Comprehensive User Manual PersonaHub Financial.

Welcome to the PersonaHub interactive manual. This guide is designed to help Hotel Owners, General Managers, and Financial Controllers instantly master our AI-driven financial workflow.

1. Introduction & Core Concepts

PersonaHub Financial is an advanced Enterprise-Grade Artificial Intelligence Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) specifically engineered for real-time hospitality financial performance analysis.

Core System Concepts:

  • Centralized Ledger Data: Input your Actual & Target (Budget) data through a single, unified smart portal.
  • Automated Financial Calculations: The system computes Gross Operating Profit (GOP), margins, occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR instantly without error-prone Excel formulas.
  • AI Predictive Engine: Transforms historical data into predictive diagnostics, giving your hotel operations a definitive edge.

2. Access Rights & Roles (RBAC)

This application features a strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) hierarchy to prevent unauthorized staff from accessing sensitive financial data.

Enterprise

Corporate Admin

Board of Directors / Hotel Group Owners. Has exclusive access to the /corporate page to view Multi-Tenant Leaderboards, Cross-Branch Market Share, and the Grand Total Portfolio for the Holding Company.

Hotel Admin

General Managers / Financial Controllers. Can only view their assigned property. Has authority to add departments, lock financial periods (Closing Book), and manage Staff accounts.

Staff

Accountants / Data Entry Admins. Responsible solely for inputting numbers (Actual & Budget) on the Ledger menu. No authority to alter hotel configurations.

3. Property & Department Setup

Your property's fundamental configurations are managed via the Admin Setup (/admin) menu.

1

User Management & Licenses

Select the 'User Access' tab to add accounting staff. To unlock specific A La Carte AI Module licenses, contact your PersonaHub Account Manager. Hotel Admins can only create Staff roles.

2

Active License Early Warning System

We designed a foolproof billing system. If you have 10 days left on your license, a Yellow Warning Screen appears. Once expired, a Red Screen activates (Read-Only mode), halting data saving. Renew immediately at /billing to unlock your historical data.

Creating Ledger Department Structures

The AI engine requires a financial blueprint. Navigate to 'Department Setup' and create departments based on these 4 types:

  • STAT: For basic hotel metrics (Required codes
  • REVENUE: Income generating departments (e.g., ROOM, FB, SPA).
  • COST: Cost of Goods Sold and Operational Expenses (e.g., COST_ROOM, AOG).
  • GOP: Profit summary / Gross Operating Profit target (e.g., GOP).

4. Multi-Tenant Corporate Dashboard

Exclusive Feature: Corporate & Enterprise Plan

For Executive Directors or Hotel Group Owners (Corporate Admin Role), the exclusive /corporate page displays a consolidated real-time performance view of all properties under the same Entity Name on a single command center screen.

  • Grand Total Portfolio: Real-time accumulation of Total Revenue and GOP across 5 to dozens of properties. Eliminates the need for weekly Excel file exchanges between GMs.
  • Multi-Property Leaderboard: Automated competitive ranking system. Displays which branches achieved the highest and lowest percentage against their monthly budget (% Achieved).
  • Market Share (Consolidated Pie Chart): Visualizes the revenue contribution percentage of each property to the holding company's total turnover. Crucial for investment allocation decisions.

5. Data Entry & Ledger Closing

Accounting staff must use the Ledger Entry (/input) page to input the monthly Profit and Loss statement.

  • Left column (Purple Text) is for Actual figures. Right column (Gray Text) is for Budget targets.
  • Click the SAVE LEDGER button at the bottom. Data is securely saved and all AI dashboard calculations update instantly!

Lock Period (Monthly Book Closing)

After the month-end evaluation, the General Manager must press the red 'CLOSE / LOCK DATA' button. This high-level audit feature permanently locks all numbers for that month, preventing staff modifications. Secure Enterprise systems require protection against back-dating fraud.

6. Navigating the Main Dashboard

The Dashboard (/dashboard) displays key performance indicators cleanly, without requiring complex interpretations.

Smart Automated Calculations

  • GOP: Revenue - Expense. The purest indicator of your operational health.
  • % Margin: Variances instantly calculated with Green/Red color coding.

8. Troubleshooting & FAQ

Why is my 'SAVE LEDGER' button grayed out?
Answer: Two possibilities: First, the Hotel Admin (GM) has pressed 'Lock Period', sealing the month to prevent back-dating. Second, your hotel subscription has expired (red screen warning). Contact central management.
I clicked 'Auto Budget Generator' but it won't open. There's a padlock icon. Why?
Answer: Because advanced AI features are Pay-walled for the standard plan. You must Upgrade License to Corporate or Enterprise to unlock them. This maintains exclusive LLM computing power on our servers.
How is % Margin GOP (Gross Operating Profit) calculated?
Answer: The system automatically sums all 'REVENUE' category inputs, minus the sum of all 'COST' category inputs. Margin is (GOP / Total Revenue) x 100.
