Managing a hotel alongside restaurants, bars, and event venues often requires operators to navigate disparate management systems. To eliminate these operational silos, hospitality management system Cloudbeds has announced a strategic integration partnership with Australian technology provider Oolio.
The collaboration directly links Cloudbed’s property management platform with Oolio’s point-of-sale (POS) ecosystem including Bepoz, Swiftpos, and Idealpos. By connecting room management with food and beverage platforms, the integration enables hoteliers to unify guest billing, eliminate manual cross-system data entry, and accurately track on-property spend across complex operations.
Unifying Accommodation and Food & Beverage Workflows
Modern hospitality properties are increasingly multi-faceted, combining guest accommodations with dining, nightlife, and recreational outlets. However, disconnected technology stacks frequently create operational friction and billing discrepancies during peak service periods.
Through a direct API integration, Cloudbeds and Oolio allow hospitality staff to post food and beverage charges directly to a guest’s room folio in real time. The system validates guest and room credentials directly at the POS terminal, reducing administrative errors and accelerating nightly reconciliation for finance teams.
With Oolio powering over 22,000 venues across Australia, this strategic alignment offers independent hotels, resorts, pub groups, and multi-venue operators a scalable infrastructure to streamline operations.
Key Integration Capabilities
- Real-Time Folio Posting: Enables instant transfer of food, beverage, and venue charges directly to guest room accounts.
- Automated Identity Verification: Verifies room numbers and guest details at the POS to prevent billing mismatches.
- Reduced Operational Overhead: Eliminates manual transaction re-entry between POS and PMS platforms, minimizing human error.
- Multi-Property Support: Connects Cloudbeds with Bepoz, Swiftpos, and Idealpos across boutique hotels, resorts, and pub portfolios.
Executive Insights
“Hospitality businesses are becoming increasingly diverse, with accommodation, restaurants, bars and other venues all contributing to the guest experience and the economics of the property. Our partnership with Oolio connects more of those operations behind the scenes, while expanding the technology available to Cloudbeds customers across Australia. It’s about giving operators greater flexibility to run complex hospitality businesses without creating more complexity for their teams.”

“Hotels and resorts need their technology to work together just as closely as their teams do. By connecting Oolio directly with Cloudbeds, we’re helping operators remove manual steps between accommodation and food and beverage, while making it easier to manage the guest experience across the entire property.”
