Welcome to Chexta: First Steps

Chexta is a cloud-based hotel management system (PMS) that enables accommodation properties to manage all operational processes on a single platform. It allows you to control everything from front office operations to housekeeping, restaurant POS management to accounting integration, all from a centralized panel. This guide has been prepared for users logging into the system for the first time.

Logging In

To log in, simply enter the Chexta URL assigned to your property in your browser's address bar. On the login screen that appears, enter the username and temporary password provided to you. On your first login, the system will ask you to change your temporary password. Your new password must be at least eight characters long and contain uppercase letters, lowercase letters and numbers. After setting your password, you will be directed to the main screen.

Main Menu and Modules

The Chexta interface is managed via the main menu bar at the top. This menu contains the following modules in order: General, Front Office, Calendar, Room Status, Front Cashier, Accounting, POS, Tasks, Reports, Channel and Settings. Each module has its own sub-menu and functionality. The General module covers the dashboard screen, the Front Office module covers reservations and guest operations, the Calendar module covers the occupancy calendar, the Room Status module covers housekeeping and cleaning tracking, the Front Cashier and Accounting modules cover financial operations, the POS module covers restaurant operations, the Tasks module covers task management, the Reports module covers all analyses and reports, the Channel module covers OTA connections and the Settings module covers system configuration.

In the upper right corner of the screen you will find the logged-in user's name, the notification icon and the quick settings button. By clicking the notification icon, you can track instant notifications such as new reservations, room status changes and task assignments.

Browser Compatibility

Chexta delivers the best performance on the latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Safari browsers. Your browser must have JavaScript enabled and allow cookies. Access from mobile devices is also possible; however, a desktop or laptop computer is recommended for the full-screen experience. A stable internet connection is important, especially for real-time updates and channel manager synchronization.

After completing your first login successfully, you can prepare the system for use by defining your hotel information, room types and rate plans from the Settings module. Detailed guides for each of these steps are available within the Knowledge Center.
