In the 4* hotel I work as a night audit (in germany), we do not have to do any laundry work. Honestly its just some simple paper work, some check ins and check out (maybe) and after that I just watch videos, read, write or play for like 4 hours and get payed for it lol; with an extra 30% cause of the night shift. Can not complain much and noone is bothering me

[@nightowl5475]

In the states, this country is all about efficiency and multi-tasking. They have their night auditors doing the laundry, folding the towels, and putting out the morning breakfast. Soon, within the next 5 years, the Night Auditor will be cleaning the restrooms! They have totally ruined and demoralized this position.

[@dukedase7]

@@nightowl5475 Fortunately not at my hotel yet. I work Night Audit and I get there, count the cash, maybe have 1-3 check ins. Average 0-1 honestly. I do night audit, which takes 3 minutes and is all on the computer. Then I'm done. I sit there for 4-5 hours and then spend 15-30 mins setting up breakfast (only takes longer than 15 mins if I have to make waffle mix etc) and then I sit there for another 90 mins, maybe 1-5 departures. It's basically 6 hours of chilling on my phone. Once I buy a laptop I'll just be gaming lol.

[@micb7180]

Worked for a small hotel 17 years now, and I've done the night audit for 13 of it. Here we are expected (from beginning of shift to end), check in guests, clean lobby and all places the public can see, clean public and employee bathrooms, sweep and mop all floors, clean all glass (doors, windows, etc...), do night audit, set up breakfast, finish all laundry before leaving, and check out any guests leaving before nightshift ends. When I started I just did the laundry 20hrs a week. Then I moved to housekeeping which I only did for about a year before actually moving to the night auditor position. It's not too bad since we are a 39 room small hotel, but having lazy ass co-workers does not help. Now I work 3pm - 11pm 3 days a week, and only 2 overnight shifts.

Wow. I'm a night auditor, have been 18 years. Go in 9:30 PM and go home 8 am. I am constantly busy. Never ends. Stocking, cleaning, laundry, paperwork, double checking all transactions of the day. Four am run the audit then it's time to get breakfast out and keep in stocked while doing desk job, check in check out. Phones, then getting supplies if needed, watering plants and bushes outside. Sweeping floors. Emptying trash, cleaning the office, bathroom, lobby, breakfast room. I'm tired. Forty hours in 4 days

[@Kai-lt8ji]

You sound more like a maintenance man

[@cell718]

I did night Aduit for 4 years I didn't do any of that, even when the maintenance man quit. The trash got crazy high I had 2 days off and the trash was still there when I got back. Plus I never left the office, one time a guest called the police on some guy walking around the parking lot and it turned into a whole thing everybody wanted camera footage and everything. I gave no one nothing and didn't tell my coworkers just left after my shift.

[@neondeon475]

I've worked night audit for years at many different branded hotels. I have always enjoyed it. Its easy, less people to deal with, no management or daytime players so less work drama. The cons are the eating and sleeping habits along with dealing with in house crap like drunks, druggies and noise complaints. Or when a full house/oversold and you have to walk the last few guests arriving to other hotels, they can get quite irate. In my current night audit position, I never see a guest or take a phone call. It's very peaceful to sit, drink coffee listen to the fire and netflix or music or night audit videos like yours haha! I love Opera it is by far the easiest system I have worked on and the end of day roll does everything like you said, years ago we had to use calculators and tally every single bill of the day. It was crazy balancing out all departments, especially when other workers were short or screwed up their bills and cashouts. It meant analyzing and finding the mistakes to fix them for the end of day. Those days are now like you said, a hit of a few buttons. I think if you like nights its a great hotel job.

Thanks for posting the video. It was really helpfully to get an inside look on what I will be doing

[@kasnarfburns210]

When I first entered the hotel industry many years ago, I did the front desk thing for a while but was offered the night audit position and took it for I thought it would be more interesting and challenging. Turned out I was right on both counts for reasons I didn't anticipate. Some of the perks of working the night shift are you're always going in the opposite direction of rush hour traffic, fewer crowds in the supermarket, stores, etc. after work and you have much of your daylight hours to yourself. If you're a very social person, however, it puts you out of synch with most other people's schedules. Another annoying thing is when you're tasked to do something during the day like jury duty, or a social event, people find it amusing that you're sleepy during the day. They should try working MY shift and see how they fare. So it can be isolating and alienating at times. Much rides on how the property is situated and the quality of management. Most of these KZbin videos surrounding the night audit describes how there's so much down time and boredom. My last night audit job was anything but boring. It was more like an income auditor position. My Excel skills truly put to the test. I've worked the night audit at 3 properties. What I discovered is there's a LOT of prejudice from the public and even management about people who work night shifts. For some reason, the public tends to think you must be the WORST employee for being assigned the night audit, impaired somehow, maybe alcoholic and/or you're the least competent employee. I knew from college that I was a night owl. Little praise is bestowed on night owls as compared to early risers for some reason. And if guests don't see you standing at the front desk when they show up out of the blue, they assume you're sleeping somewhere. I recall once depositing credit card batches on a PC in the back office when I heard someone lightly tapping their fingers at the front desk. When I emerged from the back, the first words out of the lady's mouth were "Sorry to have AWAKENED you." I wanted to ask her if she thought that tapping actually woke me up. It appears to me that many would-scammers show up at hotels after hours. I think they realize it's likely you're the only person on duty - besides security and maybe the valet attendant I haven't mentioned those who will create fake issues/problems at night, will come back in the morning when they feel you've left for the day and complain that you were rude or didn't resolve their issue, etc. I've been in the business long enough to detect many a scam in progress but depending on the rapport you have with your co-workers and management ( or lack thereof) the day shift can heed your warnings or act like they don't know what you're talking about and act as if the guests are not ONLY always right but always 100% truthful too. And they incentivize these scams by doling out compensation and then looking to put the onus on you, the night audit. When someone walks in a hotel lobby from outside after hours, looks at me and asks "Are you the manager?" ( I only realized recently that I've been dealing with KARENS for years) I tend to think the person is looking to waste my time. I'd be thinking " Did something happen outside with the valet that's prompting you to ask for the manager? If not then what possible reason could you have for asking for the manager when you haven't even gotten to your room - and it's AFTER 11PM?" I always look to see at what hour they've checked in. My posture is often "What do you expect me to tell you at 2AM that you didn't hear at 4PM when you first arrived?" Oftentimes they're looking to rope you into an issue they've already brought up with the day management and seeing what they can get out of you. So as far as I'm concerned they're wasting my time and looking at me as possibly the weakest link in the hotel's armor. I've always appreciated the accounting part of the night audit - dealing with the front desk not so much. I had gotten fired from my previous night audit job - NOT for incompetence or shoddy work ( at least as far as accounting is concerned) but for allegedly violating their secure KEY policy. Considering the circumstance, it appeared to be a flimsy excuse to fire me. It was LIKE they were looking for an excuse. When I think about it that was the first time I ever got fired from a hotel job. It was a new management company and I find they often look for excuses to rid themselves of the previous staff. They had fired our director of sales and more or less "pushed out" the general manager. ( They got visited with a WHOLE heap of Karma when they fired me, however, but that's another story) I'm currently working as the accounting manager (the whole accounting department for that matter) at a small hotel. It's been a challenge but I think I might finally be hitting my stride after my FIFTH monthly closing. As far as the night audit goes, I hope to NEVER stand on that side of a front desk again for the rest of my natural life.

As I stumbled upon a video showcasing the intricate workings of a hotel's night audit, I expected a mundane glimpse into routine tasks. However, what unfolded on screen was a revelation that would alter the course of my life forever. The quiet hum of the lobby at midnight, the meticulous balancing of accounts, and the solitary moments of reflection resonated deeply within me. In those fleeting minutes, I found myself captivated by the unseen heroism of the night auditor, a silent guardian ensuring the seamless orchestration of a bustling establishment while the world slept. The video's portrayal of solitude transformed into a profound reflection on self-reliance and responsibility, igniting a dormant spark within my soul. Inspired by the unseen dedication and unwavering commitment depicted in the video, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. With newfound determination, I pursued opportunities to immerse myself in the hospitality industry, craving the challenge and fulfillment found in the quiet hours of the night. That video, a mere glimpse into a world often overlooked, became the catalyst for a transformative chapter in my life. It taught me the power of embracing the unseen, the value of perseverance, and the beauty of finding purpose in unexpected places. Forever changed by its impact, I now stride forward with renewed passion, ready to embrace the challenges and triumphs that lie ahead.

There's always a story! Gotta love Opera. Been in hospitality for 29 yrs along with being an auditor, GM, AGM, FOM and everything in between. Use to be a great job but the 3rd parties and corporate guest have ruined the hospitality industry. No more Mom & Dads with the families, well at least few and far between. During the mid 2000's with all the credit card fraud that happened with the less than scrupulous auditors they simply made auditors glorified desk clerks taking away all their responsibilities of doing the accounting paperwork and balancing the hotel before running the audit. Which took most of the night. Use to be GM then Night Auditor in command. That's how important the Audit position was! We knew everything about the hotel and how it ran and we did it all on our own. Now auditors have to do all the frivolous crap like laundry, cleaning, etc. You new guys have no ides how easy you have it.

[@neondeon475]

You took the words right out of my mouth! Brilliantly described. And factual too.

I'm a 24 year old screwed up autistic shut-in that dislikes dealing with people and has sensory issues (My brain's fucked up and incorrectly processes certain specific normal everyday sensations as being weirdly unpleasant or outright painful, that's what I mean by "sensory issues". Thankfully there's lots of stimuli that my brain processes normally but enough normal stuff gets processed as pain that I lost my last job because it caused me to do the work too slowly). I have an interview for a night auditing position at a small motel in upstate NY today, will probably be able to get it because I can fake being normal decently enough in superficial interactions. I'm hoping that it'll be like this and be something that I can handle so I can finally become a semi-functional member of society. Thanks for the peek into the day-to-day of the job.

I recommend checking different hotels in your area and checking what they are paying their night auditors (it varies everywhere) and compare it to what you're making now.

When you're being trained ASK QUESTIONS if you don't understand something. Being by yourself means you can't easily just ask someone something you don't know during your shift. However, the auditing part is automated and done completely by the computers, so you really are just making sure it's doing that correctly.

@@anderbans thanks for the insight, im looking to get a night auditor job in my area do you have any tips to get the job?

[@anderbans]

@@postghost6536 No problem. And the advice I'd give you is to be open to the job if you've never done it before. Make sure you note each task you're expected to complete by the morning shift because it's just you there, no manager. Also, it's easier to stay up all night if you're already a night owl.

[@postghost6536]

@@anderbans if im already a night owl is it still bad for my health to work night shift? Also do al hotels have u backup the system on just some? I main interest is the downtime in this job as i have some online side hustles I could do while at work and i hear hotel workers get benefits too like health insurence some are unionized i hear

[@anderbans]

@@postghost6536 I wouldn't say it would be bad for your health if you're already staying up all night. And when we do the audit we're technically backing up the system for the day. And you can easily do any number of extra things during the many hours of downtime during your shift. Also they are not unionized, at least I wasn't, but you can get benefits like health insurance.

I'm considering trying night audit at 65 with a spinal cord injury. I have balance issues and I walk very slowly. I live near a small resort town in West Kentucky. We have a Hampton Inn and a Days Inn. Both are small and more like a motel than a typical Hotel. Am I kidding myself or is this something I could realistically do? I didn't see anything in this video that I felt I couldn't handle.

It's an easy-to-do job with clear expectations. If you can read and follow basic instructions you will excel in the position!

Tips for juggling your two part time jobs and their hours??

[@anderbans]

Sleep as much as you can, it's hard to find time for a consistent health amount of sleep working odd hours.

You are using Opera PMS.

[@anderbans]

True!

[@liesvermeersch3891]

Iv done opera night audits for 2 years sometimes you need to expand dates of pms before you can go.. not always that easy..

[@nishab.4544]

do you have any interview tips ??

[@travisgosselin8486]

Starting an night auddit job on monday, ive never done something like this before, are there any tips or advice you could give for someone just starting this job?

[@Wixom2200]

Don't work days or afternoons. Too unpredictable and crazy. From 3 rd party overselling property to every guest wanting 10 extra towels right after check in. Those are just one or two minor ones. Weekends and the pool could be a WHOLE other video with comments. These positions are VERY stressful even for the experienced polished agent.

[@liesvermeersch3891]

Sleep during the day😅

[@williamsmith8041]

Wish the hotel where I'm going had opera,they have fosse and no intentions of changing it.

[@anderbans]

I've never used Fosse but all of the hotel management software is intending to make the job easier, just takes some times to learn the basics first.

[@juliecurrier1507]

is it realistic to think one could take a job like this and write during the downtime?

[@supererikman5331]

Interesting video but i would avoid saying anything negative about your job responsibilities, you Dont want to get canned

[@williamsmith8041]

If you started as a night auditor ,what would be the next position to move too??

[@anderbans]

Probably either the general manager or sales manager positions. Realistically, changing jobs is probably a better alternative in today's day and age.

[@williamsmith8041]

@@anderbans changing from hotels to a different industry or to a different hotel???

[@anderbans]

@@williamsmith8041 Yeah, that too! I would always keep an eye on what the average hourly pay is for Night Auditors in your town to get a good idea of what to expect.

[@sergionunez3008]

Probably make another copy if you will blame that you didn't do it.

First time doing this and it was strange lol.
