Checklists and inspections for hotels

Organise checks of rooms, public areas and back-of-house. Staff scan a QR code or NFC tag at the room or zone and complete the checklist on a phone.

The manager sees completed checks and reported defects without collecting notes at reception.

Step 1. Room inspection before guest check-in — you see the need for a hotel room check

Housekeeping checks without paper lists

Daily checks of rooms, bathrooms and public areas usually go onto printouts that end up in a binder.

Reported defects travel through a separate channel and are easily lost.

Varilo joins the checklist and the defect report in one place.

A QR code or NFC tag at the room or zone

Place the tag in a room, a plant room, by the pool or in the kitchen area.

Staff scan it and complete the right checklist without creating an account.

From checklist to report in a few simple steps

This is how an inspection runs in a hotel.

  1. 1

    Create the room or zone checklist

    Prepare points for housekeeping, public areas or a technical round.

  2. 2

    Tag the location

    Place a QR code or NFC tag in the room or space being checked.

  3. 3

    Staff run the check

    A scan opens the checklist and a defect can be documented with a photo straight away.

  4. 4

    Analyse the results

    Results, defects and room history stay available to the property manager.

Property results in one place

Reports and statistics show how checks run across the property:

  • number of checks in a chosen period,
  • rooms and zones with recurring defects,
  • history of a specific room,
  • photos attached to reports,
  • time and outcome of each check.

Start with one floor

Tag the rooms on a single floor and review the report after the first day of checks.
