can I use iPad for a new small hotel that I am opening, same kind of style that Hyatt Hotels is using already. What are the costs?

Hello, Angelo,

I would suggest that you contact a consultant or VAR (Value-Added Reseller) who deals with hotel management systems and discuss your needs. Other than pointing you to the prices for the iPad itself, it's doubtful that anyone here can, or would, be able to address this question in a technical support forum. Whether or not any software exists for the iPad for this sort of use, or whether you'd have to pay for something to be developed for you, I do not know.

Regards.

You may find that what you want is not available on an iPad but on a Windows or Mac computer. To save on cost you could use a remote access app to remotely control the computer.

Another solution may have a web front end which can be used through a web browser. You could then use Safari on on the iPad for accessing it, as long as it does not require java or other plug-ins.

Hi Angelo

I work for a Hospitality technology company in the UK and have a Hotel Management System that runs on the iPad. The technology is 100% web-based and runs on Mac/Safari/iPad seamlessly (no jave/plug-ins requried!). Of course, with this technology other benefits include very small start-up costs, no server hardware to maintain or support at the hotel etc. Everything you would expect from cloud technology.

The software is developed for small hotels looking to get the benefit of technology that larger businesses can afford. This includes comission free reservations from your websites and facebook pages, plus connectivity to booking agents such as booking.com, or GDS channels.

Please do email me on james.bishop@acornsolutions.com if you would like a demonstration of the software or need to find out more details.

Regards,

James Bishop
