Hello Softinn PMS user!

We have made the process of check-in in a guest easier with the new check-in flow on the Guest Arrival page.

From this page, before you check-in a guest, you could: 

1. Record and Edit the Guest Details
2. Assign the Main Contact Details
3. Collect and record the payment
4. Collect and record the security deposit
5. Generate the Receipt
6. Generate the Sign-In Form

Scenario: Imagine that Melissa will check-in today for 2 nights staying in the King Bed Room and she makes a reservation through a phone call. You could view the details of her reservation from the Guest Arrival page.
