Run your property. Don't chase it.
Property management software for Canadian hotels, campgrounds and B&Bs. 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's what Cardinal offers:
At its core
- Rooms + ActivitiesManage all your lodging and activity reservationsAs a calendar or a list, with colour-coded statuses that adapt to each booking and action buttons that put the priority first.
- Control DeckManage rooms, housekeeping and activities on one pageWe reinvented the dashboard into a functional central command.
- ShopManage your products, packages and add-onsTransfer items sold to guest folios, or charge the house account for outside guests.
Modules

The product
Everything a small property runs on
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.
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.
- PMS
- Accommodation or activities
- Unlimited units, your own booking page, and the full ledger
- PMS + Activities
- Accommodation and activities
- The same, with activities on the same folio
