In Hospitality industry this is very useful and advances in information system throughout the association. In the hotel, PMS is very useful such as in the Yield percentage, reservation, bookings, telephone and other access throughout the hotel. Connections are being involved and are easy to understand and compute.

In local government, it can help the city/ municipality to interfere with each other. It can moderately understand the needs of each department through PMS. All of these are necessary income earners for a local authority, so the efficiency gained through an automated, computerized system is essential.

In lodging industry, PMS is through online. All departments such as food and beverage department, banquet department, sales and marketing department, housekeeping department, controller, and security department interfere with the front office department or the front desk to give the quality needs of the guests. For example, a guest may refer to a banquet department automatically the front desk will just have to use the PMS online to send the message to the banquet department.

The function of PMS is to address the needs of the guest or an employer to other application around the hotels. I will just have to explain the lodging industry to be more understandable and to be more competitive and how to use the new appearance of PMS.

MAS

Also known as Multi Agent System, the researcher found out that this system can contribute and can help problems have a solution.  Through its high tech and excellent presentation, its major contextual maybe equipped as computer scientist. It is the unique way of introducing the researchers a accessible covering the diverse foundation of MAS.

The MAS has an active transition that is leading researchers in the area. A Multi Agent system has a vital role in multi agent systems from its game theory to logic and has and in the presents all researches are in a textbook form. The researcher serves as a reference in each of these fields to the College students.

"  Both parties are very intelligent to be able to understand the problem and to be solved frequently. An agent must have a IQ to be able to answer those questions in order to solve the problem. Even in economic, sociology, and philosophy.

The most important reason to use MAS when designing a system is that some domains require it. In particular, if there are different people or organizations with different (possibly conflicting) goals and proprietary information, then a multiagent system is needed to handle their interactions. Even if each organization wants to model its internal affairs with a single system, the organizations will not give authority to any single person to build a system that represents them all: the different organizations will need their own systems that reflect their capabilities and priorities."

Bento boxes are offered at lunch to hurried bankers and a more elaborated menu is proposed on evenings with a variety of traditional dishes revisited by Michel Del Burgo. A wine card worth of the greatest restaurants in the world through a close collaboration between L'Atelier
L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon is the name of eight French gourmet restaurants, located in Hong Kong, Las Vegas, London, New York, Paris, Singapore, Taipei and Tokyo. Owned by chef Joël Robuchon, the restaurants serve his French haute cuisine in a stylized environment. Many of the seats are arranged to overlook the meal preparation in the kitchen.
Robuchon's signature dishes include a cauliflower cream with caviar and potato puree, "Pommes Puree Truffee" truffled potatoes, and his "La Caille Farcie de Foie Gras et Caramelisee", free-range quail stuffed with foie gras.

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon has its magical experience. They have a romantic dinner and very wonderful surroundings. You may never think for a bill for as long as you may never regret in the food they served. You may never think also in the calorie you intake in their food for as long as you have eaten the best food they served.

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon is all class, complete dishes from appetizers up to drinks you have wanted to drink. This restuarant is has its great services, good atmosphere, lovely waiters and waitresses. It is a pricy food but iy is worthy enough. It is the BEST RESTAURANT IN HONG KONG. Every food they served, you will always smile because of its appearance, and its smell. Prices are high but the service and food they provide is well worth it. It is not a disappointment but just not a surprise.

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon is focusing in customers satisfaction wherein, a customer must wear smiles in their faces, and all of the said customers will be granted as very satisfied and a quality of food. Though, there are some instances of negative bcomments but there are majority in positive comments. Decorations in their restaurants are very elegant that looks like you are in a place of romantic and elegance. Its services is very quick and friendly. When it's not too busy, the servers gives you personal attention. Pouring tea for you and replace the dirty plates repeatedly. Customers were warmly greeted by the customers before sitting down at their table. Chefs were very approachable and very friendly enough. Every night the chefs excel and pool all their culinary abilities with the buffet presented in the L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon, it is a feast for the eyes and for the palette,come hungry and go home satisfied but do book a reservation as it sells out almost every day to locals and visitors to the hotel. Enough to make you want to eat two breakfasts. Absolutely wonderful pastries - fresh and light pastry, delicious fillings. The price is a little bit high but you can drink champagne eating as much lobsters as you want. All food is really good, you'll find several fish (crab, prawns but no oysters), sushi and sashimi, a lot of meats, foie gras , so many european cheese and hams, dozens of different desserts: The place is not too upscale to take along kids. I recommend it if you are really hungry and want to enjoy a perfect view.

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon-We had the chef’s tasting menu which was expensive relative to day to day dining, but good value for the quantity, quality and experience. The food was superbly delicious, fresh and perfectly balanced with unexpected surprises (all good) in taste. The staff were unbelievable professional, attentive and friendly, and really made you feel like a guest of honour. Inside the restaurant is spacious and grand and every detail has been addressed to make your meal and experience memorable.Excellent service and attention and delicious foods at this special restaurant.
