Frequently asked questions.
A hotel front desk, such as Little Hotelier, is part of a hotel management system that provides a single place to manage the operational side of your property. This includes reservations, check in and check out, room rates, occupancy, housekeeping, guest communications and payments, as well as guest acquisition with channel management and direct bookings.
Essentially, yes a front desk system is another name for a property management system (PMS). Front desk system is usually used in reference to smaller accommodation providers who are looking to take their property management online and make day-to-day processes easier. Property management systems are usually used in reference to larger hotels who are more sophisticated. However the basic features and functions are the same.
A hotel front desk brings together all of your systems into one online platform to help you simplify and automate your day to day tasks. It enables you to eliminate manual processes which can be performed much quicker and autonomously with a front desk system.

Getting started and set up with Little Hotelier’s front desk begins with your free trial. Depending on the plan you choose, you will either enter an online sign-up process and or be connected with a professional onboarding specialist. The online sign-up process is quick and easy, since you’ll be assisted by a ‘wizard’ that takes you through step-by-step instructions. Once through the initial stages, the most helpful aspect will be your smartguide – make sure to look out for it. This will ensure you understand what to do next and make the most of your new software. To make the process even smoother, make sure you have prepared photos of your property and rooms, a list of your room types, and other important information about your property such as contact details.
Support is available to you 24/7 during and after your front desk setup. Depending on the plan you choose you’ll have access to email and online chat, or dedicated phone support on top of that.
