Everything Front Desk Needs Day-to-Day.

The smaller details that keep a front desk running smoothly, all included.

Housekeeping Status Sync

Room status (clean, dirty, inspected) flows live from the housekeeping app straight to the front desk tape chart.

Multi-Property Switching

Manage several properties from one login — switch between fully isolated hotel registries instantly.

Direct Booking Page

A commission-free booking website syncs instantly with your tape chart, so direct guests never overlap OTA guests.

Mobile-Friendly Front Desk

Check guests in, move rooms, or check availability from a phone or tablet — no dedicated front-desk terminal required.

GST-Ready Folios & Invoices

Room tariffs are mapped to the correct GST slab automatically, so every folio is audit-ready the moment it's generated.

Role-Based Staff PINs

Quick device-local PINs separate front-desk, manager, and owner access without slowing anyone down at check-in.

Guest Communication

Booking confirmations and check-in reminders go out automatically, so guests arrive with the right expectations.

24/7 Ticketing Support

Online ticketing support is included on every plan if your front desk ever needs a hand.

Typical Outcomes.

What properties typically see once front desk runs on Antena.

Onboarding

Front desk staff typically go from paper registers to running a live tape chart within a single onboarding session — no multi-day training required.

OTA Sync

Once channel sync is enabled, properties typically stop seeing double-bookings and the manual cross-checking that used to come with them.

Night Audit

Nightly reconciliation typically drops from about an hour of manual balancing to a 10-minute morning review.

A Typical Scenario

A 40-room independent hotel switching from spreadsheets

Situation

Reservations tracked in a spreadsheet, OTA calendars updated by hand, and a WhatsApp group for housekeeping — double-bookings and missed handoffs were routine.

Solution

Moved reservations onto the tape chart, connected OTA channels over iCal sync, and gave housekeeping the mobile status app — all under one login.

Outcome

Double-bookings stopped, room status is visible at check-in, and the morning night-audit review takes about 10 minutes instead of an hour.
