Your time and your staff’s time is valuable, so why spend it logging into different systems and websites (including bank websites), manually reconciling bank transactions, searching for past records, entering PMS data, or doing any other tedious process.
Hotel Investor Apps Inc. has added R. Mark Woodworth and William H. Reynolds Jr. to its board of directors. “We are excited now to also have the support of such prominent industry leaders as Mark Woodworth and Bill Reynolds”, said Charlie Fritsch, CEO/board member, Hotel Investor Apps.

Every hotelier understands the cost of doing nothing when it comes to maintaining hotel condition and brand standards. If you don’t reinvest, do the PIP, etc., your hotels will, over time, lose market share to competitors who are reinvesting in modern designs and technology. Hoteliers need to apply the same focus on their back-of-house business systems, especially accounting. Here are 7 questions to ask yourself when deciding on an accounting upgrade:
