Automatic check-out

Last updated: 2026-05-29

Automatic check-out closes folios at a set time each day for any guest whose departure date has passed and who hasn't been checked out manually. It prevents rooms from sitting in Occupied overnight after the guest has already left.

How it works

At the property's day roll time, Drömlik scans every occupied room. For each one with a departure date earlier than today, it:

  • closes the folio with the final balance
  • emails the invoice to the guest (if an email is on file)
  • marks the room Vacant – Dirty
  • creates a housekeeping task
  • logs an Auto check-out entry on the guest's history

Configure auto check-out

  1. 1

    Open the property settings

    Go to Hotel → Settings → Day roll.

  2. 2

    Set the time

    Choose when the daily scan runs. Most properties set this to 04:00 — well after the night audit, well before reception opens.

  3. 3

    Choose payment behaviour

    Decide what to do when a folio has an unpaid balance:

    • Charge the card on file — automatic, no human in the loop.
    • Hold for reception — folio is closed but flagged for manual settlement.
    • Skip — leave the room occupied and notify reception.
  4. 4

    Save

    Auto check-out runs at the configured time every night.
