Restaurant and hotel finance teams tell us these are their major challenges.

Stack

Endless supplier invoices

From food and beverage vendors to utilities, facilities, and staffing agencies, invoices flood in daily. Manual entry slows everything down and errors slip through.

delay

Late or rushed payments

When invoices sit in inboxes, finance teams scramble to catch up. The result is rushed or late payments that strain supplier relationships and risk disrupting food supply or guest services.

Inconsistent AP across properties

Hotel chains and restaurant groups struggle to maintain consistency across locations. Without centralized visibility, finance leaders lack control over cash flow, vendor spend, and compliance, leaving margins exposed.

How does automated invoice processing for hotels and restaurants work?

Capture all invoices with AI

Hotels and restaurants receive a flood of invoices every month from food and beverage suppliers, utilities, housekeeping, and service vendors.

Instead of relying on staff to key in line items or chase down paper copies, Rillion automatically reads and interprets each invoice with AI-powered capture. No matter the format the system extracts the key details (vendor, reference, amount, tax) and prepares them for the next step.

This feature means your team can spend less time entering data and more time focusing on your guests and operations.

Approve invoices quickly

Once invoices are in the system, they’re automatically routed to the correct manager or approver. You can make mobile-friendly approvals on the go, which prevents delays that risk vendor trust or service interruptions.

Rillion also sends automatic reminders so invoices don’t get stuck in inboxes. With full visibility into each invoice’s status, hospitality leaders gain control and peace of mind that payments are moving forward, even during busy seasons.

Match invoices to POs and receipts

To protect margins, every detail matters. That’s why Rillion automatically cross-checks invoices against purchase orders, delivery receipts, or contracts.

Did the case of wine arrive as ordered? Were the linens billed at the agreed rate? With 3-way PO matching, discrepancies are flagged immediately, reducing the risk of overbilling or fraud. If everything aligns, the invoice flows through untouched; if not, the system highlights only the exceptions for review.

Make payments

Once invoices are approved, Rillion posts invoices with coding directly into your ERP for payment. That ensures the books are always accurate and reconciliations are effortless.

You can also choose to manage supplier payments directly in Rillion with Rillion Pay.
