Vendors are the unsung heroes of every hotel and motel. When payments get delayed, things fall apart fast—supplies dry up, and word spreads quickly. Your reputation (and even guest experience) is at stake.

 

Why Timely Vendor Payment Matters

  • Critical supplies come late, causing service disruptions
  • Last-minute purchases cost far more
  • Trusted vendors may stop working with you or demand pre-payment

 

How to Avoid Vendor Payment Drama

1. Automate Bill Approvals
 Skip the paperwork chase and move to digital invoice management.

2. Maintain Good Records
 Track due dates and early-payment discounts.

3. Communicate Delays Proactively
 Let vendors know if there’s a delay—never leave them guessing.

4. Centralize Accounts Payable
 Have CPA-reviewed processes, so bills don’t fall through the cracks.
