Hotel software from Twinlite
The building.
The guest.
The shift.
Everything already knows.
Your property system holds the rooms and the stays. Your team is who does the
work. All three products read from both, so nobody re-types what the hotel already knows and
nothing goes stale in a second copy.

Reads Mews
Halo
The building
Knows which rooms are in use, and does something about it.
Looks after
- Housekeeping rooms add themselves to the list, and take themselves off
- Room readiness the front desk sees clean and ready without asking
- Heating and cooling empty rooms rest, arriving guests walk into comfort
- Rooms needing attention the right person hears about it before a guest does
Reads Mews + your team
Lark
The guest
The tablet by the bed that replaced the in-room phone.
Looks after
- Requests towels, late checkout or do not disturb, straight to the team
- The bill live, in the room, and checkout without the queue
- The front desk one button rings reception, like a phone should
- The welcome the hotel, the city and the menu, in four languages
Reads your team
Clocky
The shift
Hours captured as they happen, on their own phone.
Looks after
- The rota planned against actual, on one screen
- Hours worked checked at the moment they start, not at month end
- The manager’s review exceptions only, never a blocked worker
- Payroll a download on Monday morning
Every line here is live. Nothing waits for a nightly file and
nothing gets typed in twice. Lark sits under both because that is where the guest and the team meet.
Three products, one hotel.
Anyone can sell you three apps. What matters is what happens where they touch,
and here they touch in three places that save your team a job each.
One housekeeping list.
When a guest leaves, Halo puts the clean on the list. When a guest asks for the room to be made
up, Lark puts it on the same list. Your housekeeper works from one list, in one app, and never has
to be told which system it came from.
Nobody types it twice.
Mews stays the single record of the room and the stay. Halo reads it to know who is arriving;
Lark reads it to show the guest their bill and writes back what the guest asks for. There is no
second copy sitting somewhere, quietly going out of date.
One set of devices.
The tablets in the rooms and the phones in your team’s pockets are set up the same way,
from the same place. Opening a new floor, or starting someone new, is a few minutes of admin.
Not an afternoon with a box of cables.
How it actually works.
The easiest way to explain any of this is to walk through an ordinary day.
Here is what happens, and what nobody has to do about it.
Halo
Looks after the building.
A hotel spends money on rooms nobody is in and time on rooms nobody has
checked. Halo knows which rooms are occupied and which are not, and quietly acts on it: putting
cleans on the list, getting rooms ready for the people arriving, and letting the air rest in the
ones that are empty.
- A guest checks out and leaves.
- The room works out that it is empty, waits long enough to be certain, and adds itself to the
housekeeping list. Nobody walks the corridor knocking on doors.
- The housekeeper finishes and moves on.
- The room notices that too, and marks itself ready. The front desk can sell it without anyone
radioing upstairs to confirm.
- A room sits empty all afternoon.
- It stops heating and cooling itself. Before the next guest arrives it warms back up, so they
walk into a comfortable room instead of a cold one that is only just starting.
- Something is off in a room.
- Stuffy air, too warm, too humid, or a room that has simply gone quiet. The right
person is told while it is still a small thing, rather than after a guest complains.
Lark
Looks after the guest.
The in-room phone costs money every month and gives the guest one thing to do
with it: ring the desk and ask a question the desk cannot always answer. Lark is the tablet that
replaces it. The hotel, the bill, the requests and reception, all in the guest’s own
language.
- A guest wants more towels at eleven at night.
- Two taps by the bed. It lands on the team’s list straight away, and the guest can see
it has been received, so nobody rings down to check whether anyone heard.
- A guest does not want to be disturbed.
- One switch in the room. Housekeeping sees it, the room record knows it, and the guest still
gets the call if the front desk genuinely needs them.
- A guest wonders what they have spent.
- The bill is right there, up to date, without a phone call. If it all looks right they can
check out from the room and walk straight past the queue in the morning.
- A guest does not speak English.
- The whole thing switches language in one tap, and so does everything they send to your
team. The request still arrives in a form your team can act on.
Clocky
Looks after the shift.
Hours are the biggest controllable cost in a hotel and usually the least
visible until payroll. Clocky captures them at the moment they happen, on the phone your team
already carries, and turns the end of the week into a download instead of an evening of chasing
paper.
- Someone starts their shift.
- They open the app, it takes a photo, and they are on. It quietly satisfies itself that they
are where they should be, and tells them “clocked in”. That is the whole
interaction.
- Something does not add up.
- Nobody gets stopped. The shift starts as normal and the manager gets it in a review queue,
with the time and a photo attached, to approve or correct later.
- Friday comes around.
- Payroll is a file you download, for whatever dates you want, built from what actually
happened rather than from what somebody wrote down afterwards.
- You want to know whether the rota held.
- Planned against actual is one screen, because the rota and the clock are the same record.
You can see where the hours went before the month closes, not after.
What stops happening.
We are not going to quote you a savings figure we cannot yet stand behind.
What we can name exactly is the work that disappears, and where it used to sit.
The in-room phone.
Lark is the phone. No handset in every room, no line to rent for each one, and nothing in a cupboard to maintain.
The morning housekeeping list.
Rooms put themselves on the list when the guest leaves and take themselves off when they are clean. Nobody builds the list, and nobody walks the floor to check it.
Heating an empty room.
Rooms nobody is in stop working. Rooms with someone arriving start early, so comfort on arrival costs you the hour before, not the whole afternoon.
Ringing down to ask about the bill.
It is in the room, live, and checkout is two taps. Your front desk keeps the conversations that are actually worth having.
The paper timesheet.
Hours are captured as they happen. The manager reviews the handful that need a look, instead of transcribing all of them.
Typing the same thing twice.
One record of the room and the stay. Everything else reads from it, and writes back to it, so there is never a second version to reconcile.
Why we built it ourselves.
We run hotels, so we buy hotel software. And we kept finding the same gap
between what was on the market and what the building actually needed. So we started building the
difference, and we have not stopped looking for the next piece of it.
We use it before we sell it.
Every one of these runs in our own building first. If it makes a shift harder rather than easier, we find out ourselves, on a Tuesday, before anyone else has to live with it.
It has to work when things do not.
Connections drop and services have bad days. When that happens the guest should still get their towels and the shift should still start on time. Nothing waits on a perfect network.
The technology should be invisible.
A guest should see a tablet that does what they expect. A housekeeper should see a list. Nobody on the floor should have to know or care what sits behind it.
Every hotel is different. None of them are special.
What changes between properties is a setting, not a rebuild. The second hotel takes an afternoon to configure, which is the whole point of building it this way.
Automate only what you would otherwise ask someone to do.
We are not interested in clever for its own sake. Each of these exists because it removes a specific job somebody was doing by hand, and we can name the job.
Built around Mews.
Your property system should stay the single source of truth for rooms and stays. We read from it and write back to it rather than asking you to keep a second set of books.
