@RESA team: with reference to our discussion, for the booking process internally, you will remark on ERP for the operation team which house in case of double private booking.

Attention: for Chantha’s house – sharing fee from 11pax and up at $1/pax so the cost of the sharing fee will be more expensive than our current. In case, the group of sharing more than 10pax better to book his place for the private request and keep sharing group with Tom Rin’s house.

Reminder: RESA team book house for private request only. For sharing request, the operation team still need to call to book house with suppliers as we’ve discussed before.
