FOLIOS & PAYMENTS

One ledger the whole property posts to

Room nights, restaurant orders, spa, minibar and laundry on a single folio — split any way, settled with any tender, invoiced before the guest reaches the door.

SEE IT IN ACTION

Sub-accounts let the company pay room and tax while the guest pays their own bar tab — on the same bill.

OVERVIEW AND BENEFITS

The bill is the product

A folio is anchored to a party — the people being billed — and aggregates every order, charge, tax and payment against them. Tables and rooms attach to the party, never to the bill directly, so a booking that changes rooms does not lose its charges.

Nothing is re-keyed

Charges arrive from the outlet that raised them, priced and taxed, the moment they happen.

Split the way the guests actually want

By item, by order, by percentage or by named payer — including slices that deliberately exclude tax.

Every tender, recorded properly

Cash, card, wallet, gift card, deposit, room charge, on account and crypto — each with the evidence it needs.

WHY IT MATTERS

Unbilled extras never show up on a report

The charges that go missing are the ones that lived on a chit. Once every outlet posts to the same ledger in real time, there is nothing left to lose between the outlet and the desk.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Billing that survives a real property

Groups, companies, agents, disputes and corrections — the parts of billing that break simple systems.

Charges & taxes
Multi-tax catalogue with per-charge-type bases, service charge, and per-folio waivers.
Splits
By item, order, amount or payer, with slices that can exclude tax for the host to settle.
Folio windows
Numbered sub-accounts under one folio, each settling independently with its own invoice.
Room charge postings
Transfer an outlet bill onto the master stay as one aggregated line, reversibly and non-destructively.
Refunds & voids
Offsetting payments or standalone refunds, with requester and approver attribution.
Invoices & receipts
Thermal, PDF and WhatsApp delivery from the same bill layout.

Routing decides who pays for what

Attach a standing rule to a folio and future charges land on the right sub-account by themselves — room and tax to the company, everything else to the guest.

Most specific rule wins:route by transaction code, by source, by charge type, or catch everything.
Evaluated when the charge posts:so the nightly room charge and its tax land correctly at three in the morning.
Never retroactive:adding a rule does not move charges already on the bill, so an issued invoice stays true.

FAQ

FAQ

Yes. Open a second window on the folio and route room and tax to it. Each window settles independently and receives its own fiscal document; the guest still sees one bill.
Yes. A room-charge posting settles the outlet folio in cash-equivalent and posts one aggregated line to the master stay. It is reversible without destroying the original tender, so the outlet Z-report stays intact.
Correct it with a void, a refund, an allowance or a discount depending on what actually happened. Each is a distinct verb with its own permission and audit trail — a void erases the sale, a write-off keeps it and records the loss.
Taxes are a per-tenant catalogue and each definition declares which charge types it applies to. A service charge can exclude room rate while VAT still taxes it, and outlet taxes are never charged twice when the bill moves to the room.
