Technological innovations help hotel owners cope up with the fast-growing competition in the hotel industry. Hotels adapt the use of computerized systems and applications to automate the processes of their transactions and services offered.
The capstone project, “Mobile App Hotel Reservation System with SMS Notification using iTexMo API” is designed to automate the process of booking hotel reservations.
In a conventional way, hotel guests personally visit the hotel to inquire and make reservations. The said method takes valuable time and effort from both the hotel guests and the hotel receptionist.
The researchers conducted the study to design, develop and implement a mobile-based application to be used by hotel guests in reserving hotel rooms ahead of time. The application will ease up the completion of the hotel reservation transaction. The said project will enable hotel guests to conveniently book their reservations and will also ease up the job of the hotel reception desk. Hotel guests can schedule the date, room and length of their stay in the hotel.
After the application was developed, it will be presented to the respondents, intended users, and a panel of IT experts for assessment. The application will go through the checking and testing phase to ensure smooth operation and functionality. The application will also be evaluated by IT experts for further enhancement and improvement.
The implementation of the application will significantly benefit those in the hotel industry. Hotels can accommodate a larger number of guests every day and easily process the guest’s inquiries and bookings. Hotel guests also can conveniently book hotel reservations without spending too much time and effort.
The researchers concluded that the developed application is an effective and efficient tool in conveniently booking hotel reservations.

Hotel businesses in need of an effective tool to reach a huge number of guests as well as provide convenience for their guests in bookings or making reservations.
Proposed Solution
The researchers of the study proposed a mobile-based app to automate hotel reservations. The project aims to provide hotel guests a platform where they can book their schedule and rooms to stay ahead of time in a fast, accurate, and hassle-free manner. The proposed system will eliminate the manual method which is prone to encounter a lot of adversities. The system will be used by the guest to book and schedule their stays in the hotel ahead of time. The hotel management as well will use the system to manage the bookings of the guests. By having the system, the hotel can improve the overall experience of their guests as well as boost their income.
