Arrivals, in house and departures on one board
The front desk shows today's arrivals, the guests in house and the departures side by side, each with its folio balance, and checks guests in and out from the same screen.
Front desk · Lakeside Guest House
In short
The Front desk board lists Arrivals, In house and Departures for the property's business date, with each stay's folio balance. Check in, Check out and Check out early start from the row, and the board updates live as bookings change.
The problem it solves
At seven in the morning the desk needs to know who is leaving, who has not paid and which rooms are coming free, and the answer is spread across a register, a spreadsheet and the housekeeper's memory.

Audit warning
It says so when the night audit has not run for a date.
-
The hotel day the desk is working on. It moves forward when the night audit closes the night, so a check in after midnight still lands on the right day.
-
Yes. Each property keeps its own business date, and the board can show one property or all of them.
-
When the balance cannot be worked out, the board shows a dash rather than a zero that might be wrong.
