Introducing Cash Insights For Hospitality

Cash flow is king. This is a mantra echoed by business owners, particularly in the hospitality sector, and for good reason—it holds true. Without a clear grasp of your cash flow, you’re flying blind. 

Knowing your precise cash flow is essential for making smart business decisions and keeping your business healthy. 

Yet, monitoring cash (in spreadsheets) can be one of the biggest headaches to running a business. Especially when you’re juggling a million other daily tasks. Like staff, stock, and customer satisfaction. It’s a lot!

That’s why we’re super excited to introduce Cash Insights, the latest innovation in your Outmin dashboard, giving you an easy-to-read daily snapshot of your financial position. 

Cumbersome spreadsheets? Gone! 

Delayed updates from your accountant? Ain't waiting.

Cash Insights is here to change the game, giving you fresh, actionable insights at your fingertips.

What is Cash Insights?

Cash Insights is our new beta feature that consolidates data from your automatic bank accounts into a powerful, easy-to-access view in your Outmin dashboard. It's like having a bird’s eye view of your money, helping you make better choices for your business.

With Cash Insights, you get daily updates, dynamic reports, and the ability to drill down into the details, all in one place.

So, here’s what you can expect:

• Money In: See where your revenue is coming from. Whether it’s customer payments or other income streams, you can easily compare categories and dive deeper into specific transactions to see what’s behind the numbers.

• Money Out: Track every category where money is being spent. Identify which areas are eating into your budget and get a clearer picture of your spending patterns. Click deeper into a category to see exactly where the money’s going.

• Total Movement: Get an instant overview of the difference between your money in and money out. It’s the quickest way to understand where you stand financially at any given moment.

• Drill Down into Details: Cash Insights starts with two main buttons: Money In and Money Out. Click on either to see a list of categories showing where your money is coming from or going. Easily compare categories, and by clicking through, view the details of each one. Then quickly pinpoint payments and analyse spending. You can also select any date range for review.

• Data Visualisation: Spot patterns and trends using easy-to-understand charts. No more poring over spreadsheets with complex formulas — quickly check where money is coming in, where it's going out, and how flows change over time.

• Nightly Updates: With Cash Insights, your financial data is always up-to-date. The report is refreshed every night, pulling the latest information from your automatic bank feeds. This means you'll wake up every morning to a clear snapshot of your cash flow, giving you the confidence to make informed decisions with fresh financial data.

• Notifications for Disconnected Bank Accounts: If one of your bank accounts disconnects, we’ll send you a quick notification to alert you. You’ll still be able to access reports based on the last available sync, and this way, you’ll always have accurate data with minimal disruption.

• Transparency of Data Sources: To build trust and make sure you know where the numbers come from, we list all the accounts feeding into your Cash Insights report. This gives you a clear view of the sources, so you can easily check what’s included and confirm everything is accurate.

How Cash Insights Works

Cash Insights leverages data from customers' Outmin accounts. We pull a bank feed nightly for automatic accounts (via 3rd party Plaid integration).

Our AI models analyse and categorise this feed to provide a detailed breakdown of your money in and out for any given period. A human in the loop reviews the data to ensure everything is accurate and up-to-date, giving you the most reliable information!

The data is compiled into a user-friendly, dynamic report that lets you visualise and analyse your cash flow at all times.

Who Is It For?

Cash Insights is available to all Outmin hospitality customers at no extra cost. There’s no need to sign up or install anything new — simply log in to your Outmin dashboard, and you’ll find this exciting feature ready to use.

If you prefer managing your finances on the go, don’t worry. We’re rolling out Cash Insights for mobile in the upcoming weeks. You’ll soon be able to track your cash flow, review transactions, and access visual insights right from your phone.

Cash Insights is currently in beta, which means two things if you’re our customer:

• You're among the first to experience this game-changing feature
• Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us

We built Cash Insights for you, and we want to make sure it's meeting your needs. So, to our hospitality customers: we'd love to hear your thoughts. What's working well? What could be improved? Your input will directly shape the future of Cash Insights and help us create even more powerful tools for hospitality owners like you.

Built for You — The Business Owner, Not the Accountant

At Outmin, we've always prided ourselves on handling the nuts and bolts of accounting for you. Bookkeeping, payroll, taxes – we've got it all covered. But we knew we could do more. We wanted to create something that spoke directly to you, the business owner.

"Cash flow is something we hear about from business owners all the time. It's one of the biggest concerns they have, and rightfully so," says David Kelleher, Outmin’s co-founder. "We do all the normal accounting stuff, but Cash Insights is something special – it's born directly from conversations with our customers. It's the first step in providing the kind of data and insights that really empower business owners, not just accountants”.

This is our main mission at Outmin: building tools for you – the restaurant owner, the hospitality operator, the entrepreneur. We’re not an accounting firm looking for ways to make things easier for accountants. Instead, our roadmap is built around solving the pain points we hear from you – our customers – and cash flow visibility has always been at the top of that list.

Why Cash Insights Matters

Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business, but especially in Hospitality. Tight margins mean that every decision you make — from ordering inventory to rostering staff — hinges on having confidence in your cash position. 

Too often, business owners are left dependent on outdated spreadsheets, confusing reports, or delays from their accountants. That’s where Cash Insights comes in.

We built Cash Insights because we understand that you don’t just need data – you need real-time, actionable insights that help you manage your money more effectively. By pulling all your financial data into one clean, visual dashboard, Cash Insights makes it easier to track cash flow, spot trends, and address potential issues before they snowball into bigger problems.

David explains the vision behind Cash Insights:

"Cash Insights is just the beginning. It's the first glimpse into the kind of data and insights that will shape our future. We're building a roadmap based on what business owners actually need. This is about giving you more visibility, more control, and ultimately, more power to grow your business."

The Road Ahead

We’re excited about what Cash Insights can do for your business, but this is only the beginning. At Outmin, our goal is to build the tools you need to succeed in all aspects of your financial management.

Whether it’s offloading the burden of accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll or giving you more control over your cash flow, we’re here to take the headache out of managing your finances, so you can focus on what you do best: growing your business and delighting your customers.

So, log in and explore Cash Insights. And let us know what you think.
