Nodomo for hotels

Open on the date
you announced

Construction hands over, and 180 days later you open. Nodomo runs that gap as one flow, so the GM sees which department is holding the date.

From construction handover to opening dayOne owner for every next step
From the Amply team. Trusted by multi-location brands.
Keep opening day in sight

Small delays.
Big opening-day impact.

Licences, hiring, procurement and commissioning run in parallel after construction hands over. Give the GM a clear view of the department and decision holding the date.

Licences surface late

The certificate is with the authority. The sheet has said "in progress" for three weeks.

Budget approvals stall

OS&E, IT and HR budgets go up as attachments. One approver holds every PO behind them.

Departments wait on each other

Kitchen commissioning waits on gas. The contractor is in no system. Everyone finds out on the weekly call.

Hotels use cases

Every department.
One opening date.

Start from a template for the work between construction and opening day, or build a flow for anything else: renovations, licence renewals, spa and F&B launches.

Backward-scheduled from the opening date, so the GM sees D-30 and D-7 across budget, licences, hiring and the 24-hour simulation.

Budget approvals gate the spend: POs open only once finance signs off, and every FF&E and OS&E delivery carries a date and an owner.

Contractors upload FLS, gas, water and kitchen test reports from a link, so engineering sees which systems are camera ready.

Reminders chase the late steps: GM onboarding, HOD offers, mass hiring days and training, all due before the simulation.

Each brand standard closes with a photo, from the mock-up room to signage, uniforms, the PMS switch and the final brand inspection.

The hard part is the handoff.

“It was the handoffs. One approval waiting on another. A vendor update sitting somewhere. A team finding out too late that an upstream task had slipped.”

Protect your opening date

Every late day
has a cost.

Pre-openings commonly run 30 to 45% past plan. Every week past the announced date is room, F&B and banquet revenue lost, with payroll and the loan already running.

A few things to know

Your questions,
answered.

We run construction on a PMIS. Where does Nodomo start?

At handover. Construction tools stop when the building is ready. Nodomo runs everything after: budgets, hiring, licences, commissioning, launch and handover to operations.

Is Nodomo hotel project management software or a workflow tool?

Both, for one kind of project: cross-functional work with deadlines, approvals and external users. Generic project management tools stop at your company's login page. Nodomo keeps contractors, consultants and brand reps in the flow from email, with no new platform for anyone to adopt.

Can we plan backward from a fixed opening date, and see the reason when something slips?

Yes. Set the opening date and Nodomo backward-schedules every task from it, giving the GM a D-30, D-15 and D-7 view. When a step is rescheduled the owner records a reason, so you know which department caused the delay.

Can renovations and licence renewals run on it too?

Yes. Renovations use the same playbook with a closure window and a reopening date. Licence renewals start on their own, with enough lead time and the right owner.

Our contractors and consultants will not use another tool.

They never have to. They get a link by email or WhatsApp, upload the test report or photo, and it lands in the flow with a timestamp.

How fast can we set up a pre-opening?

Start from the pre-opening template or upload the tracker you use today. Most teams have the flow running the same day.

Build your next opening in Nodomo.

Start from the Retail Opening Template or bring the tracker your team already uses. See your first opening as one connected flow.
