Creating Room Types and Rooms

To manage your rooms in the Chexta system, you first need to define room types and then create the physical rooms linked to these types. Room types group rooms with similar characteristics, simplifying pricing, channel management and reporting processes.

Adding a New Room Type

Go to the Room Types section in the Settings module and click the Add New Room Type button. Enter a descriptive name in the room type name field. Common room types include Single, Double, Twin, Triple, Suite, Family Room and Deluxe. You can enter the room type name in both Turkish and English; the English name is especially used in the inventory sent to OTA platforms via the channel manager.

Bed Capacity and Occupancy

In the bed capacity section, specify the bed types and quantities in the room. You can define single bed, double bed, extra bed and baby cot options separately. In the occupancy settings, enter the minimum and maximum number of adults, maximum number of children and total capacity limit. This information is used in price calculations and availability queries on OTA platforms.

Floor Information and Room Size

In the floor information field, you can specify the floors where the room type is typically located. This information helps with cleaning route planning in the housekeeping module. Entering the room size in square meters is particularly useful for guests to make comparisons on online sales channels.

Room Amenities

Use the amenities section to define room features. Check amenities such as air conditioning, minibar, safe, balcony, sea view, shower, bathtub, hair dryer, television and wireless internet. These features are displayed both on the room detail page in the system and to guests on the booking engine.

Creating Physical Rooms

After saving the room type, you can create physical rooms linked to this type. Go to the Rooms section and click the Add New Room button. Enter the room number in the room number field according to the numbering system used in your property. Typically, the first digit represents the floor number and the following digits represent the room sequence; for example, 201 means the first room on the second floor. Select the floor information and link the room to the previously defined room type.

To quickly add multiple rooms, you can use the bulk room creation feature. Enter the starting and ending room numbers, select the room type and floor; the system will automatically create all rooms in between. Once the room creation process is complete, each room is added to the system in an active and clean status by default.
