Room types
The product you sell — Double, Suite, Bungalow — with its beds, its capacity, its photos and a starting price that everything else builds on.
What it solves
A hotel does not sell individual rooms: it sells types. The guest picks "a sea-view Double", not room 204. When the type is wrong — capacity too high, the wrong beds, an old photo — the problem does not show up in the panel: it shows up at the front desk, with the guest standing there.
You notice it in things like these
- Every agency has its own description of the same room and none matches reality.
- A room gets sold for four people when it really sleeps two.
- Loading the hotel into a new system turns into a week of data entry.
How it works
Physical product and photos, nothing else
Setup asks for what defines the room: beds, capacity, amenities and photos. The price for each occupancy is not decided here — here you only set the "from" price for the base occupancy, and the rest are fine-tuned in Base price without losing what you already entered.
In the currency you charge in
The starting price is in the currency the hotel charges in, not a fixed one. The hotel always gets paid in its local currency; the dollar figure the guest sees in the widget is a reference ("≈ USD 118"), and before paying they are told the charge will arrive in the property's currency.
Quick setup: "10 Doubles at $1,850"
One line creates the draft type, its rooms numbered by floor (101–110, 201…) and its starting price, with the same checks as the three separate screens: hotel cap, per-type allotment, currency and publishing to Channex. Every line is reviewed before anything is created; if the rooms fail the type is rolled back, and if the price fails you are told.
Photos and detail, later
Quick setup leaves the type as a draft. Photos, amenities and the long description are completed in the type page whenever there is time — they do not block the rest of the setup.

What it needs first
Complete property details: address, time zone, check-in and check-out times, and contact. Step 1 of setup validates them on its own and tells you what is missing.
What it does not do yet
The limits, told by us
- The wizard card copy is not translated to English yet; the rest of the screen is.
