MyHostel is a Working Hostel Management system.
Unlike regular hotel and hostel reservation systems, this system uses programs and concepts specific to working hostel establishments and was developed by working hostels, for working hostels.
The MyHostel reservation and work placement system is an easy-to-learn and comprehensive internet program that can be used to; manage hostel bookings and reservations, store guests information, and organise work allocations for 417 visa holders. It works by compiling guests data (name, DOB, passport , bank info, visa expiry date etc.) into an convenient to access list, where you can then place them in available jobs that have come up within your seasonal farm contracts.
You can customise the available job placements on the system to meet your specific needs by changing the names, leave and start times, whether it is hourly or piece-rate, long-term or one day, labouring or picking, etc. and by including farmers notes regarding each farm (ie. bring plenty of water, wear long sleeves, no orange shirts etc.). You can easily pull up guest and farm information from past placements and compile organised lists of days-worked, guests available, and current residents staying with you.
Furthermore it is a great system to keep track of rent payments, guest fines, hostel purchases and transactions, and daily reconciliation of sales.
