Focus on Efficiencies Through Back Office Software Keeps MCR Hotels Ahead

OPERATIONS

MCR Hotels revolutionized its operations by adopting Otelier’s DigiAudit, automating back-office tasks and improving reporting accuracy across its 150 properties. This transformation not only boosted efficiency but also empowered teams to focus on delivering exceptional guest experiences.

Why it matters: This shift to automation is critical in an industry where time-consuming manual tasks often take focus away from guest service. By embracing technology, MCR was able to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve overall efficiency, positioning itself for long-term success in a competitive market.

DigiAudit by Otelier is a back-office automation software that digitizes the night audit and reporting processes for hotels, centralizing data and improving document compliance. For MCR Hotels, DigiAudit eliminated manual data entry, saved time on audits, and enhanced operational efficiency, allowing staff to focus more on guest satisfaction and driving business performance.

Top 3 Core Objectives: MCR Hotels, one of the largest hotel owner-operators in the U.S., has leveraged Otelier’s DigiAudit to drive greater efficiency, reduce manual work, and centralize critical data. By implementing this technology, MCR has streamlined night audit compliance, empowered staff to focus on guest experience, and reduced environmental impact through paperless processes.

Improve Property-Level Efficiency: MCR aimed to reduce manual back-office tasks and automate data entry. Otelier’s DigiAudit streamlined night audit and reporting processes, allowing staff to focus on higher-value activities and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
Improve Guest Experience: By automating time-consuming tasks, MCR enabled General Managers to spend more time engaging with guests rather than managing administrative duties. This shift allowed GMs to focus on their core responsibilities and enhance the guest experience.
Connect and Centralize Data: MCR sought to eliminate data inconsistencies across its properties and improve decision-making at the corporate level. With DigiAudit’s automated reporting and centralized data storage, leadership now makes informed, data-driven decisions quickly and accurately.

Taking away both the overhead cost of that, as well as the stress and the worry about finding where this stuff is, has been critical."
