Why is it said that hotel finances are not good?

1. The hotel’s financial accounting is relatively simple

Generally, the main business of hotels is guest rooms and catering services. These two incomes are on a cash basis. I provide services, and you Pay in cash (of course there are also big customers signing orders, very few, which does not affect the accounting method), and the goods are paid in full.
