Why Cambridge hotels and lodging properties call us
Cambridge has 6 Red and Green Line stations, Harvard and MIT, and about 50,000 people at work around Kendall Square each day. Cambridge trade runs square by square. We size the front desk and outlet hardware around that peak rather than your average week.
The city's hotels sit in Central Square, Kendall Square, North Point and along the East Cambridge riverfront, and the Head of the Charles brings about 325,000 spectators each October. If your hotel runs a restaurant or bar, ask us to compare systems that post those checks to the guest folio.
We work with hotels and lodging properties in and around Inman Square, Porter Square and East Cambridge, and throughout the rest of Middlesex County. If you're near CambridgeSide or Harvard University, you're well inside our service area.
Response time, honestly
Cambridge is in the core of our service area. Same-day, on-site support is routine here — a call that comes in during the morning is usually resolved that day.
What we set up for hotels and lodging properties
- Revenue separation across rooms, F&B, events and retail
- Multi-outlet reporting on one property
- Staff permissions by outlet and by role
- Contactless and mobile payment at every outlet
- Chargeback documentation and authorization records
- Card-on-file and pre-authorization with clean release
- Room charge posting from restaurant, bar and gift shop
- Deposit schedules for events and group bookings
Why buy this locally
Support quality is invisible at purchase and obvious six months later. That asymmetry is why this industry is full of cheap hardware and unreachable vendors. We are betting the opposite way: configure it properly up front, then answer the phone.
Lodging properties in this region are overwhelmingly seasonal, and a system problem in peak season is not recoverable — you do not get that Saturday back. Local support that can be on the property the same day is the only kind that matches that risk.
The fastest way to find out whether we are useful to you is to call and describe what is broken. We will tell you plainly whether we can fix it. Call (617) 958-8599 — a local tech answers.
What Cambridge hotels and lodging properties bring us
If two or three of these sound familiar, your system is working against you rather than for you.
Gift certificates and packages tracked by hand
Stay packages, gift certificates and promotional credits need balances the system enforces.
Reporting that can't separate rooms from everything else
Rooms, F&B, events and retail have different margins. If they report as one number you cannot manage any of them.
Incidentals held on paper authorizations
Pre-authorizations at check-in need to be real holds with a clean release at checkout, not a card imprint in a drawer.
Food and beverage on a separate island
A restaurant, bar or breakfast operation that doesn't post to the room creates double entry and disputed folios.
Hardware for Cambridge hotels and lodging properties
Specified for your space and volume — and we'll tell you what to skip.
One property, several revenue centers
The same process every time, whether you are near Inman Square or out toward the edge of Middlesex County.
We separate your revenue centers properly
Rooms, food and beverage, events, retail. Each with its own reporting, because each has its own margin and its own problems.
We set authorization and release rules
Pre-auth amounts at check-in, how holds release at checkout, and what documentation survives a chargeback.
We connect the outlets to the folio
So a breakfast or a bar tab posts to the room instead of becoming a second transaction and a disputed line.
We configure for your season, then revisit before it
A property that triples in July needs a conversation in May, not a crisis in July. We plan for the peak deliberately.
Hotels & lodging in Cambridge: common questions
Do you actually come out to Cambridge?
Cambridge is in the core of our service area. Same-day, on-site support is routine here — a call that comes in during the morning is usually resolved that day. Cambridge is in Middlesex County, which is inside our six-county service area, and we work hotels and lodging properties throughout it. Call (617) 958-8599 and we'll tell you what today looks like.
How fast can you get a system installed in Cambridge?
Most Cambridge setups are live within about two weeks of approving the quote. That window is mostly configuration and hardware delivery, both of which we handle. If you're opening on a fixed date — or your current system is actively failing — tell us and we'll work backward from your date.
Which parts of Cambridge do you cover?
All of it, plus the surrounding towns. We regularly work hotels and lodging properties in and around Harvard Square, Central Square and Kendall Square, and out through the rest of Middlesex County. If you're just outside Cambridge, call anyway — the service area is wider than most people assume.
Can we report rooms separately from food and beverage?
Yes, and you should insist on it. Separated revenue centers are the only way to see which part of the property is actually making money, especially when F&B is subsidizing or being subsidized by rooms.
We're a small inn with a seasonal staff. Is this too much system?
Possibly, and we will tell you if it is. A six-room inn does not need a multi-outlet configuration. We would rather quote you the right small setup and keep you as a customer than oversell you something your staff won't use.
Can restaurant and bar charges post to a guest room?
That depends on your property management system and which POS you choose. Where a direct integration exists we configure it; where it doesn't we will tell you plainly rather than letting you find out after install. Tell us what PMS you run and we will confirm what is actually possible before you buy hardware.
How should we handle incidental holds?
As real pre-authorizations with a defined amount at check-in and an automatic release at checkout. We configure the amounts and the release so guests aren't calling you two weeks later about a hold that never dropped — which is one of the most common complaints at smaller properties.
