Amenity Bookings (and other features!) You’ll Need This Holiday Season

The holidays are just around the corner. Are you ready? Your residents might already be thinking about hosting their own parties. Managing a party-sized number of visitors to any condo community can add a significant amount of work to your already-busy front desk staff. Here are some important things to keep in mind this summer season.

1. Book Early: suggest the party room or other common area for a holiday soiree. Remind residents to submit their online booking requests early via the Amenity Bookings form.

2. Check the Guest List: submit visitor names to concierge or front desk security with the Entry Instructions form. This will save time and headache for both residents and staff as guests begin to arrive.

3. Parking: encourage residents to pre-print their parking passes using either the at-home option or by requesting that front desk provide the passes. Guests will be pleased that this is already taken care of when they arrive.

4. Party Permits: if your resident has decided to host their party in a common area, do they require alcohol permits? Help them (and yourself!) by being on top of what is required in terms of licensing, permits, and any other legal documents for hosting a party in a public space.

5. Coat Check: don’t be stuck without a pre-determined place to keep coats and bags. Make sure there is a secure coatroom available to guests who are attending parties in common areas. Tip: build this important security presence into the cost of booking the party room.

Multiple Simultaneous Amenity Bookings

As the social distancing restrictions are now loosened, pools and gyms begin to open. One challenge faced by many property managers is the ability to limit occupancy.

Our amenity booking feature gives residents the ability to book timeslots for facilities that didn’t necessarily require reservations in the past. This includes pools, gyms and other fitness areas, and BBQs.

Each amenity can be easily configured with its’ own rules: when it can be booked, for how long, by how many, how far in advance, and by whom. Manage everything online and never worry about a double-booking and follow social distancing rules!
