Presentation Summary Outline Premium & Essential Systems. Demonstration. Inclusions & costings. Training & installation. Support Further information on the website. Minibarmaster Premium & Essential What Is Minibarmaster? Minibarmaster uses Android smartphone handhelds running specialised software to record Minibar sales and wirelessly posts the charges to Front Desk and Opera. Charges hit front desk or guest accounts virtually instantly after a room is checked thus reducing denials and walkouts. Uses the 3G network of the chosen mobile phone carrier. This means any hotel can use Minibarmaster. The system doesn’t require the hotel to have a Wi-Fi network. Labour is reduced as room checking is faster and postings time is reduced or virtually eliminated. Comprehensive reporting and stock control results in further savings. Very easy to learn and use by minibar team members from wide ranging age groups and backgrounds. 100% designed in Australia by Electronics By Design so we have control over the product. Summary of Premium And Essential Systems The Essential System is not interfaced hence charges are not posted to guest accounts. Instead, front desk team members view room charges on their terminals instantly after a room is checked, as they have full access to Minibarmaster. Both systems are wireless and include the same software tools. Cashiers can see room charges as well as room status such as DND, and the items and quantities consumed. The Premium System is interfaced to Opera hence charges are sent directly to guest accounts, improving speed of posting and reducing denials. In addition, the front desk team save time as they don’t need to manually post charges. What Is Minibarmaster?

Premium system is interfaced to Opera so charges go straight through to guest accounts. It also includes an additional handheld and on-site training and installation rather than remote. Essential can be easily upgraded to Premium at a later date. Other Features System is fully wireless. There are no docking stations, or cable downloads. Front office has instant and full visibility into every room’s minibar including sales and DND status. Staff productivity reports can be generated to show the efficiency of every minibar team member. Room states are used to categorise rooms into stay overs, due outs, departed and due in, and allow staff to prioritise room checking. Expired stock management detects expire stock and records losses. Stock management allows easy ordering of stock for stores to prevent loss of revenue due to out of stock scenarios.
