solutions help hoteliers deliver the experience guests want, while efficiently
managing their business.
When using a property management system, the pros exceed the cons, if
you choose well and know how to use it. With a good PMS you’ll get time back for
yourself, save resources and make more money. The key is to look for a PMS that
is easy to use and requires little to no staff training and integrates with your other
products.
The Hotel at Green Sun in Makati City, Philippines is among the few
accommodations in the metro that boasts a fascinating piece of history bound to
give you a stay like no other. Standing within what used to be Delta Motors Inc.
from the 1970s, The Hotel at Green Sun innovates to maintain the industrial
elements of the original car warehouse structure. Exposed pipes, bare concrete
walls, and industrial beams and ceilings succinctly combine with Architect Gil
Cosculluela’s modern-minimalist design, resulting to a masterpiece that is art in
itself. But that is just the beginning. With amply appointed rooms and suites, and
ultra-convenient facilities and services, your stay at the hotel means a seamless
journey from our extensive history to the wonders of the contemporary. It is, after
all, right at the heart of the place of wonder, entertainment, and inspiration that is

Theoretical Framework
FLOW THEORY
According to Csikszentmihalyi (2010), User–website interactions in service
contexts create opportunities for positive online experiences that can foster brand
equity, nurture trust, and eventually lead to long-term relationship building. The
purpose of this study is to examine the concepts of “online customer experiences”
and “flow” and their mediating roles in influencing customers’ loyalty to a hotel
booking website. To achieve this goal, a theoretical model was developed, which
suggests that online flow in services includes both hedonic and utilitarian features.
According to the study results, hedonic and utilitarian features affect the flow
experience positively. The study results indicate that hedonic features have a
stronger effect on the flow experience compared with utilitarian features. The
findings imply that when customers experience flow in online hotel booking
services, they develop a sense of trust toward the website. Positive experiences
with the website enhance the brand equity. These findings can help researchers
and service providers understand the flow concept in online hotel booking services.

seconds, and the information disappears unless it is deemed important. If deemed
important, the information will be stored in short-term memory. If the information
continues to be important, it will be moved into long-term memory.
NETWORK THEORY -
According to Law (2012), Network theory studies relationships of all sorts,
whether between people, animals or things. Social network analysis is an
overlapping tool for learning about patterns that develop within social networks and
how they influence behavior. The "Harvard Business Review" reports on a social-
network study conducted at Columbia University. Researchers -- two of whom
authored the "Harvard Business Review" article -- found that that the success of
entertainment products is impossible to predict based on traditional factors such as
plot or star power because "hits" are the result of the influence consumers have
over each others decisions. Digital marketing channels such as Facebook, Twitter,
Foursquare and Groupon are useful in this regard, as they allow marketers to listen
to what consumers are saying, and they allow marketers to leverage the power of
influential users to spread messages throughout their networks. Research shows
that the most powerful users are those with the most influence across a number of
differentiated networks.

CHAPTER 2
RELATED LITERATURES AND STUDY
Local Literature
According to Castillo (2014), the importance of computerized systems to
the reservation and front office operations of mostly small to medium-size hotels in
the Province of Batangas, Philippines. One hundred reservation and front office
managers and employees from 10 hotels participated in the study by assessing the
importance of their existing computerized system to their sales and reservation,
guest registration, forecasting room status and room availability, through the use of
a survey questionnaire developed by the researchers. The gathered data were
analyzed with the aid of SPSS. Results show that the computerized system is very
important to the pre-identified hotel operations or functions whether during peak or
during lean season, although in most cases, the importance is more evident in
peak season than in lean season. In general, respondents from the different
groups of hotels find the computerized system important to their operations.
Nevertheless, findings also reveal that computerized system is more important
for hotels that are located along the coast than for those located off the coast, for
hotels in the First District of Batangas than for those in the other three districts, and
for four-star hotels than for three- or two-star hotels; but equally important for
hotels regardless of size in terms of number of rooms. It is recommended for other
hotels in Batangas, especially those along the coast and in the First District, to also
establish or acquire a computerized system for their operations and for those with

existing computerized systems to add important features for the improvement of
their systems.
As Stated by The Catalogue Horse21 (20l3), an online hotel Catalogue in
Philippine. The Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Manila/At Mall of Asia is
strategically situated near SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia and Ninoy
Aquino International Airport. It is near major business districts and tourist
destinations. It is easily accessible by private and public transport. The hotel has a
restaurant serving international cuisine and function room for 200 persons. The
swimming pool located at the roof deck will be operational soon. Free WIFI in
Lobby, Restaurant Only. Php 100/hour for in-room internet use. Free buffet
breakfast in all rooms. Hotel does not offer room only rate.
Microtel by Wyndham® stands out from other properties because of the system-
wide design of its buildings and furnishings that stress function, comfort, and
convenience, while at the same time meeting international quality standards.
The online system did not provide an instant booking system. Guests will have
to wait for confirmation within 24 hours after their booking. To enhance the current
system, system is developed to enables guest have availability checks and instant
confirmation of the booking. The purpose of this feature is to save valuable time
and to cut cost, as it will eliminate email exchanges between guests and
reservation department. Valuable reservations staff time is saved because
reservation requests will no longer have to be processed.
According to Shangri-La's Mactan Resort & Spa (20l3), a resort hotel

recreation, restaurant and bars. Visitors can use their computer mouse to navigate
around the hotel. For business person usage, the website provides a form for
quest to fill in their reservation details. In addition to room reservation, guests may
fill in another form to make special request for their reservation. The structure of
this website is well organized and easy to navigate through. Visitors may get a lot
of information from this website.

As stated by the Hotel Swiss-Garden Kuala Lumpur, (2018) The main
functions of Hotel Swiss-Garden online reservation system are to provide hotel
information and online room reservation. Visitors can get hotel information such as
location of hotel, room rates, room description and hotel facilities. The reservation
process required quest to fill their detail in reservation form. Reservation is
guarantee by giving the credit card details or by cash deposit. The layout of this
online system is clear and user-friendly. Guest can browse through the website to
18
LYCEUM OF ALABANG
College of Tourism and Hospitality Management
Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management
get the information easily. The content of the website is up-to-date, with no
grammatical or spelling mistakes.
The user-friendly layout of system is a good example for the developed portal
to follow. This is to make sure that the visitors will feel comfortable or easy to
browse through the portal. The up-to-date contents, without grammatical or
spelling mistakes and broken links are to guarantee visitors can get the right idea.
This is a very important theory to apply in the developed system, as information is
crucial for potential quests.
The portal must make sure that potential quests get the correct information,
such as room rates and hotel location. This online system only shows the static
picture of the hotel room. Guests are not able to view the whole picture of the room
they are going to reserved and stay. A picture worth a thousand words. Instead of
giving plenty words to explain the room condition, it is more suitable for quest to
have a virtual tour on the room they are going to stay. This can increase their
satisfaction towards the room condition.
The online system of Swiss-Garden is fully organized by its developer. The
content of this system will need the website designer to update. As online
reservation system is part of the hotel’s property, hotel staff should have the
authority to handle the online system. There should be a way for them to update
the information themselves, without refer to the website designer. The online
system should provide contact information to allow quest to contact if they have
any questions or comments.
It is important to listen to the feedback from them, in order to enhance the
quality of hotel’s services .As conclusion, good characteristic of this online system
is applied in the developed to enables staff to organize their online reservation

system. The developed system is appeared to be more attractive, efficient and
dynamic.
According to the Marco Polo Guesthouse (2017), The core functions of
Marco Polo Guesthouse online reservation system are to provide online room
reservation, hotel information and tourist information. Visitors can get the
guesthouse information such as location, room rates, room description and other
facilities. In addition, guest can get the tourist information of the place where Marco
Polo Guesthouse is located. Marco Polo Guesthouse is located at Batu Ferringhi,
Penang. The online system had includes the traveling information of Batu
Ferringhi, and Pulau Pinang as well. This online system appears to have multi-
functions, in addition to online reservation system. Visitors may get know more
about the place they are going to stay, and have make sure they had a select a
right place to stay. The online system had stated out the contact person’s number
and email clearly. In case visitors have any questionnaires, they can call or write to
the contact person. Suggestions from guest are good to help the hotel business
growing.
Anyway, the online system did not provide an instant booking system.
Guests will have to wait for confirmation within 24 hours after their booking. To
enhance the current system, system is developed to enables guest have
availability checks and instant confirmation of the booking. The purpose of this
feature is to save valuable time and to cut cost, as it will eliminate email exchanges
between guests and reservation department. Valuable reservations staff time is
saved because reservation requests will no longer have to be processed. Although
the online system had included the picture for the bedroom, kitchen and dining
room, visitors only can view of it. With a more advance feature provide in
20
LYCEUM OF ALABANG

Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management
developed system, visitors will be able to view the whole room, for every angle of
the room. The current online system for Marco Polo Guesthouse did not include
the management for housekeeping. In addition to enhance the functionality of
developed system, a ‘Housekeeping’ features added for housekeeper to perform
their daily work.
As conclusion of this case study, system will be developed to have an instant
booking for the room and meals. There is a ‘back office’ for them to control the
content of the portal. This is to help hotel in better management of their reservation
and content of portal. The ‘Housekeeping’ features also hope to provide staff have
better management of daily work and be able to work on schedule.
the creation of computer networks and the Internet have enabled a new way of
information around the world, as well as direct communication with all users. ‘The
Internet is a collection of computer networks around the world and as such is the
largest computer system that millions of computer users can use and share all

into business systems of travel agencies, hotel chains, airlines, car rental
that recent IT developments, offer new opportunities for tour operators. For
instance, several tour operators distribute electronic brochures and booking forms
Synthesis of Literature
The purpose of review of related literature and studies is to study other
online system and analyze the system. By studying other system can help to
develop a more complete and efficient system. These studies discuss to apply in
developed system.
After reading the related literature, the researchers synthesize that every system
has its strengths and weakness. Online booking systems is basically the same,
which enables guest to make online room reservation. Some systems provide
other useful functions for the guest in addition to online reservation. The online
reservation system provides useful information. A new feature is added into the

College of Tourism and Hospitality Management
Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management
develop system after studied other online system. The feature is to provide a ‘back
office’ for staff to manage the reservation of rooms, meals and packages. There is
also a feature for housekeeper to refer to their daily work schedule. The developed
system not only includes the existing functions of an online reservation system, but
also added in more features to enhance its functionality.
Local Studies

Businesses who engaged into Information Technology have been observed to gain
a competitive edge in the field of Marketing in terms of accessibility, convenience
and availability. Since the internet is accessible by people globally. Information
Technology proves to enhance the way usual business transactions occur and
helps lessen the time and effort consumed by the company and customers. With
these, a good relationship with their consumers will be established and their
objective of increasing their sales will be achieved.
Based on the study of Roso (2016) that through internet, E-commerce
offers a simplified approach in business deals and gives a new option for selling
and buying the company’s products and at the same time not only selling and
buying of products but also advertising the site.
According to the study of Navarro (2016), stated that since the products
are available in the web, the more chances of gaining exposure to target
customers and can eventually encourage them to purchase an item. It’s the most
affordable way of advertising compared to some paid commercials that even small
businesses can easily implement.
