Case Study Scenario

MyBnB Chain Reservation System Total Marks [100]

MyBnB is a leading chain of B&Bs, providing bed and breakfast services and other
services. MyBnB has branches in Selepa, Gerald, Tatisiding, and Area W. MyBnB
has decided to introduce a computerized system to manage customer
reservations, check-ins and check-outs. Currently, they have a spreadsheet
software package that can carry out these tasks. Each branch runs this package
locally. This is problematic, for example, if one branch is full and the helpdesk
assistant receives a reservation request, the helpdesk assistant must call other
branches to locate a suitable room. Similar problems arise if a customer wants to
transfer between branches.

The new system must resolve this problem by providing a single, common
reservation system across MyBnB branches. The system should provide a System
Administrator with the ability to add new branches to the system as they are
acquired or built. Additionally, branch managers should be able to add and

remove rooms and room types to and from the system in response to activities
such as repairs and building work.

The system will allow helpdesk assistants to handle only reservation requests made by
customers in person and through the telephone. A helpdesk assistant should be
able to check how many rooms are available in their branch and then reserve
each room required on behalf of a customer. If their branch is full, the helpdesk
assistant should be able to check how many rooms are available in other
branches and then reserve each room required if the customer agrees.

A reservation will require the customer to provide details of a debit or credit card
account. The account will be debited on the day when the customer checks out.
A customer can request to cancel a reservation any time before 24 hours to the
check-in date. If a customer requests to cancel a reservation late (less than 24
hours before the check-in date) or does not check-in on the agreed check-in
date, then the customer will automatically be charged an amount equivalent to
one night’s lodging.
