Nightly, weekly and monthly stays
Each apartment is let with the guest, its number, check-in, check-out and channel; the nights come from the dates, whatever the rate.
Hospitality & leisure

Can I let the same apartment by the night and by the month?
Yes. Pick the nightly, weekly or monthly rate on the till; the stay keeps its dates, so the rack and occupancy count the real nights either way.
How do I take a security deposit?
A deposit is not a sale: take it as a customer receipt and return it when the guest leaves, or keep it on the tenancy contract for a yearly lease.
Can I bill electricity and water by the meter?
Yes. Type the units used since the last reading as the quantity of the kWh or m³ line, with the apartment no., and it lands on the guest's folio.
Does StartERP follow Ministry of Revenues VAT rules?
Yes. Invoices show your Taxpayer identification number (TIN), VAT at 15% and totals in birr, following Ministry of Revenues requirements. Tax invoices with your TIN and VAT at 15%.
What hardware do I need?
Any PC, laptop, tablet or phone with a modern browser. USB and Bluetooth barcode scanners that type into the browser work out of the box, and receipts print on 80 mm thermal or A4 printers.
How much does it cost?
We share our prices on request, so you pay only for what your business needs. Every store gets 7 modules and up to 2 POS terminals that make sales, with unlimited users and devices. Pick the add-on modules, POS terminals and hardware you need, send a price request and we will email you a quote. Subscribe monthly or yearly, or buy the licence once. Every store starts with a 15-day free trial and no card is needed.
