What it is

Reservations is where a hotel either flows or jams. Orian puts the whole property on one tape chart, rooms down the side, nights across the top, and lets you move a stay by dragging it. Every move is validated before it lands: a drop onto an occupied night or an out-of-order room is refused with the reason, and money is left alone so a negotiated rate survives a room change. Behind the calendar sits one availability number, shared by the desk, your own booking engine and every connected channel, which is the only real cure for overbooking.

Drag it, stretch it, done

Move a booking to another room or another night by dragging the bar; pull its edge to extend the stay. Clash-checked before you let go, with an optimistic UI that rolls back and tells you why if the move is refused.

Rate plans that stay in step

BAR, non-refundable, advance purchase, corporate, package and promo. Derived plans price off the room's base rate, so raising the base recomputes every plan at read time instead of leaving you to edit nine of them.

Groups, companies and agents

Block rooms for a wedding, a tour or a corporate account, keep them on a shared folio, and bill the company to the city ledger with a credit limit that is actually enforced.

How it runs

A day with it, in four moves.

The enquiry arrives

By phone, WhatsApp, your website, an OTA or the AI receptionist. All of them write the same booking record, nothing is re-keyed at the desk.

You quote from the real plan

The rate comes from the applicable rate plan for those dates, with occupancy supplements, meal plan and taxes already worked out.

Inventory closes instantly

The night is gone from your engine and every connected channel in the same breath, so the overbooking window never opens.

The stay moves as it needs to

Upgrade, extend or shuffle rooms on the chart. The folio follows, the housekeeping picture updates, and the agreed rate stays agreed.

Recorded in the product

This is the real screen.

Dragging a booking to another room and pulling its edge to extend the stay, clash-checked before it lands.

Wired in, not bolted on

What happens elsewhere because of this.

Every module reads and writes the same data, so these are not integrations you configure, they are just what the system does.

With

Channel manager

The same inventory and rates push to Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda and Airbnb, and their reservations land back on this calendar.

Channel manager With

Housekeeping

Tomorrow's cleaning sheet is generated from this booking picture, a departure plus a same-day arrival becomes an urgent turnover.

Housekeeping With

Front desk

Arrivals, departures and in-house lists are just views of this data, so the desk never works off a stale printout.

There is no module list to price up and no add-on tier. Every hotel on Orian gets the whole platform.

Before you ask

Reservations, answered.

Can Orian overbook a room?

Not through its own surfaces. The desk, the calendar, your booking engine, phone bookings and the AI all read and write one availability number, and every write is validated against existing stays and date-ranged out-of-order blocks. The only residual risk is an OTA that delivers a reservation for a night it was told was closed, which the sync log makes visible immediately.

If I move a booking to a different room, does the price change?

No. Moves deliberately leave money alone so a negotiated rate survives a room change. If you want the new room's rate applied you change the total yourself, which keeps the decision with the person who made the promise to the guest.

Do rate changes ripple through my rate plans automatically?

Yes, when the plan is derived. A derived plan stores a percentage or fixed adjustment off the room's base rate and is priced at read time, so changing the base recomputes every derived plan. Plans set to their own base price stay where you put them.

Can I take group and corporate bookings?

Yes. Rooms are held under a booking group with a shared folio, and a company, travel agent or OTA profile can carry a commission percentage and a credit limit. Billing the company posts to the city ledger, and the ledger refuses to go past the limit you set.
