest buys during the stay from one till: breakfast and dinner, drinks, massages, a pool lounger. Any bill can be charged to the room with the guest’s signature, and at checkout all of that room’s bills are paid together.

## Why one till for every outlet?

Because the guest is the same person at breakfast, at the spa at ten, by the pool at two and at the bar at eight. With one system all of it lands on one room, the staff are on one list and the night report covers everything.

This works at any size. A beach resort may run a restaurant, two bars, a spa and forty loungers. A guesthouse may have a café and two massage beds. beevity shows each business only the parts it uses.

## How does room charge work?

1. Breakfast, a massage or a round of drinks is on an open ticket.
2. The staff member chooses room charge, enters the room number and the guest’s name, and the guest signs on the tablet.
3. A voucher prints with the signature. The ticket moves to the room’s folio and the table, bed or lounger is free.
4. At checkout the front desk opens the folio for that room and pays all of them at once, with cash, card, QR or transfer, or passes the total to the hotel bill.

Signatures are stored as an image with the bill. The room appears as a customer called “Room 214”, so open amounts show up in the usual reports.

## How does beevity work with your hotel system?

beevity is the till for everything a guest buys, not a property management system. Room reservations, availability and check-in stay in the tool you use today, and beevity takes over from the moment the guest orders something. A connection to hotel booking systems is on the roadmap, so the room number and the guest’s name are filled in for room charge, and the folio total can go back to the hotel bill. [Online booking](/features/online-booking/) for spa treatments and tables is on the roadmap too.

## How are service charge and tips handled?

Service charge is switched on per location, at a rate between 0 and 30%. It is calculated on the total after discount, includes VAT, and prints as its own line on the receipt. Single products can be exempt. It is never part of the commission base.

Tips are kept apart from VAT and commission. When a bill is paid, its tips are shared among the staff on that bill by the value each one served, or equally if you prefer. A tip cannot be counted twice, even if two tablets settle at the same moment.

## What about products from local suppliers?

Consignment goods, such as a local weaver’s sarongs in the spa shop, are marked with the supplier and the cost. The consignment report shows units sold, revenue and the amount owed to each supplier.

### How does room charge work?

### What happens at checkout?
