About

A late checkout is easy to grant when no one is arriving in that room and the floor has time, and costly when either is false. Late Checkout reads today's departures, the reservation that arrives next in each room and its arrival time, and the attendants on shift from Deputy or 7shifts.

It proposes which rooms can be offered a later departure, the hour, and the price from the ladder you set, and drafts the message through Twilio or the Mews message thread. When a guest asks by text, it proposes the answer. Once approved, it proposes the new departure time on the reservation and the charge.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from Late Checkout and what it could propose, based on the vendor's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • Today's departures and their reservations, through reservations/getAll in Mews with ScheduledEndUtc, or GET /booking/v1/reservations in apaleo by departure date
  • The next reservation assigned to each departing room and the arrival time it carries, including the estimated arrival time Cloudbeds keeps
  • Attendants on shift and their hours, through the Deputy Roster resource or 7shifts shifts by location and role
  • Late checkout requests arriving as texts on your Twilio number, in a Mews message thread through MessageAdded, or in the Guesty guest inbox
  • The late checkout product and its price in Mews products/getAll, with its ChargingMode and PostingMode
  • Rooms already granted a later departure today, so the same floor is not overcommitted

Proposed actions

  • Target capability: propose an offer per eligible room with the hour and price, and the message to the guest through Twilio or messages/add in Mews
  • Target capability: propose a reply to a guest who asked, granting, offering a different hour, or declining with the reason
  • Target capability: propose the new departure time on the reservation, through Update reservations in Mews, amend in apaleo, or putReservation in OPERA Cloud
  • Target capability: propose the late checkout charge, as Add reservation product in Mews or a folio charge through the property management connector
  • Target capability: propose a note to housekeeping in Microsoft Teams listing the rooms that will vacate late and when

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Offer late checkout only where the room is free

    Mews shows a departure whose space has no reservation starting until the evening. Late Checkout proposes the offer at the hour and price from your ladder, and the message through messages/add, for the front office to approve.

    With Mews

  • Answer the text in the guest's words

    A guest texts your Twilio number asking for a later departure. The operator checks the next arrival in apaleo and the roster in Deputy, and proposes a reply that grants the hour, or offers an earlier one with the reason.

    With Twilio, apaleo, Deputy

  • Charge it once and tell housekeeping

    Once the guest accepts, the operator proposes the Add reservation product charge in Mews, the ScheduledEndUtc change, and a Microsoft Teams note to the floor with the new vacate time, all from one card.

    With Mews, Microsoft Teams

  • Handle the request from the rental inbox

    A Guesty conversation asks for a later checkout on a listing with a same-day arrival. Late Checkout proposes a decline with the reason and a reply in the inbox, drafted for the host to send.

    With Guesty

Requirements

  • A property management connector with reservation read and update: Mews, apaleo, Oracle OPERA Cloud, or Cloudbeds
  • A guest messaging path: a Twilio number, the Mews message thread, or the Guesty inbox; properties on Kipsu receive proposals in their messaging channel
  • A price ladder by hour and room type, and a rule for how many late departures a floor may carry
  • A workforce connector with today's roster, such as Deputy or 7shifts, or a capacity figure entered each morning
Authentication
Late Checkout logs in to nothing. It reads departures, arrivals, rosters, and messages through the connectors you connect; offers, replies, reservation changes, and charges go through the same connectors after approval.

Limits

  • Eligibility rests on the next arrival's recorded time. A walk-in or an arrival with no time is treated as due at the standard hour.
  • The price is yours. The operator applies your ladder; it does not set or test prices.
  • A charge is proposed only where the connector posts to a folio. Where it cannot, the receipt tells the desk to post it.
  • It never extends a departure past the next arrival's check-in time, whatever the guest offers to pay.

Questions and answers

What does the front office approve?
The offer: the room, the hour, the price, and the message. Then the reservation change and the charge once the guest accepts. Each is one card; approve, change the hour or price, or dismiss.
What is recorded for each offer?
A receipt: the departure, the next arrival and its time, the roster capacity read, the price applied, the message and its delivery status, who approved, the reservation change, the charge, and how to reverse it.
Does it ever grant or charge on its own?
No. It compares and proposes. A message goes out, a departure time changes, and a charge posts only after approval, once each. It never grants past the next arrival's check-in time and never changes a rate.
