Before you create a Room Type, you must have a Default Rate Plan in place to assign to it. After Rate Plan is set up, then the Room Type is created and the Rate is assigned to it. The last step is to assign the Rooms that belong to the Room Type.

These Rate Plans will be used when bookings are made at the front desk and online through your website or OTA channels.
Rate Plans allow you to create the different rate structures for the different room types you offer. The Rate Plans you setup here appear in guest folios, statements and anywhere your rooms are sold online like your website and OTA channels.
Rate Plans define unique rates for weekdays and weekends, the number of occupants, minimum length of stay, etc. In Step 5 we will create the room types and apply the Rate Plans created in this step.
