Modular, not a locked box

Each module does one job. Together they feed the week.

You do not have to buy the lot. Start with the job that is hurting. When the next one earns its place, it plugs into what is already running — the invoice to the till, the diary to the heat, the day to the owner.

We are not here to list other people’s software. A locked hospitality suite is one shape of week, priced like a group project. Varlo is modular: use one piece, add the next, and we engineer the connectors around the kit you already have.

  1. Invoicing

    Starts here

    The invoice

    Through Varlo

    Every line read

    Lands here

    GP, the till, and the books

    A rise on the delivery becomes the selling price that holds margin. The same coded lines go to Xero or the bookkeeper. Nothing waits in a pile of PDFs.

    Also feeds Daily paperwork · Scan filing

    See invoicing

  2. Hotel heating

    Starts here

    The diary you already run

    Through Varlo

    Who is in, arriving, vacant

    Lands here

    The room thermostat

    We engineer a connector from whatever PMS you use. Occupied rooms heat. Empty rooms go to frost. Breakfast follows the house.

    Also feeds Rooms & housekeeping

  3. Daily paperwork

    Starts here

    Till close

    Through Varlo

    Cash and cards on the day

    Lands here

    The owner pack and accounts

    The week is built on site, not rewritten on Sunday. The same numbers are ready for the books.

    Also feeds Invoicing · Staff payroll

    See daily paperwork

  4. Staff payroll

    Starts here

    Hours on the floor

    Through Varlo

    Match and review

    Lands here

    Xero, then a bank file

    Timesheets you already have. Approve the run. Paying the team is a send, not a dozen transfers.

    Also feeds Daily paperwork

    See staff payroll

  5. Rooms

    Starts here

    The desk

    Through Varlo

    The bed card

    Lands here

    The room and the fault log

    Whoever is making the rooms sees the setup. A drip is a photo that stays on the log — not a corridor conversation.

    Also feeds Hotel heating

    See rooms

  6. Scan filing

    Starts here

    Phone or printer

    Through Varlo

    Named, not Scan0124

    Lands here

    The cloud folder you already open

    Staff scan as usual. The file gets a name you can find next month. It lands in Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or whatever store you already open. Invoicing can read from the same folder.

    Also feeds Invoicing

    See scan filing

  7. Contractors

    Starts here

    The trade on site

    Through Varlo

    The job, with a photo

    Lands here

    Owed versus paid

    Who did what, what you have paid, what is still open. No Saturday reconstruction.

How one feeds the next

The week, joined up

This is the picture we walk when we come to the house. Not every operator needs every box. The ones you run should talk to each other.

  1. 01

    Deliveries in

    Invoices are read. GP stays current. The till gets the price that holds margin.

  2. 02

    Service

    The floor is on the till. Rooms follow the diary. Heat follows occupancy.

  3. 03

    Close

    Cash and cards go in on the day. Hours are the hours that were worked.

  4. 04

    The owner

    The week pack, the pay file, and the books see the same numbers.

The catalogue

Seven modules. Start with one.

Pay for the job you need. Extra modules are cheaper the more of the suite you run. We can also make what is not listed.

  1. 01

    Flagship · The flagship suite

    Know your prices. Keep GP current. Stay profitable — without becoming a bookkeeper.

    Invoice, cost control & accounts export

    It saves thousands of pounds a month in bookkeeping and analysis. It gives you the answers so you can be confident — and profitable.

    • Thousands a month
    • Prices to the till
    • Invoices read for you

  2. 02

    Ops & compliance

    The manager fills the day. The week goes to the owner. The books are already waiting.

    Daily paperwork system

    It makes the week simple: no rewriting the pack, no chasing paper, and the numbers are already in shape for accounts.

    • No Sunday rewrite
    • Week to the owner
    • Same numbers into accounts

  3. 03

    Energy & rooms

    Empty rooms should not be on full heat. That bill is colossal.

    Hotel room heating by occupancy

    Empty rooms on full heat are one of the largest bills a hotel or inn can cut. Occupancy-led heating is a save-money product first — the time it saves reception is the bonus.

    • Empty rooms off
    • Frost on checkout
    • Breakfast follows the house

  4. 04

    Filing & admin

    Stop renaming Scan0124 and hunting for Tuesday’s delivery note.

    Scan filing

    Stops the hour lost every week renaming ‘Scan0124’ and hunting for last Tuesday’s delivery note.

    • An hour back each week
    • Named and filed
    • Your cloud store
    See this product →
  5. 05

    Works & pay

    Saturday’s pay run is a list — not a reconstruction.

    Contractors & contracts

    Stops overpaying, underpaying, and the Saturday morning reconstruction of who did what.

    • Saturday is a list
    • Owed versus paid
    • Day rate and fixed jobs
    See this product →
  6. 06

    Rooms & maintenance

    Wrong beds and forgotten drips cost more than a photo on the day.

    Rooms & housekeeping

    Fewer wrong beds, fewer ‘someone will mention it’ repairs, and a photo trail instead of a corridor conversation that gets forgotten.

    • The bed setup on the card
    • A photo on the job
    • Management has the log
    See this product →
  7. 07

    People & pay

    The payroll afternoon becomes a check-and-send.

    Staff payroll

    The monthly payroll afternoon becomes a check-and-send. That is a huge time saver — and fewer wrong payments.

    • Check and send
    • Hours in once
    • Into Xero

The best start

We will come to the pub.

Some people prefer to click around a 48-hour login themselves. That is fine. If you want the consultation, we are happy to meet you in the house — pub, restaurant, inn, hotel — walk how you work, and recommend the software and connectors that make the week lighter.

You can use the software yourself — some people prefer that. The better start, if you want it, is that we come to your pub or restaurant. We walk how you work, recommend what will make the house more efficient, then we work out the modules and connectors that do it — and we talk about what it costs.

We’ll set you up

Walk the house, or try a login

We recommend on site. Or we send a 48-hour cloud login. Either way we talk before a monthly debit starts.

  • We come to the pub or restaurant if you want the consultation
  • Or a 48-hour cloud login if you prefer to click first
  • Start with one module — invoicing is the usual start
  • Monthly UK direct debit. Extra modules are cheaper the more you use
