This is a snippet from Bartech the automatic minibar manufacturer: Interfaces with PMS to lock bar based on guest occupancy and credit status
. And a transcript from their Youtube video for intended usage of locking system. "Tracking guests check-ins as soon as the guest comes into the hotel. Based on credit card status if a guest checks on the credit on file we automatically unlock payment through the system as such and if they were to check-in with no credit on file we would actually keep the minibar locked during their entire stay".
And continuing from website: "With automatic minibars, all consumed products are charged in real-time to the guest folio. Product names are shown directly on the folio, allowing for easy discussion of minibar charges with guests. By charging products accurately and in real time, minibar revenue increases by up to 30%.
" Quite an awesome IoT contrivance isn't it?
