Night Auditor
Prepare departure folios and express checkout
What You Do Today
Review departing guest folios for accuracy, process express checkout charges, prepare folios for under-the-door delivery, and ensure charges are correct before guests see their bills.
AI That Applies
Folio review AI checks departing guest charges against expected patterns, flags anomalies — the guest charged twice for minibar, the missing resort fee — and prepares express checkout batches.
Technologies
How It Works
The system ingests AI checks departing guest charges against expected patterns as its primary data source. The automation engine executes each step in the process sequence — validating inputs, applying business rules, generating outputs, and routing exceptions to human review queues. The results integrate into the practitioner's existing workflow — presenting recommendations, flags, or automated outputs alongside their normal working context.
What Changes
Folio review is exception-based. AI flags the 5 folios out of 100 that have potential errors, rather than requiring you to review every departure.
What Stays
Guest-facing billing disputes are human work. The guest who challenges the minibar charge, the corporate traveler who needs charges split for expense reports — these require service skills.

Establish Your Baseline
Know where you are before you move
Before adopting AI tools for prepare departure folios and express checkout, understand your current state.
Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.
Define Your Measures
What to track and how to calculate it
Time per cycle
How to calculate
Measure how long prepare departure folios and express checkout takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.
Why it matters
The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.
Quality of output
How to calculate
Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.
Why it matters
Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.
