Charging a meal to a room

The in-house route: the bill lands on the guest folio instead of the drawer.

An in-house guest can sign for a meal. On the settle screen, choose the in-house route rather than a payment method, find the room, and the bill posts to that guest's folio.

Only occupied rooms are offered, and the guest's name is shown — check it against the person signing. This is the single easiest way to charge the wrong room.
The charge lands on the folio with the outlet, the bill number and the covers, so it can be explained at check-out.
It is revenue for the restaurant and a receivable for the hotel on the same movement. The room-postings report reconciles the two, and it is the report to run when the restaurant and the front office disagree about a day.
This route needs both modules. A standalone restaurant with no hotel has no rooms to charge to and is not offered it.
