Apahero trainer notes
- This lesson is about manual check-out done by the hotel team in Apaleo. Adapt it if you have a different check-out flow, for example with a kiosk, digital guest journey app, or an automation in Apaleo.
- A common mistake to avoid: users sometimes manually post open charges on the folio and ignore the warning pop up message that once this is done, it will no longer be possible to amend the reservation to an earlier departure date and free up the room for another reservation.
