• Confirm that the guest is staying at the hotel and that their room information is available for billing purposes.

Step 3: Apply the Overnight Charge to the Room
• In the Swyft Valet system, apply the overnight parking charge to the guest’s room via the PMS interface.
• Ensure that the correct parking rate is applied based on the guest’s stay duration and any applicable discounts.

Step 4: Confirm the Charge in the PMS
• After applying the charge, confirm that the overnight parking fee is reflected in the guest’s room account within the PMS.
• Verify that the total amount, including parking and any other services, is accurate.

Step 5: Review and Finalize the Transaction
• Upon guest check-out, ensure that all parking charges are included in the final room bill.
• Review the transaction for accuracy, finalize the payment through the PMS, and close the valet ticket in the Swyft Valet system.
