Reporting
Real insights about your property, live
Cardinal reads your bookings as they stand and tells you what is at risk, what to watch, where there is an opportunity and what is on track. Click one and you land on the screen that deals with it.
Insights
Four kinds of insight, each one a link
Around thirty checks run against your live bookings. Each finding opens the screen that deals with it, with the filter already set.
- Risk
- Money or a stay in danger today. $420 owing across today's departures.
- Watch
- Something to deal with before it becomes a problem. 2 of today's 5 arrivals have no guarantee.
- Opportunity
- Revenue you could still pick up. Next weekend is only 48% booked, or three in-house stays have no activity booked.
- On track
- What is going well, so a quiet day reads as a quiet day. You're nearly full tonight.
- Only while it is true
- Most findings appear when the condition behind them does and leave when it is fixed, so the list is always about today.
The daily report on the demo property. Today's column is live. The earlier periods and the last-year columns are modeled rather than measured, and the screen says so above the table.
Reports
Today's numbers, the forecast and your own reports
Daily report
ADR, RevPAR, occupancy and revenue for today, read live off the board, with activities and shop sales beside the rooms. Month-to-date and year-to-date columns sit alongside, marked as modeled on screen, in the CSV and on the printout.
Forecast in two layers
For each future date, what is already booked, shown apart from the estimate, so you can see how much of the forecast is confirmed.

Pick a date range, then by day, week or month, and get the table, a chart and a CSV export.
Also in the back office
The records behind the numbers
- A filterable activity log of what happened and who did it
- A guest database with sortable columns and folio history per guest
- Full guest record editing
- CSV import for guests and reservations
- CSV exports and a full JSON backup of everything, on demand
Before any accounting report is opened or exported, Cardinal checks that no lines are missing from the books.
Questions
Asked and answered
How do I know the numbers are right?
Roughly forty dedicated automated test suites cover the money paths: tax arithmetic, folio math, ledger reconciliation, refunds, rates, packages, concurrency. Several thousand assertions run in multiple timezones on every change. Beyond that, the system reconciles the entire property against the ledger before any report is exported and flags anything it cannot verify.
Can I import my existing data?
Yes, and it is in the price rather than a line on an onboarding order. Guests and reservations come across by CSV, and we do the first pass with you on a call using your real rooms and rates. The same door works outward: CSV exports and a full JSON backup of everything, self-serve, whenever you want them.
What does my accountant get?
A detailed transaction export with tax split by component, an accountant summary, a GST/QST remittance report, a payment reconciliation, and a monthly archive that keeps all four for every completed month. GL codes are configurable and mapped at export.
Do you have a night audit?
No, and there is nothing here for one to do. A night audit exists in legacy systems because the books are only correct after a batch process rolls the day. In Cardinal every transaction posts as it happens and the ledger is always current. Instead of a nightly close there is an automatic sweep that resolves no-shows and overdue check-outs, and a completeness reconciliation that runs before you read any report.
