Checking Guests Out

How to check out a guest, record meter readings, and handle post-stay tasks.

Prerequisites

  • Cashier, Manager, or Owner role
  • The reservation must be in Checked in status

Standard check-out

  1. Find the reservation in Reservations or use Today’s departures in Reports.
  2. Open the reservation.
  3. Verify that any outstanding charges (extras, utility usage) have been added.
  4. Collect any remaining balance — click Add payment if needed.
  5. Click Check out.
  6. The reservation moves to Checked out status and records the check-out timestamp.

Undoing a check-out

If you checked out the wrong reservation or need to extend a stay that was prematurely closed:

  1. Open the reservation (status: Checked out).
  2. Click Undo checkout.
  3. The reservation returns to Checked in status.

Recording utility meter readings at check-out

If your park tracks utility usage:

  1. Go to Utilities in the sidebar.
  2. Find the reservation and enter the check-out meter reading.
  3. The system calculates units consumed (check-out reading minus check-in reading) and adds the charge to the reservation automatically.

You can also enter the check-in reading at the start of the stay and the check-out reading at departure.


Archiving a checked-out reservation

After check-out, the reservation stays in Checked out status until you archive it.

  1. Open the reservation.
  2. Click Archive.

The reservation is removed from the default active view but is still searchable.


Turnover board

After a guest checks out, the site may need cleaning or other preparation before the next arrival.

  1. Click Turnover in the left sidebar.
  2. The board shows sites with departures that have not yet been cleared for the next guest.
  3. Mark a site ready once cleaning and any maintenance holds are resolved.

Troubleshooting

Check out button is greyed out — the reservation is not in Checked in status. Confirm it was checked in first.

Utility charge not appearing — ensure both the check-in and check-out meter readings have been entered in Utilities for this reservation.
