Why Hoteliers Are Ditching Spreadsheets (And You Should Too)

• August 04 2025

Spreadsheets have been a reliable tool for decades. From managing room inventories to tracking staff schedules, they’ve done it all. But in today’s fast-paced hotel environment, are they still helping—or holding you back?

Let’s look at why modern hoteliers are saying goodbye to Excel.
 

The Problems with Spreadsheets:
 

• Prone to errors: One wrong formula can throw off your entire P&L.
• Time-consuming: Manually updating bookings, payments, and guest info eats up hours.
• Lack of real-time collaboration: Teams often work off outdated versions or accidentally overwrite each other’s data.
• No automation: Spreadsheets don’t send reminders, auto-calculate taxes, or generate invoices.
