Run your hotel from one account
Staff payroll, vendor payments, guest billing and operational expenses — all in one place. Built for Nigerian hotels.
- Free to start
- No monthly fee
- Pay per transaction
The financial capabilities your hotel needs
Staff payroll
Pay receptionists, housekeeping, chefs and managers on time. Handle shift-based pay, overtime and casual staff without manual calculations.
Vendor payments
Pay linen suppliers, food vendors, maintenance contractors and utilities directly from your account. Track who is owed and what has been settled.
Guest billing
Track guest folio charges, room charges, restaurant bills, minibar and extras in one place. Reconcile at checkout without chasing paper receipts.
Expense management
Capture every purchase from cleaning supplies to generator fuel. Categorised automatically so you know exactly where the money goes.
Operational expense tracking
Every operational cost captured with a category, receipt and approver so spending is visible in real time across departments.
Financial reporting
Payroll summaries, vendor spend, guest revenue and expense breakdowns — all generated from the same data in real time.
Every charge tracked from check-in to checkout
Guests charge meals, spa treatments and extras to their room throughout their stay. Without a central financial system these charges get lost between departments, and the front desk spends hours reconciling at checkout. Niimbu links every financial charge to the guest account in real time.
- Charges posted instantly from any department
- Mini-bar, restaurant and spa linked to the room folio
- Running total visible at the front desk at all times
- Checkout summary generated automatically
Pay your suppliers on time, every time
Hotels depend on dozens of suppliers — linen, toiletries, food, cleaning products, fuel. Without a system, payments pile up and suppliers are paid late. Niimbu tracks every obligation and pays on schedule.
- Supplier accounts with payment history and balances
- Scheduled payments so vendors are settled on time
- Purchase records with dates and agreed rates
- Running cost tracking per supplier category

The financial pain points every hotel manager knows
Without Niimbu
- Guest charges from the restaurant, spa and minibar are recorded on paper slips that get lost before checkout
- Staff are paid late because payroll is built from handwritten timesheets that take days to compile
- Vendor payments pile up in a notebook and are settled inconsistently, damaging supplier relationships
- Revenue reports arrive weeks after the month closes, so decisions are based on stale numbers
- Cash from the front desk disappears between the till and the bank deposit with no audit trail
- No way to see actual profit per room or per property because income and expenses sit in different places
With Niimbu
- Every guest charge posted in real time to a single financial folio visible at the front desk
- Automated payroll built from verified shift data, paid on the same day every time
- Vendor accounts with payment schedules, so suppliers are paid on time and in full
- Revenue and expense reports updated daily, so you see performance while it is still current
- Daily reconciliation between POS, bank and till that flags discrepancies immediately
- Income and expenses in one system, giving you actual profit per room and per property
We built Niimbu because Nigerian hospitality businesses deserve financial tools that match the pace of their operations.
Every feature, from real-time guest folios to automated vendor payments, was shaped by conversations with hotel managers who needed clarity, not complexity.
Frequently asked questions
Everything hotel owners and managers ask about the financial side of using Niimbu.
Does Niimbu replace our property management system?
No. Niimbu is the financial layer that works alongside your PMS. Your existing system for reservations, room management and guest profiles stays exactly where it is. Niimbu handles the money side — staff payroll, vendor payments, guest billing and operational expenses.
Can I track guest charges from different departments?
Yes. Charges from the front desk, restaurant, spa, minibar and any other department are posted to the guest folio in real time. At checkout, the full summary is ready without chasing paper receipts.
Does Niimbu handle hotel staff payroll?
Yes. Receptionists, housekeeping, chefs, managers and security are all handled. Niimbu calculates pay from verified shift data, handles overtime and casual staff, and pays everyone on the agreed date.
How does expense tracking work for a hotel?
Any purchase, from toiletries to generator fuel, is captured with a photo or entered directly. Niimbu categorises it automatically based on the vendor and your history, so you see exactly where your operational spend goes.
Can I manage multiple properties from one account?
Yes. Each property has its own records, and you can see consolidated revenue, costs and profit across all locations or drill into a single property. Compare side by side without visiting each one.
Does it work for short-let apartments and guest houses?
The same tools apply. Whether you operate a hotel, a short-let apartment or a guest house, Niimbu tracks guest charges, staff pay, vendor payments and expenses the same way.
How does checkout reconciliation work?
When a guest checks out, Niimbu generates a full folio summary showing all charges. The front desk reviews, processes payment and the account is closed. No items fall through the cracks.
Does Niimbu handle VAT and tax for hotels?
Niimbu records all income and expenses with the detail your accountant needs. VAT collected on room charges and VAT paid on purchases are tracked separately, so your tax position is visible throughout the year.
Is there a free plan for small hospitality businesses?
Opening an account is free and there is no monthly platform fee. You are charged per transaction when money moves. A quiet week costs you nothing, and you can add as many staff as the business needs without extra charges.
