Serenely situated at an altitude of over 1,400 meters, Shirakaba Resort boasts a stunning location next to the idyllic Lake Shirakaba in Nagano, Japan.

This picturesque resort offers a variety of attractions and activities for every season, including the Ikenotaira amusement park, “Family Land.”

As one of RoomBoss’s latest users, Ikenotaira enhances their operational efficiency using the RB ECS and point-of-sale (POS) systems, which help to streamline sales and ticket collection through easy online and in-person purchasing processes, and robust multi-location ticket printer integration.

We’re extremely proud to be supporting Shirakaba Resort, and look foward to working closely with the Ikenotaira team long into the future!

Last week’s Niseko Classic 2024 marked the 11th event of its name—and the 9th year since it became an official UCI Gran Fondo World Series qualifier event.

This year’s 150km and 80km flagship racers had to show even more resilience and technical skill in their battle against gravity and the elements; tackling the Classic’s winding climbs, speedy descents and historically rare bouts of inclement weather, amidst another incredible turnout for Niseko’s premier summer sporting event.

RoomBoss is once again proud to have been a sponsor of the Niseko Classic, which proved to be another resounding success this year!

Great passion and determination was demonstrated by all involved, with ever-impressive riders, a fantastic spectator showing, and incredible local support—all tied together by an eclectic range of events, stalls and eateries for spectators and competitors alike to enjoy throughout the weekend.

As you may know, RB offers a POS for customer-facing sales. Our POS provides a quick and easy way to sell non-accommodation products and services. It’s integrated with Square Terminal for payments, and Epson thermal printers for receipts and tickets. Two exciting new POS features were released!

New Room Charge Functionality

In addition to charging by credit card etc, now PMS users are able to room charge.
Rooms that are checked-in can be selected for charging. Guest name(s) are displayed to help ensure the right room is charged.

POS-only User Role

It’s possible to provide a user with access only to POS (no access to other parts of the system). This can be appropriate in situations such as a hotel restaurant that’s operated by an external contractor. Our POS allows them to room charge, while avoiding access to any PMS functions.

As well as limiting a user to POS, it’s possible to limit which vendors they have access to. In the restaurant case, this allows charging for meals while preventing restaurant staff from purchasing ski lessons etc.

We’re excited to extend a big RoomBoss welcome to Shun, the latest member of our growing Client Success squad.

During his free time, Shun has honed his communication and creative problem-solving skills to perfection as a veteran Dungeon Master, and can often be found crafting new questlines for his three-year long ongoing Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

His creativity and adaptability go beyond the dice rolls, allowing him to provide seamless insight and front-line support—no matter what our users encounter.
