"In the old days, the night auditor would normally be by themselves, and on one screen they’d have the PMS open and they’d be checking in guests, and on another screen they’re putting in restaurant covers and trying to balance cash and all these things. Now with DigiAudit, it’s all one-click night audit, and Otelier handles it all and stores everything in the cloud. Managers have more time to spend with guests and running the building."
