Room charges

Every order goes on the room bill, paid once at check-out

Guests order the way they use the minibar: nothing to pay at the door, no card on the phone. Roomtray keeps a running list of delivered orders for each room, and reception settles it when the guest leaves.

How a charge is created

An order becomes a charge only after it is delivered. Orders that were rejected or cancelled never reach the bill. The price is the one the guest saw at the moment of ordering, even if you changed the menu later that evening.

If you charge a service fee for room delivery, it is added to each order and shown on the bill as a separate line.

What reception sees

The Room charges page lists every room with unsettled orders: room number, guest, number of orders, total and the time of the oldest order. Open a room to see each order with its dishes.

  • Print one bill for the stay, with your logo
  • Copy the total into your PMS or till as one line
  • Mark the room as settled, and its orders leave the list

Mistakes can be undone

Settled the wrong room? For 24 hours you can undo the settlement and the orders return to the room as unsettled. After that the record is closed, so the history of a stay does not change weeks later.

The hotel dashboard warns when delivered orders are waiting on rooms for a long time, so a guest does not leave with an unpaid dinner.

Roomtray never touches the money

Payment happens at your reception, by card or in cash, together with the room. There is no payment provider in between and no commission on orders. Every euro from room service stays with the hotel.

Questions

Questions about this

Another question? Write to us at [email protected]

Does the guest pay in the app?

No. The order goes on the room, and the guest pays at check-out with the rest of the stay. Roomtray does not process payments.

Does it connect to our PMS?

Not directly yet. Reception prints the bill from Roomtray and adds the total to the PMS or till as one line. That takes about a minute per room.

What if a guest disputes an order?

Each order shows when it was placed, who accepted it and when it was delivered. You can see the whole history before you settle the room.

Are room charges included in Free?

Yes. Room charges and the printable bill are in both plans.
