However, this does not guarantee an interface to your property’s particular model of RDP software.  In addition, these peripheral interfaces often require a dedicated interface bridge computer.

Booking Engine – Internet Reservation Module (IRM)

RDP’s Internet Reservation Module enables your property to reach online guests and travel agents.  For example, potential guests can find your Internet home page from home or work, search for an available room, and make a reservation directly with your hotel or rental property.

Features include:

  • Guest in-room Internet with wired or wireless connection

Housekeeping Telephone

Point-of-Sale (POS)

RDP has interfaced to a wide variety of point-of-sale systems with the following features:

  • Automatically post charges to the guest folio from a restaurant, bar, spa, golf course, gift shop, etc.
  • Provide an inquire first capability when your POS system supports this feature.  For example, a clerk in the restaurant can first inquire to see who is in Room 102, prior to posting a charge.
  • Optional pre-check-in posting is available for all POS interfaces using the Micros standard.  For example, a guest may arrive at the property at noon, but the room is not ready until 4:00pm.  The guest can put a credit card on file and start charging items immediately using their reservation number as verification.
  • Optional post-check-out posting is available for all POS interfaces using the Micros standard.  For example, a guest may checkout at noon but still use the facilities for the rest of the day and charge items, which are then paid for by the credit card on file.

See Point of Sale Interface Supported Vendor List.

In-Room Movie with Video Checkout

Posts charges from various in-room movie systems to the guest folio.  With the Enhanced Movie Interface installed, guests can view folio transactions on their television and check-out of the RDP system.  Guests with a valid credit card on file can process their own check-outs through the movie system without visiting the front desk.  Once the guest is checked out through the Enhanced Movie Interface, RDP’s availability is immediately updated and the room is marked dirty and vacant for the housekeeping department.

Intelity ICE
