New provider, same problem. It is rarely because you chose wrong. A provider moves money. Reconciliation, reporting and visibility live in the operation around it, not inside it. Swap the provider and the gaps stay. Match the tool to the problem.
No two hotels run the same way, even in one group. Not chaos: each was built around a different guest. How a hotel asks you to pay is a hospitality choice. A group isn't one business in many places. It's many businesses under one name.
Every month, your finance team rebuilds the truth. Every system tells a different story about the same money — the POS, the acquirers, the bank. It's not counting. It's connecting. Reconciliation time is the tax you pay on fragmentation.
Spent the last few months talking to hotel groups and finance teams across Europe. Almost all think they have a payment problem. The more I talked with them, the less I believed it. They have a fragmentation problem. The systems just don't talk. More soon.
