What is LIDICA?[/quote]
Great… I can’t find shit on the web either.
I have a new audit of a hotel, and it is the front end accounting system they use. (Oh BTW getting used to the hospitality lingo and jargon is a bitch coming from construction and VC. I’m looking at people like they have two heads, lol.)
They are replacing it, but in general thsi shit is going to cause me nightmares auditing the nightmares they already lived through.[/quote]
No, never heard of it. I didn’t deal with the actual accounting, just the Front Office. Generally though, most hotels choose a suite of programs to run the reservations, f&b, rooms division, sales/catering, and accounting departments so they all communicate to each other and stuff.

Yeah, this is an initial year, they took over operations from a different company, who lived in the stoneage, lol.
It’s a total clusterfuck, haha[/quote]
Some of those hotel programs are VERY archaic. DOS 1.0 almost. Function keys ftw!!! Some hotel chains, like Marriott and others stay with what they have because it wouldn’t be financially feasible to replace their unix programs with Windows programs; they have too many locations, too many hotel segments (luxury, extended stay, select service), and too many employees to train or re-train. Marriott has been very good about updating their systems though. They’ve made their programs a lot more user friendly in the past 4 years, have taken employees’ suggestions into consideration and stuff like that.
Okay, I’m falling asleep now. Going to bed. Good night everyone!

this place isn’t a large chain.
F&B is integrated with the Front End, but online reservations need to be manually checked & entered, CC’s manually entered TWICE and Settled TWICE!
Then all this needs to be brought in and manually input into the back end software.
I mean, this is the type of shit you’d expect to see before I was born. This is the type of things they did before I was born. Like trying to do business without a fax machine or email…
