Point a document parser at reconciliation, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at hospitality general managers, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Reconciler for Hospitality, Run by Extraction is a document parser aimed at hospitality general managers, covering reconciliation. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by open field (42). Typical pricing is $11k–$165k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $4.5k–$12k.
Hospitality teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. A typical hospitality operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes reconciliation. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
