Travel agents & commission
Agent ledgers, commission accrued at check-out on room and package meals, netted both directions, payable derived.
Khajuraho runs on a season and on agents. A hotel here fills through tour operators and international travellers for part of the year and sits light for the rest — so commission that nets itself, a rate that respects the season, and a guest register that captures a foreign passport without slowing the desk all matter more than they would anywhere else.
Five things we hear from owners in Khajuraho and the Bundelkhand circuit — and what StayFlint does about each one.
✕ Tour operators send most of the season's volume, and the commission maths ends up in a notebook at month end.
→ Travel agents are accounts with their own ledger. Commission accrues at check-out on room and package meals, nets against what they owe, and agent-wise payable is derived — never typed.
✕ International guests arrive with passports and visas, and the register is filled in twice — once for the desk, once for the paperwork.
→ The guest record captures ID once at check-in and the Form-F register is produced from it, so the paperwork is a by-product rather than a second job.
✕ The season is short and the off-season is long, but the rate card does not know that.
→ Date-wise rates and rate plans with sell windows, minimum stay and closed-to-arrival — the season is priced before the enquiry lands, and the off-season stops leaking margin.
✕ Agents book on package terms — room plus meals — and the meal side is priced per head while the room is priced per room.
→ Meal plans EP, CP, MAP and AP priced per head per night on top of a per-room rate, taxed as one composite supply, with a cover count the kitchen can cook to.
✕ Net-rate and gross-rate agent bookings behave differently, and the difference is remembered rather than recorded.
→ Net versus gross is one setting on the agent. A net booking bills the agent through the ledger; a gross booking accrues a commission. Neither needs a parallel spreadsheet.

Agent ledgers, commission accrued at check-out on room and package meals, netted both directions, payable derived.
Date-wise rates, sell windows, minimum stay and closed-to-arrival, so a short season is priced before it starts.
Per-head-per-night meals on a per-room rate, taxed as one supply, with a cover count for the kitchen.
ID captured once at check-in; the Form-F register is produced from it rather than filled in a second time.
An agent-driven, seasonal market rewards exactly two things: commission that nets itself against what the agent owes, and rates that were decided before the season started. StayFlint treats an agent as an ordinary account with a ledger, so credit, ageing, statements and routing all serve it with no separate money code — which is why agent-wise payable can be derived instead of maintained.
StayFlint is built by ByteFlow Technologies Pvt Ltd in Ujjain. Setup and migration are done with you, and support is on WhatsApp in Hindi or English.
Short, straight answers — and a person on WhatsApp for the rest.
An agent is an account with its own ledger. Commission accrues at check-out on room and package meals, ex-tax, and sits as a negative line on that ledger — so one ledger nets both directions and what you owe an agent is derived, not maintained by hand.
Yes. Net versus gross is a setting on the agent. A net booking bills the agent through the city ledger; a commissionable booking accrues an accrual at check-out. The rest of the system behaves identically.
Yes. ID details are captured once during check-in and the guest register is produced from that record, so nothing is filled in twice at the desk.
Yes — EP, CP, MAP and AP. Meals are priced per head per night on top of the room rate, and room plus meals is taxed as one composite supply at the room slab.
Pricing is quoted on room count, so a small property pays for a small property. You can start with the front desk, agents and the booking page and switch other modules on later.
