01Daily operations

Run today’s hotel from one view.

A stay is one record from the moment it is booked to the night it is closed — channel, registration, room, folio, invoice and audit. Your team stops moving between modules to answer a question a guest is standing there asking.

One booking, moving through the hotel

The booking arrives

BK-4821 · Booking.com

Direct, or from Booking.com and Expedia through the channel manager. One rate plan, one availability count, so a room sold on an OTA is gone from every other channel in the same moment.

confirmed

Before they get here

ID verified · Form C ready

The guest completes registration and ID capture from their phone. The details land on the reservation, and the police register for the stay is built from the same record rather than re-typed at midnight.

pre-checked-in

Into a room

Room 204 · ready 11:40

Assignment reads live housekeeping state from the tape chart, so only an inspected room can take a guest. Every path that assigns one takes the same lock.

inspected

While they stay

6 charges · ₹4,280

Restaurant, minibar, laundry and upsells post straight to the folio as they happen. Nothing is held on a chit to be reconciled at checkout, so the balance on screen is the balance owed.

folio open

They settle and go

₹23,396 · GST invoice

Split the folio across guest, company and city ledger, take payment, and issue a GST invoice with the right place of supply and HSN — from the charges already posted, not a re-keyed total.

settled

The night closes

4 Sep closed · 72 postings

Room charges post, cashier shifts reconcile, and the business date advances — then locks. A closed date will not accept a back-dated charge, which is what makes yesterday's numbers final.

success

No double-assigned rooms. Every path that puts a guest in a room takes the same lock, so two clerks cannot sell the same night twice.

02/Distribution and demand

One room count, everywhere you sell.

Your booking page and every OTA read the same inventory, the same rate plans and the same restrictions. Sell the last room on five channels and it closes on all five.

Available tonight

12

rooms, on every channel

Not twelve here and twelve over there — one count. Sell the last room anywhere and it closes everywhere, in the same moment.

  • Booking pace year on year
  • Market segment and source analysis
  • Included on Growth and above

  • Early check-in, late checkout, services

03/Billing and compliance

Every rupee can be traced to the thing that caused it.

Charges post where they happen, GST works itself out, and the invoice carries the numbers an auditor asks for. Finance and the front desk end up explaining the same figure because there is only one.

Issued from this property’s own invoice series · posted to the folio, not re-keyed

01

Charges post themselves

Night audit posts room revenue; restaurant, minibar and upsells post as they happen. Nobody types a total at checkout, because the folio was right all along.

02

Tax works itself out

In-state splits to CGST and SGST, out-of-state charges IGST, and each line carries its own HSN — so the invoice is defensible line by line, not in total.

03

The bill splits

Room to the company, extras to the guest — by line or by percentage. The company's share becomes a city-ledger receivable instead of cash at the desk.

04

The series never breaks

Numbers come from your property's own counter, sequential and gapless. Corrections become credit notes against the original rather than edits to it.

Chargeback tracked

Cashier shifts reconcile

Every payment belongs to a shift. At handover the drawer is counted against what the system recorded, and the difference is recorded rather than absorbed.

The business date locks

Night audit posts, confirms every reservation was charged, then advances and locks the date. A locked date refuses back-dated charges, which is what makes yesterday final.

Nine reports, one source

Cashier, journal, AR aging, advance deposits, folio balance and transactions, invoice summary and detail, reconciliation — all from the same postings, with an audit log underneath.

Foreign guests are captured for the police register from the same reservation record, so Form C is filed from data you already have.

04/Control and accountability

Everyone sees their job. Nothing happens anonymously.

A clerk should not be able to void a bill, and a server should not be able to settle one. Twelve roles carry the permissions the job actually needs, and every action that moves money or a room is attributed to the person who took it.

Read-only, one property, cannot write

Work that finds its owner

Tasks carry a department and a priority, and escalate on their own when nobody picks them up.

  • Front desk, housekeeping, maintenance, management, F&B
  • Low, normal, high and urgent
  • Automatic escalation when a task goes unclaimed
  • Housekeeping schedules and inspection checklists

The building, and what it costs

Work orders against a room or an asset, and a service schedule that generates the next one.

  • Assets by room, location or neither — a generator in the yard
  • Recurring service schedules
  • Retired assets keep their repair history as evidence
  • Vendors, linen and lost-and-found

A record of who did what

Every consequential action is written down, by the person who took it, at the time they took it.

  • Property audit log and staff activity log
  • Exceptions queue for what needs a decision
  • Rate overrides, voids, comps and refunds attributed
  • Impersonation by support is logged separately

More than one hotel

A portfolio view across every property you run, with occupancy and revenue side by side — and staff who hold a different role at each one.

No property sees another

Every query is scoped to the property you are signed in to. Cross-property access is not a setting to get right; it is enforced underneath the application.

When support needs to look at your property to help, they sign in as themselves — the session is recorded in a separate log you can read.

Features

Built for how Indian hotels actually run.

Direct bookings, channel sync, guest messaging and GST billing work from the same reservation record, so nothing is re-entered twice.

CK

“We built Checkaut so an independent hotel can keep every room night, every rupee and every guest record straight without adding staff.”

The Checkaut team

Hotel PMS built for India

Take commission-free direct bookings from your own site with live rates and availability.

Keep every OTA channel in sync from one inventory, so oversells and stale rates stop.

Confirm, remind and follow up with guests on WhatsApp without staff typing each message.

Collect UPI payments and issue GST-ready invoices that reconcile against one folio ledger.

PMS operating principles

Run the hotel better. Keep more of every booking.

01

One source of truth

Reservations, rooms, rates, guests and folios stay aligned from booking to checkout.

02

Protect every room night

Live inventory, direct bookings and rate controls reduce oversells, missed sales and commission leakage.

03

Close with confidence

Payments, GST invoices, cashier shifts and night audit reconcile against an auditable ledger.

05Restaurant POS

The restaurant is part of the hotel, not a system beside it.

A club sandwich in room 204 and a table of six downstairs run through the same orders, the same kitchen and the same tax engine. One lands on a folio, the other is settled at the table, and nothing is re-keyed between them.

Outlets it runs

RestaurantBarCafePoolsideBanquetRoom serviceMinibarTakeawaySpaGift shop

Orders reach it from a terminal, a QR code on the table, a QR code in the room, the bar tab, a banquet sheet or the minibar — eight channels, one order engine.

Twelve ways to settle

Charge to roomCity ledgerHouse accountCashCardUPIPayment linkWalletVoucherGift cardComplimentaryCustom

The three in green are why a hotel cannot run a high-street POS: the bill has to be able to leave the outlet and land on a stay, a company or the house.

Where it has got to

Sent
Acknowledged
Preparing
Ready
Served

A room charge cannot go missing

Posting a bill to a folio is idempotent and retried on its own schedule. A failed posting is queued with its error and tried again — never silently dropped, never posted twice.

A dead printer is not a lost order

Kitchen tickets are print jobs with their own states, ending in failed. A printer that is off shows up as a problem instead of as an order nobody cooked.

The bill can explain itself

Prices, taxes and the happy-hour rule that discounted a line are snapshotted at ring-up. Editing tonight's menu cannot change what last night's bill says.

06/Add-ons

Add what your hotel needs. It still lands on one record.

A restaurant, a channel manager, guest messaging, an assistant — switched on when you need them, each writing back to the same reservation and folio. Nothing to reconcile at the end of the month, because nothing was ever kept apart.

07/Reporting

Twenty-five reports, and none of them disagree.

Every one is built from the same postings the front desk created, closed by the same night audit. When the owner and the accountant pull the same month, they get the same number — because there is only one set of books underneath.

08System safeguards

Critical hotel records stay correct across every shift.

Room assignments, folios, invoices and integrations are protected by system-level safeguards.

01

No double-assigned rooms

Conflicting room assignments are blocked before they reach the stay—even when two staff members act at once.

02

Exact folio balances

Charges, taxes, payments and refunds resolve from the ledger, so the balance always has a clear source.

03

Auditable invoice corrections

Issued invoices stay intact. Any correction is recorded through a controlled credit note with a visible trail.

04

Safe retries and callbacks

Repeated payment or channel events cannot create a duplicate charge, reservation or posting.

09/Evaluation

Five ways to break a PMS. Try them on ours.

Demos are built to succeed. These are the workflows where inventory, revenue and financial errors actually begin — run them against every system you are considering, this one included, and watch what happens.

01

Inventory integrity

Open your last available room on two screens. Confirm both at the same moment.

What usually happens. Both succeed and you are overbooked, or one dies on a database error and leaves a half-written reservation.

What should happen. One confirms. The other is told the room has gone — before either of them writes anything.

02

Payment safety

Make the payment gateway deliver its success callback twice. A flaky connection will do it for you.

What usually happens. Two charges against the guest, or one charge and two lines in the ledger.

What should happen. The second delivery is recognised as the same event and ignored. The guest is charged once.

03

Financial accuracy

Pick any folio balance and ask the system where the number came from.

What usually happens. A total nobody can take apart, because somewhere an adjustment was typed straight over it.

What should happen. Every rupee traces to a charge, a tax line, a payment or a refund — each with a time and a person.

04

Connected distribution

Sell your last room on an OTA. Watch your own booking page while you do it.

What usually happens. A sync job runs every few minutes. That gap is exactly where double bookings are born.

What should happen. The count drops on every channel in the same moment, because there is only one count.

05

Controlled night audit

Close the business date. Now try to post a charge to yesterday.

What usually happens. It posts, and last night's numbers quietly change after you have reported them.

What should happen. Refused. A correction becomes a new entry, attributed to whoever made it, leaving the original intact.

10/Pricing

Priced per room. A lower rate as you grow.

Front desk, housekeeping, GST billing, night audit, direct bookings and online pre-check-in are in every plan. Growth adds the channel manager, WhatsApp, revenue tools and automation. Add-ons switch on per property.

Hotel PMS questions, answered.

The things hoteliers ask before they switch. If yours is not here, ask it directly and you will get a straight answer.

Ask us anything

A hotel property management system (PMS) is the software a hotel runs its daily operations on: reservations, check-in and check-out, room assignment, folios and billing, housekeeping status and nightly reporting. Checkaut adds direct booking, OTA distribution, restaurant POS and GST invoicing to the same record, so one stay has one source of truth.

See one stay move through your real operation.

We’ll follow a booking through room assignment, payment, GST billing and night audit — using your rates and your rooms — then map the migration from whatever you run today.
