The Pass On Log offers a simple tool for 'passing along' reminders to staff and guests, or setting 'reminders' for future needs.

The Pass On Log on the Front Desk displays the title, text preview, date and created by. A Pass On Log will 'appear' on the Front Desk on the 'Show on" date saved when adding or editing the Pass On Log.

Each Pass On Log stays on the Front Desk for 3 days until it automatically removes itself and can then be found by either 'searching' for it or viewing it in the Pass On Log area.

The Pass On Log is useful for many common hospitality tasks, such as:

1. 1. 'Wait List' guests wishing to book a room at a future date. To do this, set the Show On date to bring the Guest details to the fore at a specific date to see if availability has opened up and use the 'Message' body to record the Guest name, contact info, and room details.  Then, set the Show Date to be a few days earlier than the guest wanted to see if availability opened up - get back to them if it did.

   2. Schedule Maintenance.  A great use to remind yourself (and staff) to maintain the property's such as when to oil the hardwood floors or 'snake' a sewage line.  Take look at MyGuest for an even more robust to track and schedule maintenance requests with a distributed staff.

   3. Remind staff to sell particular rates or packages on specific dates.

   4. Alert staff to perform actions such as contact a guest, request maintenance, housekeeping, etc.

There are literally hundreds of uses for the Pass On Log to make reminding and notifying staff and guests easier.
