Generate more. Spend less.

Less time. Less cost. Live GP.

Start with the job that is hurting this month. Add the next module when you need it. Same picture of the week, whether you run one pub or a group. Every product is a module, billed monthly by UK direct debit. Start with one — Goods-in, heating, payroll, or another — then add the next when you need it. Plans are recurring, with room as we keep improving the suite. When the whole system is improved, your site updates with it. You are not stuck on an old install. We can also make what is not listed — how we work.

  • Every line read
  • Price-rise alert
  • Cheaper supplier
  • Sell that holds GP
  • Remittance pack
  • Coded for Xero
  • The recode, gone

    Goods-in reads the lines. You run the pub.

  • The week, submitted

    Owner pack without chasing paper

  • Empty rooms off

    Occupancy drives the heat

  • 48-hour login

Staff and the flow

The house does the work. Varlo joins it up.

Staff on service, a till that needs live GP, a manager with the week on a tablet. The mark sits between the people and the kit you already have.

Each module is a sell on its own. Start with one. The rest wait until they earn their place.

  1. 01

    Flagship · The flagship

    Invoices land. You click the questions. The month is paid. GP holds. You run the pub.

    Goods-in

    No bookkeeper retyping deliveries. No waiting on an accountant to know if the pint is making money. A rise is flagged. A cheaper supplier is flagged. The till follows.

    • The recode, gone
    • A rise, flagged
    • One remittance pack

  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

    • Day rate and fixed jobs

    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

    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.

    • A stack of texts about who did what
    • Forgotten advances

  6. A British inn reception desk with a brass key rack and occupancy diary.
    Varlo

    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.

    What comes off the week

    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.

    What comes off the week

    • Retyping hours into payroll
    • Building a group-payment file by hand
    • Wrong sort codes next month

    Example books

    • Xero
    • Sage
    • QuickBooks

  8. Something else

    We can make anything you need in hospitality — not only what is on this list. Get started or book a visit.

Looking for a particular type of venue? See pubs, hotels, restaurants, or B&Bs. Varlo is built for operators at any scale.

Savings and benefits

What the week gets back

Start with one module. The rest wait until they earn their place.

  • Thousands a month in bookkeeping and analysis you stop paying for twice.

  • The week pack submitted — not rebuilt on Sunday.

  • Empty rooms off guest heat.

  • A price rise spotted before it hits the till.

  • Hours to a bank file without a retype.

  • Delivery notes named and filed — not Scan0124.

How it goes in

Stage by stage — not a six-month programme

The enterprise suites sell a long project and a project team. We walk the house, put the first module in, and you see it running. Then it is a monthly direct debit, and the next job waits until you need it.

  1. 01

    On site or Zoom

    Walk the house

    The week as it actually runs — till, diary, paperwork, who does what. We say what to put in first.

    You getA first module, not a shopping list.

  2. 02

    A cloud login

    Set up the first module

    Goods-in is the usual start. We set it up around the house you already run.

    You getThe software in your week, not a classroom.

  3. 03

    A trial login

    See it for 48 hours

    Try it — or browse a system already running in a pub.

    You getYou see it running before a monthly debit.

  4. 04

    Recurring and modular

    Go live on monthly direct debit

    Pay monthly by UK direct debit for the modules you use. Extra modules are cheaper the more of the suite you run.

    You getOne module live. The rest wait.

  5. 05

    When you need it

    Add the next job

    Heating, paperwork, payroll, rooms, scans, contractors — the next pain, not the whole catalogue at once.

    You getThe week gets lighter, one job at a time.

That is the implement path. Not a project team, and not six months before anyone logs in.

The choice

Spreadsheets, a locked suite, or Varlo

What most houses still run

Spreadsheets and inboxes

  • The week lives in a drawer, a camera roll, and three WhatsApp threads.
  • GP is last month’s guess.
  • Empty rooms stay on heat because nobody walks the corridor.

Built for groups, priced like one

An enterprise hospitality suite

  • Reservations, EPoS, rotas, and purchase-to-pay in one locked box.
  • They match invoices. They do not put the new selling price on your till.
  • Empty rooms and the pub week still sit outside the licence.

Operators who run pubs

Varlo

  • Invoices in, lines coded, GP kept current, and the selling price through to the till.
  • Occupancy heating, the week pack, payroll, and rooms — modular, monthly.
  • We own pubs. We write for people who do the same.

We’ll set you up

See how the week runs

Plans are modular and recurring, billed monthly by UK direct debit. We can get you set up. Extra modules are discounted the more you use.

  • 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
