A robust "Child Policy" allows businesses to accommodate families with children in a flexible and transparent manner. This policy defines how children are treated in terms of pricing, bedding arrangements, and meal inclusions, providing clarity for both the business and the customer.

Detailed Functionality and Considerations

1. Components of a Child Policy:
   
   

   • Age-Based Pricing:

     • Define age ranges for children (e.g., infants, toddlers, children, adolescents).

     • Apply different pricing structures based on these age ranges (e.g., free stay for infants, discounted rates for children).

   • Bedding Arrangements:

     • Offer options for extra beds, cribs, or cots.

     • Specify the cost of each bedding option.

     • Define room occupancy limits, considering the addition of extra beds or cribs.

   • Meal Inclusions:

     • Specify whether meals (e.g., breakfast) are included for children.

     • Offer discounted meal rates for children.

     • Define age-based meal policies (e.g., free breakfast for children under a certain age).

   • Sharing with Parents:

     • Clearly define the conditions under which children can share a bed with their parents.

     • Specify any age restrictions for sharing.

     • Outline any additional charges for sharing (e.g., for extra linens).

   • Room Type Restrictions:

     • Some room types may not be suitable for children or extra beds.

     • Clearly define these restrictions.
