Handy Hotels
Hotel Booking Interface & Hotel Management System
2022 - Present
Project Overview
HandyHotel is a hotel management system developed using Java and a 9-dimensional array for optimal data handling and operations management. Designed to modernize and streamline older Marriott franchise locations, particularly in hill stations like Mahabaleshwar, it has been adopted by 11 franchises, collectively managing 1,023 rooms. The backend leverages the Spring Boot framework and Hibernate for seamless database interactions with MySQL, while the frontend, developed with React.js and Next.js, ensures a smooth, server-side rendered user interface. This system not only automates room bookings, pricing updates, and billing but also simplifies the user experience for non-technical staff, resulting in significant operational improvements and customer satisfaction.
The Problem
Older hotel properties often face challenges with outdated systems that cannot meet modern demands like real-time room availability, dynamic pricing, and efficient database management. For Marriott franchises, this created inefficiencies, delayed booking processes, and a poor customer experience. Additionally, most hotel staff at these locations were non-technical, making it difficult to adopt newer, more complex systems. The need for a streamlined, user-friendly solution that could modernize operations without requiring extensive technical knowledge became essential for improving day-to-day management.
The Solution
HandyHotel provided the solution by utilizing Java and a 9D array for optimal backend processing, making it capable of handling complex operations across multiple franchises. The Spring Boot and Hibernate integration ensured smooth database management, while React.js and Next.js created an easy-to-use frontend for non-technical staff. Material-UI further simplified the user interface, making it intuitive for daily operations. With the system adopted across 11 franchises managing 1,023 rooms, it not only modernized operations but also drastically improved booking accuracy, streamlined processes, and enhanced overall efficiency in hotel management.
