Set up room types and rates in Front Desk before creating a Direct Booking rate plan (go to My apps > Front Desk > Setup > Property & Room Settings > Rooms & Rates)
Create a rate plan and assign it to the room rates to configure the pricing and restrictions. You can then map the room rate to a channel.
Overview
Rate plans are different ways to sell your rooms. You can set unique rules for each plan, like lead time, dynamic discounts or package deals.
For each room type, you can create rate plans that define pricing and restrictions like minimum stay, cancellation policy, and included amenities. Once you assign a rate plan to a room rate, you can then map it to your online booking channels to make it available for reservations.
