This is a good use of that reminders tab. All I use it for right now is if I have packages that need items to be purchased. But having the dietary info in there would save a lot of time.I use SuperInn and manually add reservations if made by phone to superinn like you would to webervations. However, I do have an index card on each guest as a backup plan - that card has vital info as well as dietary/beverage choices. These are stored by year in alpha order but I use just one card per guest, multiple visits. I also keep an appointment book (week at a glance) - I like to handle paper, can you tell?... it's extra work, but I trust it. I paperclip the index card to matching week. Giving up the paper system is going to be a tough one for me... where do you store the little bits of info on the guest like food dislikes, allergies... and how do you access that info - by going into your computer system before breakfast each morning?.I am also using Superinn. I don't do the index cards anymore but after every reservation comes through online or if I book it by phone I go and print out the registration form which has all their vital information on it. The only thing I staple is the credit card slip to it. I file those by date order so that I always have a hard copy. Any food allergies or other inportant information I need I add to the "reminders" button on Superinn. The reminder Tab will then turn Yellow. Every day when I log in and click on #7 Today Guest List it will show all those food allergy notes on one page and what times the guests are supposed to check in. I often will check these a few days ahead of time just so I have it in my mind that someone will have a certain allergy to something. When the guest checks in I have the filed registration forms pulled out for them to sign at check-in. They are then refiled again.greyswan said:where do you store the little bits of info on the guest like food dislikes, allergies... and how do you access that info - by going into your computer system before breakfast each morning?
