New York City, New York - July 24, 2024 – ROH, the hospitality industry’s first payments and revenue management platform designed to help hotels increase profitability, today announced that over $100 million in booking value has run through the platform as hotel operators, owners and brands tap the integrated platform for better business outcomes. The $100 million in booking value is derived from hotels utilizing ROH across revenue streams including group bookings, meetings and events, corporate and social catering, leisure sales, small group sales and more. ROH’s proprietary software also allows hotels to decrease processing costs and increase margin overnight with its innovative payment solutions.

ROH’s payments and revenue management platform is designed to streamline and optimize sales, payments and finance within the hospitality sector. By providing hotel asset owners and operators with advanced technology, automation and workflow tools, in addition to compliant transaction solutions, ROH empowers operating teams to unlock productivity and profitability at every property.
