Phuket, Thailand“… mycloud PMS works well to ensure smoothness of our front office department; also keeping accurate track record of statistics for the management team in order to make vital decisions. Its POS system helps enhancing productivity level of food and beverage sales. We were having slight issues and confusions during the set-up stage. However, the support team clearly shows adequate knowledge and willingness to assist. Any enquiry seems to have solutions shortly afterward.
One of our hotel secret success is the mycloud Hospitality solution …”
