These are the lists with some of the top hospitality software completing the
information systems:
1. Transaction Processing System
Processing data effectively helps the hotel to be more flexible to demand, in
understanding customer and keeping costs down. Transaction Processing System allows
business transactions involving the collection, retrieval, and modification of
transactional data. This system processes data generated about and by transactions in
the hotel. These systems are vital as they ensure that the data collected is accurate and
timely, which increases labour efficiency. It is mostly used by managers in the hotel
industry at operational capacity.
2. The Point of Sale (PoS) System used in the Hotel Industry
PoS is the most common form of information systems used in the Hotel industry.
This computerized system keeps track of merchandise sales such as those that would
occur in a hotel restaurant, bar, coffee or gift shop. There are various versions that are
also used by the Front office of the Hotel and the Housekeeping department. These
systems incorporate registers, computers and any peripheral equipment that may be
established on a computer network. This system is important because it keeps track of
payroll, labour, and sales, as well as generates records which may be useful for
accounting purposes. Micros and version of Micros are commonly used by the Hotel
restaurants, Fast food restaurants and stand-alone restaurants. Even security
departments of the Hotel industry have their own PoS system.

The hotel PMS handles room booking while the POS processes restaurant
orders. The hotel PMS manages room inventory while the POS helps manage
restaurant or boutique stocks. The hotel PMS notifies you if a room needs to be cleaned
or is ready for guests while the POS tells you if a table is available or booked.
The PMS is eventually used for hotel while the POS helps process more on the
restaurants.
