# Front Desk

Your daily workspace for arrivals, in-house guests, and departures. From here you can update bookings, assign beds, collect payments, and issue access—without jumping between screens.

## What You Can Do

* See arrivals, in-house, and departures at a glance
* Open a booking to view details, notes, and payments
* Change status (reserved, check-in, paid, cancelled, no-show)
* Assign or move beds/rooms
* Take payments and add extra charges

## Quick Links

* Booking management: [Booking Management](/front-desk/booking-management.md)
* Check-in and check-out: [Check-In & Check-Out](/front-desk/check-in-check-out.md)
* Pricing and updates: [Pricing](/front-desk/pricing.md)

## Tips

* Click a booking on the calendar to open its details.
* Keep statuses up to date—this improves reports and prevents double-assignments.
* Add brief notes to help your team coordinate across shifts.
