Assign Lodging to a Reservation (How-To)

Article Details

Summary

A Lodging is a specific room an animal stays in, such as a kennel, pen, crate, run, or suite. Lodgings are tied to reservation types, so when you book a reservation you can also choose a lodging. For example, you can book a Boarding reservation in XL Kennel 1. If your facility is cage free, you may not see Lodgings in your app.

Notice: Customers cannot choose a lodging when they request a reservation in their portal. This helps you manage capacity and fit the most animals.

You assign a lodging when a reservation is created, accepted, or edited. Gingr either selects it on its own or staff assign it.
