Automated ledger rollover, real-time revenue splits, and transparent tax calculation compliance. Close out each business day in under 60 seconds with zero manual adjustments.
Every occupied room is automatically charged the daily rate. Tax components are calculated and posted individually per jurisdictional rules.
All open folios are verified. Deposits, payments, and charges are reconciled. Discrepancies are flagged for morning review.
Revenue summaries, occupancy statistics, and tax liability reports are generated automatically and stored in the audit trail.
The system advances to the next business day. The previous day is locked — no further changes can be made to preserve audit integrity.
Hotel tax structures are notoriously complex. A single night's stay might incur state sales tax, county occupancy tax, city tourism tax, and special district levies — each with different rates, exemption rules, and reporting requirements.
Lumina's night audit engine applies each tax layer independently, generating separate line items on the guest folio and aggregated totals on the tax liability reports. Updates to tax rates take effect instantly — no waiting for vendor patches.
Once the night audit rolls the business date, all transactions from that day are locked into an immutable ledger. No edits, no deletions, no backdating. Every folio adjustment after lockdown creates a new correction entry with full operator attribution.
This ensures complete audit compliance for franchisors, tax authorities, and ownership groups. The trail is exportable as CSV or PDF for external accounting systems.
For multi-night stays, revenue must be recognized night-by-night rather than at checkout. Lumina's night audit engine posts daily room charges as earned revenue while tracking the remaining balance as deferred income. This ensures accurate P&L reporting on any given day — critical for publicly accountable ownership groups and REIT investors who require GAAP-compliant daily revenue snapshots.
At audit time, reservations marked as arrivals that never checked in are automatically flagged as no-shows. The system applies the property's no-show policy — charging one night's rate to the card on file and releasing the room back to inventory. No clerk action needed. The guest receives an automated email notification with the charge details and cancellation policy reference.
Guests who remain past their scheduled checkout date are automatically detected during the audit. The system extends their reservation by one night, posts the additional room charge, and notifies the front desk. If the guest's card on file can't be re-authorized for the extended amount, a priority alert surfaces at the front desk for morning follow-up.
