OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this laboratory activity is to enable students to gain practical experience in using the Hotelogix Point of Sale (POS) system by processing guest transactions across various hotel outlets such as the restaurant, room service, bar, and gift shop. Through this simulation, students will learn how to accurately input orders, post charges to guest folios, and coordinate transactions between the front office and other departments.
