Canary Technologies Launches AI-Powered Sales & Catering Payments Hub for Hotels
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - October 21, 2025 - Canary Technologies has introduced an AI-powered Sales & Catering Payments Hub that helps hotel teams close deals faster and get paid without friction. The platform streamlines sales, events, and finance workflows so teams spend less time on admin and more time on revenue.
What's new
The hub brings proposals, contracts, and payments into a single, digital flow. Clients pay via a personalized dashboard using card or ACH, cutting processing costs and reducing back-and-forth. Sales teams move deals to "won" faster; finance gets clean data and quick reconciliation.
Why it matters for Sales & Catering
Catering and events can account for 25-50% of total revenue in full-service hotels. Faster contracting and simpler payments directly impact conversion rates, cash flow, and team bandwidth.
- Close business faster with fewer manual steps and delays.
- Collect payments via card or ACH to lower fees and reduce chargebacks.
- Give clients a clean, branded dashboard for contracts and invoices.
- Free up sellers to prospect, nurture accounts, and upsell.
- Help finance reconcile payments in minutes, not days.
How payments flow
Clients receive a secure link to a personalized dashboard and can pay by credit card or ACH. ACH often carries lower processing costs than cards, which can add up fast for large deposits and final balances. Learn more about ACH from Nacha.
Once paid, transactions sync into the back office for quick reconciliation, reducing manual work and late-payment chases.
AI where it counts
"Sales processes in hotels have long been bogged down by mundane manual data entry and administrative work," said SJ Sawhney, Co-Founder and President of Canary Technologies. With the new hub, teams use Canary AI to move faster, improve client engagement, and keep revenue moving.
Available now and built to fit
The Sales & Catering Payments Hub is available immediately. It extends Canary's Sales & Catering capabilities and connects with the company's all-in-one Guest Management Platform used by tens of thousands of hotels worldwide.
