Software For Hotels Facilitate Auditing Daily Work
After a day's work is done, a property management system such as Hotelogix starts auditing the entries through its Night Audit feature. Here all the entries are checked upon, check ins and check outs sorted and accounts and reports maintained.
After a long day at the hotel, not many employees love the task of sorting out their duties and making reports. In reality, it is tedious and boring and not something to be done when one is tired and worn out. As the owner of the hotel, what do you do for such situations? You know that making those daily reports is important for the smooth functioning of the hotel but when the staff is not in a position to do so you have to think of something else.
A property management system doesn't just help you in making reservations, manage check in and check outs and housekeeping details but is a great tool for maintaining important reports and accounts.
Softwares for hotels such as the one Hotelogix provide has a tool called the Night Audit. This is a great tool to keep a check on daily activities and make a report of the same.
The night audit concludes the day's operations, accounting and transactions and prepares the property management system for the next day.
If there is any problems related to reservations, the software for hotels checks it and lines it up for user action. For example, if there is a pending check out, it gets listed as an extension. For no shows and check outs, folios can be automatically generated or manually made in the PMS. The audit also prepares and charges the allowances for the next day and keeps it posted. If there is any additional charge for a guest from the different point of sales, the same gets included in the guest's account statement or adjusted against the allowance. However, if the staff makes a mistake when charging a guest the property management system corrects it.
The PMS also calculates profit or loss after applying all discounts. All housekeeping updates are also made at the night audit. Room status is accorded by the Admin Console after having a check whether the room has been inspected, touched-up on or is dirty. Money can be taken out from cash counters and they can be closed at the time of Night Audit. During night audit, date rollover happens. Here the active working date is changed to the next day after locking the current day's accounts. The work of the night audit concludes by making reports of the day. These reports sum up all the transactions and collections of the day.
