These gaps are enhancements for multi-hotel scale. Single pilot hotel does not require these. Phase 1 (1-hotel) is production-ready without them.

For Hotel IT Officers: This document is your reference for decision-making, budgeting, and implementation planning. All Phase 1 features are tested and production-ready. Phase 2 & 3 features are designed for future scale-ups to 10+ and 50+ hotels.
