Canary Technologies Launches AI-Powered Sales & Catering Payments Hub for Hotels
Hotel sales, events, and finance teams have a new way to move faster. Canary Technologies has released an AI-powered Sales & Catering Payments Hub that speeds up contracting, simplifies payments, and frees staff from manual admin.
The result: more closed deals, lower payment costs, and clean reconciliation without the late-night spreadsheet grind.
Why it matters for hospitality and events teams
Catering and events can drive 25-50% of total revenue in full-service hotels. Slow contracts and clunky payments cut directly into margin and guest confidence.
This hub streamlines the path from proposal to paid-so teams focus on business, not busywork.
What you can do with it
- Automate routine sales and events workflows to remove manual data entry and follow-ups.
- Collect payments via card or ACH through a personalized digital dashboard.
- Reduce processing costs and reconcile payments faster at month-end.
- Give sales more time to prospect and close while finance keeps cash flow predictable.
How it works
AI handles the repetitive steps that slow down contracting and collections. Clients receive clear, digital requests and pay in a click-card or ACH-without friction.
- Digital contracts, approvals, and secure payments in one place.
- Real-time payment status for sales and finance.
- Fewer errors, fewer back-and-forths, faster close.
Leadership perspective
SJ Sawhney, co-founder and president of Canary Technologies, notes that hotel sales processes are often weighed down by admin work. The new hub uses AI to speed up deals, improve client engagement, and keep revenue moving.
Availability and integration
The Sales & Catering Payments Hub is available now and integrates with Canary's all-in-one guest management platform. It extends capabilities already used by tens of thousands of hotels worldwide.
