When you're out and about and receive a call for a reservation, you don't need to rush back to your office computer. With your Online Calendar, you can easily add a new booking on the move using any smartphone, tablet, or web browser - keeping your calendar up to date wherever you are.
Here is a simple, step-by-step guide to adding a booking when you're away from your desk.
1. Log into the NightsBridge HOME
Open your web browser and sign in to your NightsBridge HOME account. You don't need your office computer or installed software to do this.
Need some guidance? Check our our guide, How to log into your NightsBridge Home.
2. Go to your Online Calendar
Once you are signed in, click on Go to Calendar to view your live calendar.
3. Pick your dates and room
On your calendar grid, locate the room your guest would like to book.
- Click once on the guest's arrival date,
- and then click again on their departure date.
The dates of their stay will be highlighted for you.
Then click the Add Booking button.
4. Tell us who is staying
Start typing the guest's first name, surname, or company name into the guest field.
A Handy Time-Saving Shortcut: If the guest has stayed with you before, their profile will automatically pop up in a drop-down list! Selecting their existing profile saves you from retyping their details and prevents creating duplicate guest profiles.
If they are a brand new guest, simply pop in their name, email address, and phone number.
5. Need to add another room?
If the guest wants to book more than one room, click Select Room/Unit to view your list of available rooms and room types, then select the extra room you'd like to attach.
It will be added to the booking.
If you ever need to remove a room from the booking, simply click the remove button alongside that room
6. Finalise the details
Take a quick moment to double-check that your setup is correct:
- The selected room
- The applied rate plan
- The number of guests for the room
- Once everything looks right, click Add Booking. This will open up the full Booking Details screen.
7. View the rates
If you would like to review the exact rates for the booking:
- Inside the Booking Details window, click View Payment Status & Booking History.
The Bookings and Payment Status page will open in a new tab.
- Click on the Booking Details heading to expand the section.
- You will see the applied rates clearly displayed right under the booking details.
8. Save and secure
Return to the Booking Details tab.
- Click Save at the bottom of the screen.
- and the X to close the Booking Details window.
That's it! Your new booking will now sit proudly on your calendar.
What about your office calendar?
You can breathe easy knowing that your changes update automatically across the web. Connected booking channels receive the new availability details right away, and your office calendar will update as soon as your NightsBridge software is synchronised.
