Aloha POS

Store > Store Settings tab > Hotel group

Select Maintenance > Business > Store to access the Store function. The Store function enables you to configure default system settings for your store. The system automatically creates a store record during the system installation/import process and the function separates options in this record into groups, based on the area of the Aloha POS system affected by your selections. Select the Hotel group located at the bottom of the screen.

Hotel group

A Property Management System (PMS) is a software application that enables hotels to automate such things as their guest reservations, guest check-ins and check-outs, room assignments, room rates, posting of charges, and more. NCR provides an interface that allows the Aloha POS to integrate with the hotel PMS in use, enabling the two systems to share data and improve efficiency. Guests can make purchases in the hotel restaurant, bar, or through room service and seamlessly charge them to their room. Use the Hotel group to enable the PMS interface functions and designate the property management system with which to integrate. This group appears only if you are licensed to use the PMS interface (Hotel + MX) and you select ‘Display property management’ under the ‘Options to display’ group bar in Maintenance > Business > Additional Features (Aloha Manager) or Corporate Administration (CFC).

Reference: Refer to the Aloha PMS Integration Guide for more information on configuring and using a property management system.
