Your team despise the endless cycle of manual card charging, reconciliation headaches, and security risks.

The High Cost of Manual Card Charging

Manually charging credit cards can have a significant impact on your hotel's bottom line:

1. Increased Costs:

  • PCI Non-Compliance: Failure to comply with PCI standards can result in hefty fines and penalties, even loss of card processing privilege.
  • Manual Labor: Typing numbers into an EDC Machine is madness. Manually processing payments is time-consuming and requires significant staff resources.

2. Lost Revenue:

  • You Cannot Charge the Card: Your EDC/POS Machine doesn't support VCC card charging is lost revenue and poor cash flow.
  • Guest Frustration: Their booking is not confirmed. The cumbersome process of manual card charging can frustrate guests and lead to abandoned bookings.

3. Operational Inefficiencies:

  • Time-Consuming: Front Desk, Reservations and Finance are your most expensive employees, yet their time is spent on updating Excel, taking photos, and manually stuffing paper receipts into guest folios.
  • Reduced Staff Morale: Dealing with repetitive and error-prone tasks can lead to low morale among your team.
