Are night audits running late, riddled with errors, or dreaded by your front desk? You’re not alone. Messy night audits are silent killers in hospitality, draining cash, stressing staff, and risking compliance issues.
Why Night Audits Matter
Night audits aren’t just about closing the books for the day. They ensure every room, POS receipt, and payment is recorded. Miss one step, and your numbers start to unravel.
What Goes Wrong
- Incomplete guest folio postings and missing receipts
- Manual spreadsheet “patches” for POS mismatches
- Delayed or missed end-of-day reconciliations
- Unapplied deposits and advance payments
The Ripple Effects
- Lost revenue—rooms and sales that vanish from your numbers
- Audit nightmares come year-end
- Overworked, under-supported night auditors
- Guest billing disputes that damage your reputation
