Mt Ararat Hotel
Hospitality Digital Modernisation Proposal
Transform Mt Ararat Hotel into a connected digital hospitality operation — combining direct bookings, hotel operations, home-style dining, hospital visitor management, and management visibility into one progressive platform.
From Website to Connected Hotel Operations
The goal is not simply to build a standard brochure website. The true commercial opportunity is connecting direct bookings, front office, housekeeping, restaurant dining, hospital visitor management, and executive oversight into one cohesive operating system.
One Connected Operating Layer Across Mt Ararat Hotel
- • Lost Direct Revenue: Inquiries over informal phone calls risk missed booking opportunities when staff are occupied at reception.
- • Manual Room Logs: Paper ledgers or phone notes can lead to uncertainty regarding room availability, maintenance issues, or early arrivals.
- • Disconnected Dining Billing: Home-style restaurant orders tracked manually can cause room billing delays or unbilled meals at checkout.
- • Corporate & Hospital Invoice Delays: Government delegations and hospital companions requiring official tax receipts face slow manual invoice creation.
- ✓ 24/7 Digital Booking Channel: Guests and provincial organizations book online anytime with instant reference codes and rate transparency.
- ✓ Real-Time Room Management: Reception staff see live room occupancy, clean/dirty inspection states, and scheduled arrivals at a glance.
- ✓ Seamless Dining Room Charging: Restaurant and terrace tabs post directly to the guest folio for instant consolidated checkout.
- ✓ Professional Corporate Tax Billing: Automated generation of PNG tax invoices with BSP/Kina Bank settlement references.
