...Hotel Management System We have been operating a local hotel for years, successfully, without the use of a computer system to automate many of our day-to-day tasks. Up to this point our current manual system has been acceptable. Lately, because of pressure from many of the large hotel chains moving into our area and our recent expansion (100 rooms), the management of the hotel without an automated system has become an unwieldy task. We would like to automate many of the common tasks of the hotel staff and management. We have been able to break the tasks we would like to automate down in to three major categories. The first is a reservation and booking system to help keep track of reservations and room availability. The second category is the tracking and selling of food. The third is our general management services and automated tasks the system should handle. Most of our day-to-day work involves the making of reservations. Customers call our representative to place reservations. These reservations should be recorded in the new management system. Some of the information we would like to capture concerning these reservations is first name, last name, number of occupants, assigned room, default room rate, phone number, whether or not the room is guaranteed, credit card number, confirmation number, automatic cancellation date, expected check-in date and time, actual check-in date and time, expected check-out date and time, actual check-out date and time, and customer...

...ABSTRACT As the name specifies “HOSTEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM” is a software developed for managing various activities in the hostel. For the past few years the number of educational institutions are increasing rapidly. Thereby the number of hostels are also increasing for the accommodation of the students studying in this institution. And hence there is a lot of strain on the person who are running the hostel and software’s are not usually used in this context. This particular project deals with the problems on managing a hostel and avoids the problems which occur when carried manually. Identification of the drawbacks of the existing system leads to the designing of computerized system that will be compatible to the existing system with the system Which is more user friendly and more GUI oriented. We can improve the efficiency of the system, thus overcome the drawbacks of the existing system.

...International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) The ISO 9001 certificate is a proof that a company is functioning in compliance with all international and national quality standards and that it regularly surveys the quality system that have been included in its business practice. The implementation of Quality Management System ISO 9001 in a hotel demands a lot of paperwork; it is time consuming and increases additional costs. In a research carried out by Adanur–Allen (1995), he stated that the main advantages of a successfully implemented ISO 9000 are improved business efficacy, greater consumer satisfaction and improved competitiveness. Since customers are very demanding when it comes to the quality of service in the hotel industry, organisations are competing to become quality leaders through ISO. The adoption of a quality management system should be a strategic decision of an organization. The design and implementation of an organization's quality management system is influenced by * a) its organizational environment, changes in that environment, and the risks associated with that environment, * b) its varying needs, * c) its particular objectives, * d) the products it provides, * e) the processes it employs, * f) its size and organizational structure.
