Hotel Finder Capstone Project Document

Introduction

Nowadays our generation is living with technology, technology is now part of our daily life especially in our work and it will not stop anytime soon. Businesses tend to adopt these trends to maintain their competitiveness. Hotel industries, in particular, to provide their existing and potential clients better service and embracing technology is the key to their edge. This is supported by Myat, Sharkasi, & Rajasekera (2019) which stated that most websites lack an online booking capability, and as a result, and due to a global trend, online booking through third-party intermediaries has become the dominant option for hotel booking arrangements in Myanmar.

Hotel companies here in Bacolod City particularly are now adopting an automated and online reservation system which is a big help to fasten the process of advertising and answering the consumer’s inquiries and admissions. However, there are still hotel companies here in Bacolod City whom practices manual way of recording of reservations and information of those who have sent them admissions and inquiries information and forms of reservation where place in a drawer that cause’s process problem form and misplacing of forms to difficulty of updating, saving, searching, and sometimes even viewing the records to the problem of contacting the customer who have reserved already. Moreover, it consumes a lot of time, power, energy, and effort of the person in charge.

Thus, the proponents propose a Hotel Finder that will help the hotel company particularly, the marketing officer, managed the incoming inquiries and reservation. Since it is Online it can be accessed anywhere with internet connection, Customer who we’re far can visit the website and inquire for reservation. It doesn’t only lessen the process of time consumed it also makes the work a lot efficient, easier and fast. Since the computerized system is very reliable and useful in security and some confidential records.

Background of the study

There are some hotels here in Bacolod who are using the manual way of booking reservation especially the small-time Hotels and lodge. The manual process of booking reservation gives a hard time to the employee to identify the needs of their client sometimes they encounter problems such as no show of cancellation, Therefore, the proponent believed that this system would help to optimize productivity and improved customer’s satisfaction. This system also provides a database for the records of the customer who book in their hotel. The system will be used by the employees and the manager. The proponents come up with this study by developing a new type of Hotel Finder in every hotel around Bacolod in accordance with the technology enhancement. The proposed system is to modernize the process of booking reservation. Keeping records, etc. the system performed high efficiency, security, and effectiveness.

Objective of the Study

This study aims to develop a Hotel Finder for Hotels located in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental.

Specifically, the study aims to:

Develop a Hotel Finder that can:

Allow hotels to have a portal for advertising their room rates;
Utilized by the hotel to manage hotel reservations and transactions; and
Let the system Provide reservation process to the clients through portal.
Evaluate the acceptability of the system using the standard instrument of ISO/IEC 25010:2011 System and Software Quality Requirements and Evaluation in terms of Functional Suitability, Performance Efficiency, Compatibility, Usability,
Reliability, Security, Maintainability, and Portability.

Conceptual Framework

The conceptual framework of this system shows and indicates the flow of the system and helps the users and all the readers understand how it will be processed or functioned.

Review Of Related Literature

This chapter presents the relevant studies and systems which were the basis for the design and development of the system.

Local Studies

TripAdvisor

According to Hee “Andy” Lee, Rob Law & Jamie Marphy TripAdvisor is a popular website if you’re looking for restaurant and accommodation reviews However, you can also book your hotel room and flight through them Just choose where you want to go, the dates, number of guests, and rooms. You can then narrow it down by choosing your accommodation type, traveler, rating, hotel class, amenities, and hotel style.

TRAVELBOOK.PH

According to Travelbook.PH is an online ticketing platform that allows users to book hotels for travelers. Travelbook.ph was founded in 2010. Travelbook.PH’s headquarters is located in Metro Manila, Quezon, PH 1110. Travelbook.ph has an estimated 85 employees and an estimated annual revenue of 3.0M.

658 Apartelle Online Reservation Management System

Is not only a database for guest list but also an online reservation system, where potential guest can have online reservation which automatically be sent to database of the 658 Apartelle. Based on the proponent’s observation and interview, they have found Many problems such as time consuming logging of the guest names to the log book, difficulties in making reservation and difficulties in retrieving information on their previous guest because of the papers that are scattered everywhere and misplacing of the guestless records.

Foreign Related Studies

Agoda

Agoda is a popular booking site which is based in Singapore. Like any standard booking app, it allows you to choose the dates of your check-in and check-out then customize the filters according to star rating, guest rating, price, neighborhood, payment options, property type (resort, hotel, or guest house), rental home or apartment, and facilities. Apart from hotel rooms, you can also compare airfare tickets through Agoda. Getting a shuttle service between the airport and your hotel can be a pain but not with this app.

Trivago

is a metasearch hotel search site that quickly sifts through the metadata of hotel sit Trivago is a metasearch hotel search site that quickly sifts through the metadata of hotel sites and other travel booking portals to find you the best deal in a matter of seconds. Like Kayak and Google Flights, you do not book directly on Trivago but are transferred to the hotel website or the booking site (i.e. Expedia, Cancelon, etc.) to begin the reservation process. You find a hotel room and Trivago earns a small referral commission.

Expedia

Is one of the best-known booking apps in the world. Capable of booking both hotel rooms and flights, it’s a go-to app for seasoned travelers. You simply have to type in your destination, choose the number of guests and your check-in and check-out dates. Narrowing down your choices is easy because their filters aren’t extensive. When it comes to flights, choose either a round trip or a one-way flight. Next, choose which airport you’ll be coming from and where you want to land. Choose the dates, number of passengers, and travel class.

All the related system presented, have same nature to the study, but were observe to have some problem when it comes to bookings and their security.

The system discussed are correlated to the proponents system, the Hotel Finder in Bacolod City, the proponents analyzed accurately and evaluate the related system based on its modules and its functions.
The related system has the proponents realized some functions and factors that would help the proposed system to be more advanced, accurate and effective for the users. Furthermore, the proponents acquire some features in the related studies and merged it to the system to be more beneficial to hotel companies.

METHODOLOGY

In this chapter, the proponents discussed and explain the phases of the System Development Life Cycle used for the development of this system. The proponents follow the standard System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), to define and present solutions to the problems identified in this study RAD model were used.

According to Kelsie Anderson (2019), RAD Model is agile software development methodology it emphasizes working software and user feedback over strict planning and requirements recording. It consists of four phases includes; Planning Requirements, User Design, Rapid Construction, Cutover.

Rapid Development Application

Rapid Development Application

Requirements Planning

          During this initial stage, after we selected our team members. The Researchers assigned tasks and assignments to each other. After the researchers did their brainstorming about the title of the system, we did the interviews and surveys to every Hotel. Here, they also come up for some related studies of the system. The team members communicate to determine the goals and expectations for the project as well as current and potential issues that would need to be addressed during the build.

User Design

In this phase, we draft preliminary design which is relevant to the proposed system however; this design doesn’t include some important aspect of the system. Once the project is scoped out, we go right into development, building out the user design through various prototype iterations, the client (user) tests it, and then they come together to communicate on what worked and what didn’t.

Rapid Construction

          For this phase our team, prepare for rapid construction, program and application development, coding, unit integration, and system testing.  Programmer and researcher work together during this stage to make sure everything is working smoothly and that the end result satisfies the client’s expectations and objectives.

Cutover

This is the implementation phase where the finished product goes to launch. It includes data conversion, testing, and changeover to the new system, as well as user training. All final changes are made while the coders and clients continue to look for bugs in the system.

Operational Feasibility

The goal of the system study is to develop the following booking and services:

  1. To provide the customer the list of affordable hotel around Bacolod.
  2. An online booking and services that can be access in anywhere through an internet connection.
  3. To provide an effective and efficient service.
  4. To help the manager of the hotel monitor the number of customer.
  5. To enhance the data storage of every hotel.

Program Environment

Front End

The front end is the client part of the program that is responsible for the checking of syntax and collecting the input data from the customer. It is also responsible for processing the action to complete all requests that the user has made. To build the front end of the program, the proponents used the PHP as the main scripting language while HTML and the JavaScript for providing the user interface the system as for the design and to help keep information in the proper display format the proponents will use CSS codes. And for adding some Customer information the proponents used JQuery to simply put the function inside the Hotel Finder add, edit and delete. In the proposed system the programmer used this in showing the archive.

Back End

The back end is the “serve-side” scripting codes that can be located in the server. To build the back end of the program the proponents used the PHP as the scripting language and interpreter that is freely available and used primarily on Linux web servers. PHP can interpret and perform the operations called for in the PHP script every time that the web server calls. The proponents also used Apache and MYSQL.

Cost Benefits Analysis

This table shows a chart of the Cost Benefits Analysis. The Return of Investment comes out of 98%. The Payback Period was computed by taking the sum of the present value of the system benefit and subtracting it to the present value of the system, to get its net present value and get the sum of net present value the proponents subtracting it to the negative value of the system. And dividing the difference net present value. Payback period = Initial Investment/Cash Inflow. The ROI was computed by taking the sum of the total Present value of the system benefits, subtracting it to the total present value of system cost, dividing the difference total present value of the system cost. The equivalent of the quotient will be the ROI or Return of Investment. The formula that the proponents used can be seen on Table 5.0.
