Cardinal
Simple by design · Canadian by nature

Run your property. Don't chase it.

Property management software for Canadian campgrounds, RV parks, motels, inns and lodges. The day arrives as a task list, the next step is always on the screen, and the setup finishes itself.

Built differently

Your property should feel this easy.

Running a property is the hard part. The software is not supposed to be. Here is how Cardinal takes it off your hands, in order of how much of your day each one gives back.

  1. Control DeckThe day's work arrives as a listIn place of a dashboard of numbers, and each task on it is one click from done.
  2. AnalyticsEvery insight opens the screen that fixes itRead live off your bookings, like a departure still owing or an arrival not yet guaranteed.
  3. HousekeepingKnow how many housekeepers you needToday and every day this week, worked out from your own cleaning times.
  4. Canadian taxTax reports, laid out step by stepIn the order your bookkeeper works, ending on the GST and QST remittance.
  5. ShopLate check-out and early check-in, ready to sellSold by the hour, and offered only while the room is actually free.
  6. RoomsEvery booking reads at a glanceOne colour for where the stay is, and a bar that fills night by night: Night 2 of 4.
  7. Control DeckNew staff learn as they workA ladder from New Arrival to Innkeeper that shows each person what to try next.
  8. Every screenAny screen in two clicksOr press Ctrl K and type where you want to go.
  9. Rooms & RatesType one price and every rate followsThe price on a room type is the base rate, and every plan is set from it.
  10. ActivitiesActivities offered while the guest booksRight after the room is chosen, while the guest is still saying yes.
  11. Every screenEvery screen opens instantlyIt loads once, and the other desk's changes appear on yours as they happen.
  12. AccountingThe day closes itself at midnightThe books are current all day, so there is no night audit to run.

Set up for you

You type what you know. It fills in the rest.

ProductsA product name: Parking
Billed per night, so a four-night stay bills four. A massage comes up per person, a shower per use.
Tax settingsYour postal code: J8E
Quebec: GST 5 %, QST 9.975 %, the 3.5 % lodging tax and your timezone. The province then locks, because changing it re-prices every future booking.
Property featuresAmenities in your own words: Wood stove
Recognised as a fireplace, given a French label and an icon, shown on your booking page and ready for the booking sites' lists.
Everything it sets up

What it costs

One system. Two prices, depending on what you run.

Priced by what you run, not by how big you are. Adding a cabin does not change the bill, and both plans open the same software.
