The monthly work it takes off your team, the safeguards around your PMS, and the people who built it.
The hidden cost of OTA payouts
Work that repeats, whether your team has time or not.
About one minute per line
Open the payout, find the reservation, check the amount, post it, close the bill — by hand, line after line.
Re-logins, broken focus
Between the bank, the OTA extranet and your PMS, your team switches context dozens of times per statement.
Discrepancies nobody sees
A missing €15 on a no-show is invisible in a busy week — until month-end doesn't balance.
It never stops
Every OTA, every payout cycle, every property. The work repeats whether your team has time or not.
1,000payout lines in a busy month
14+ hoursof back-office work
StayAutomate brings it down to two clicks — plus the exceptions.
Built to be safe with your PMS
Nothing enters your PMS unless it's verified.
Preview before write
The exact payment list is shown before anything is written into your PMS.
Nothing posted twice
Every payment carries its own identifier — re-importing can never duplicate it.
Closed only at zero
A bill is closed only after your PMS itself confirms the balance is zero.
Humans decide exceptions
Any mismatch is explained in plain language and waits for a person.
No guest names stored
Guest names on statements are ignored and never stored: matching runs on the booking reference. Built with GDPR in mind.
Everything on the record
Twelve months of audit trail: who imported, who posted, who closed — with timestamps.
Manual first, then automaticYou check the first payouts yourself. Once you're confident, posting runs on its own.
