Owner stay reservations, not just blocks

I would love to have a  booking types for owners. $0 stays, possibly with a cleaning fee attached. “Owner reservation”

we use breezeway and have the ability to send auto messages during “owner bookings” based on reservation type- if it’s tagged an owner stay we can send them diff messages than guest. 

would love the ability to differentiate these stays. All blocks for us are not owner stays. Some are maintenance, some are blocked for photos or deep cleans. I have to sift through at the end of the month to really see which ones were owner stays that I need to bill a clean for. 

Hope this makes sense 

That's an idea that's floated around for a long, long time, but it's never quite gelled as to exactly what it should look like.  Maybe at some point though.

Currently, when owners log into their calendar to make a reservation for their use, OR creates a  blocked-off time on the Orez calendar. We need them to be bookings and not blocks so that they trigger appropriately in Breezeway and PointCentral. 

As the OR system is currently, point central will not generate a code, nor will Breezeway create workflow tasks (pre-arrival check, departure cleans, etc.) unless we happen to catch the Owner block and then manually convert it to a booking (which, BTW sends a confirmation with a balance due to the owner – not ideal.)

It would be so much easier if there were a category for Owner Booking, that defaults to 0.00 rent. This would trigger Point Central to generate codes for their arrival, and trigger the necessary workflows in Breezeway. It will also automatically eliminate them from Safely charges.   3 birds…one stone! 😊

Would you please create a category for an owner booking so all of our other systems recognize it as an owner stay?
