Hall and Room Booking System for Temples – Features Checklist
Managing a Dharamshala (Guest House) or Marriage Hall attached to a temple brings unique challenges compared to a hotel. The focus is on affordability, verification, and adherence to rules rather than luxury. If you are looking for software to manage your temple premises, ensure it ticks these boxes:
Key Takeaways
- A digitized checklist prevents operational chaos during weddings and events.
- Key checks: Advance payment, ID proof storage, and GST applicability.
- Inventory allocation (chairs, vessels) must be linked to the booking system.
- Post-event refund processing is streamlined with digital deposit tracking.
✅ 1. Flexible Inventory Management
Can the system handle AC, Non-AC, Dormitories, and VIP suites? Can it block rooms for maintenance automatically?
✅ 2. Variable Pricing (Tariff) Rules
Temples often charge different rates for "Yatris" vs "Standard Guests". The software should support peak/non-peak pricing and category-based discounts.
✅ 3. Check-in / Check-out with ID Proofing
Security is paramount. The system must capture photos of ID proofs (Aadhaar/Passport) via webcam and store them securely against the booking. It should also calculate GST automatically if tariffs exceed the threshold.
✅ 4. Hall Booking Calendar
For marriage halls, double-booking is a disaster. You need a visual calendar that shows availability slots (Morning/Evening/Full Day) and prevents overlapping reservations.
✅ 5. Security Deposits & Refunds
Managing caution deposits is tricky. The system should track deposits separately and allow for partial refunds after deducting damage charges or extra services.
Does your current operational method cover all these? If not, it might be time to switch to 3ioSetu's dedicated Accommodation Module.
