Sample briefing
A morning brief that reads like a GM wrote it.
Not a chart dump. A short, declarative paragraph that names what changed, why, and what to do about it — built from your PMS, budget, comp set, and OTA feed.
- Named anomalies with property-specific context
- Channel commission drift before month-end
- Optional GM email at 7am, opt-in per property
- One-tap "ask follow-up" with cited data
Daily AI briefing · 08:14
Strong RevPAR, labor over budget Tuesday
RevPAR is up 4.2% week-on-week, driven by a stronger weekday mix (corporate +9 rooms). ADR held at $246, occupancy softened on Sunday (−2.1pp).
Labor came in 11% over budget Tuesday — likely tied to the Friday banquet shift overlap. Revenue still covered it (+$1.4k F&B), so margin held.
One thing to look at: Booking.com commission is trending toward 21% of OTA revenue. Repricing direct could recover ~$3.1k/mo.

Anomaly playbook
Catch revenue leakage before month-end.
Avenlyr reviews the property data you import — labor, OTA commissions, vendor spend, channel mix — and surfaces variances tied to your numbers, not third-party comp benchmarks.
- Anomaly detection across your imported PMS + finance data
- Severity-ranked: green / amber / red
- Linked to the underlying transactions
- Snooze or escalate to the GM (Slack push coming soon)
