CLIENT
About the Client

Hospitality Works Co., Ltd., a leading domestic firm pursuing premium customer experience.

Hospitality Works Co., Ltd. operates a reservation-based hospitality service. With many staff and bookings to manage, it needed to support high-quality hospitality through efficient operations.

Bookings centered on phone calls and paper ledgers, while staff attendance, room availability, and sales tracking were scattered. They chose to build, in-house from scratch, an operations system unifying these into one platform.

CHALLENGE
Design challenges to solve

Four structural requirements that underpin operations.

None of these are technology-selection problems; they are business requirements tied directly to utilization, customer experience, and operational efficiency. A from-scratch build required a design that “satisfies all of them at once.”

Booking management is person-dependent
Staying on phone calls and paper ledgers,double-bookings and omissions tend to occur.
Assignment status is invisible
Without visualizing attendance and availability,utilization and lost opportunities take a hit.
Complex pricing structure
Without organizing courses, options, and coupons,settlement errors and confusion arise.
Slow to grasp sales
With manual aggregation,management-decision speed drops.

ARCHITECTURE
The architecture we built together

Turning hospitality service operations into a “running platform” across four domains.

Booking management, staff assignment, pricing master, and sales aggregation — the four domains essential to running a hospitality service, built in-house from scratch together with Hospitality Works Co., Ltd. The timetable manages bookings, attendance, and rooms across one view.
