How do I get started quickly with Bistone HMS?

You can be operational in 3 steps: 1) Download and install the correct trial version for your hotel (Standard or Full Board). 2) Launch the software and use the default 'Admin' account (no password) for initial setup. 3) Add your first room and create a test reservation to see the workflow in action. The system guides you through each step.

What's the first thing I should do after installing Bistone HMS?

Immediately add your hotel's room types and rooms in the 'Room Management' section. This is the foundation. Then, go to the 'Rate Plan' settings to define at least one pricing structure. Once rooms and rates are set, you can start taking reservations.

I have a Full Board resort. Where do I start?

Start with the Full Board Version trial. After installation, prioritize setting up your 'Meal Packages' (Full Board/Half Board) in the Rate Plan module, as this defines your per-person, per-day pricing. Then, add your rooms and villas. The integrated system will automatically calculate charges based on guests and packages.
