Your PMS is costing you more than you think
The cost of your PMS is not just the license fee. Bad usability generates a tax on every shift, and it never shows in the tech budget.
Hospitality Net points to supervisor interventions, data errors, and wasted staff time as the real price of a poor PMS user experience. Think about it. When a receptionist struggles to check in a group or change a rate, they call the supervisor. That supervisor is not doing revenue strategy, they are doing data entry. That cost is real, and it repeats daily.
My read: hotels negotiate hard on license fees, then pay ten times that in operational drag. The fix is to test the PMS like you test a new hire. Put your best receptionist and your newest one in front of the demo. Watch where they hesitate. That hesitation is your future payroll.
