Scope of a Project

Executive Summary
JINA system is a hotel management system which not only has the basic
functions (check-in and check-out) commonly focuses in the traditional hotel
management system, but also has something different from the traditional hotel
management system.
In the traditional hotel management system, reservation is done by hotel,
therefore agents are used to send fax which include the guest’s name, room type,
check in and check-out dates to hotel for making a room booking, then agents must
wait until hotel send back a fax to confirm the booking. This will make the daily
work inefficiently.
In JINA hotel management system, similar to the traditional hotel management
system, it can handle the check in and check out. And the housekeeper can update the
room situation any time so that receptionist can search the available room for guests
easily. Besides this, housekeeper, cashier and laundry staff can also update the
various charges to the guests’ folio. But the selling points in JINA hotel management
system are reservation and web booking. In reservation, agents can do the
reservation themselves, they only use to send the booking information to the
database, so that they do not need to send the fax and wait for the confirmation all the
time. This not only makes their daily works to be done more smoothly, but also
reduce the use of paper-based documents. Web booking is a common way of booking
nowadays. In the JINA system, guests can use their e-mail and password to make
their own account. This account can let guests to see how many booking they had
made before, room rate on weekday, weekend and public holiday. Besides these
basic functions, guests can have some specific discount if they had made room
booking over specific times which depend on the hotel strategy.

Background
Winning Company is a traditional hotel, which has no any computer system to
handle the daily work. It has 10 floors with 100 rooms, besides these, it also has
health center, casino, sauna, nightclub, Chinese and European restaurant. There are
about 500 employees in the hotel, about 350 of them are housekeeping and waiters
and the rest are in the other departments: reception, reservation, accounting, personal
department, Food & Beverage department, sales department and the engineering
department. And the 150 of the employees will include the directors and managers.

Operation
For the reservation department, when they receive the fax or phone call from
agent, they can only mark down the booking by hand in the record book. And for the
reception department, when a guest come to check in, they can only check the record
book which pass from reservation to find whether the guest has made the booking or
not. When a guest wants to check out, receptionists need to sum up the room rental
with the 10% service charge and 5% tourism tax. Cashiers in Food & Beverage
Department and the staffs of the Laundry Department need take the guest bill to
Front Office all the time because they can’t transfer the total amount of the bill
through the computer. The housekeepers in Housekeeping Department, they can
only update the room situation by telling the receptionist using telephone. All these
working processes make the daily work inefficiency.

Problems
1. In the reception department, the booking records are often duplicated or lost.
2. If a walk in guest comes to check in, receptionists may just give him a room but
which may be already blocked or unclean.
3. A walk in guest’s name may be the same as the others; receptionists may
misunderstand that this guest has already made the booking and give him a room.
4. Because receptionists are used to check the booking records all the time, so it
will make the daily work inefficiently especially in the peak period.
5. After confirming the guest the booking, receptionists will search an available
room, but the room situation can not be always updated by housekeeper.
6. Receptionists will request all guests to pay the deposit when they check in; also
they will pay the deposit back to the guests when they check out. But they can’t
print a report to check whether the cash or credit cards on hand are correctly or
not.
7. When handling the check out process, if cashiers and laundry staff forget to take
the bill to the Front Office, receptionists are unable to check those miscellaneous
charges, so as to cause the loss.
8. Customers are difficult to get the hotel information at any time they want,
especially the overseas guests.
9. Managers need to send the memo about the update room rate to each
departments and agents all the time because they can’t update the rate by using
computer.

DEADLY THINKING OF A STUDENT

A father passing by his Son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the center of the bed. It was addressed to "Dad" With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:
Dear Dad,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you.I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with mom and you. I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice-even with all her piercing's, tattoo's, and her tight Motorcycle clothes.
But it's not only the passion dad, she's pregnant and Joan said that we will be very happy. Even though you don't care for her as she is so much older than I ,she already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter.She wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too.
Joan taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it for us and trading it with her friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Joan can get better; she sure deserves it!!
Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself.
Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.

Your son,Justin

PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that's in my desk center drawer.
I love you!
Call when it is safe for me to come home!!
