The problem

Guests don't stop ordering because they're full.

They stop ordering because it's inconvenient. Flag a waiter. Wait. Hand over a credit card. Wait. Try to keep the pool-wet phone working. Wait.

By the third drink, most guests have given up. A $400/day resort guest leaves $18 of margin at the pool — because the service friction makes the ask bigger than the thirst.

"We added a Valeo unit to the main pool deck in March. F&B revenue per guest-day is up 31% through Q3 — without adding a single member of staff."

— Director of Operations, Luxury Resort Group

Anatomy of a Valeo

One unit. Everything a poolside guest needs.

A chilled drinks cabinet, a tablet kiosk, a secure valuables locker, a solar charging roof, and a cellular-connected compute stack — engineered to survive direct sun, chlorine spray, and being ignored for six months of monsoon.

Integrated 50W solar roof

Monocrystalline panel charges a LiFePO4 bank. 16 hours of runtime with zero sun; 24/7 in typical pool deployments.

10.1" sunlight-readable kiosk

1000-nit capacitive display, anti-glare coating, kiosk-locked Android. Readable even under direct midday sun.

42L insulated drinks cabinet

40-bottle capacity with 8+ hours of ice retention at 40°C ambient. Top-opening for easy restock.

Secure valuables locker

4L lockbox with one-time keypad code. Guests store phone and wallet; staff restock drinks without access.

LTE + Wi-Fi 6 + GPS

Works on the remotest beach, auto-fails over to Wi-Fi when available. GPS lets you track units across a large property.

Marine-grade IP66 housing

UV-stable polymer, resists chlorine, saltwater, and high-pressure jet cleaning. 5-year structural warranty.

What it runs

Hardware is the platform. Software is the product.

The Valeo stack handles ordering, payments, inventory, PMS billing, and fleet telemetry — all designed to drop into operations you already run.

PMS integration

Room charges flow directly to Opera, Mews, Stayntouch. Guest folio updates in seconds — no reconciliation at checkout.

Card & wallet payments

Chip, contactless, Apple/Google Pay. PCI-DSS certified reader. Walk-in guests without a room pay the same way.

Live inventory

Weight sensors in the drinks cabinet flag restock needs to your F&B team before the unit runs dry.

Upsell engine

Guest orders a beer → unit offers a curated snack pairing. Average order value up 18% in typical deployments.

Fleet dashboard

Map-view of every unit across all properties. Revenue, stock level, battery, connectivity — all in real time.

Signed OTA updates

New menu, new language, new payment rail — pushed from the cloud. No site visit, no service window.

The unit economics

Pays for itself in one summer season.

We ran 90-day A/B deployments across 12 resorts in 2025 — units placed at matched pool-deck locations against standard cabana service. The numbers held across price points, climates, and guest demographics.

Questions we get

Everything operators actually ask.

From pilot deployments and OEM requests. If yours isn't here, the demo call is the fastest way through — we answer technical questions on the call, not after.

Ask us directly →

How long does deployment take?

From contract to live: typically 6 weeks. Factory lead-time is 4 weeks, site prep (power tap for optional AC backup, Wi-Fi allowance) 1 week, on-site commissioning including PMS integration 2 days.

What happens if a guest tries to tip the unit over?

Unladen weight is 28 kg, loaded is 42 kg. The base can be through-bolted to decking or ballasted. Tilt sensor disables service and alerts fleet dashboard if movement exceeds 15°.

Does it need Wi-Fi or can it run cellular-only?

Cellular LTE is standard; Wi-Fi is used as a fallback or for lower-cost deployments. Properties in remote locations (private island resorts, e.g.) run cellular-only without issue.

Which PMS and POS systems are supported?

Out-of-the-box: Oracle Opera, Mews, Stayntouch, Cloudbeds, Toast, Square, Lightspeed. Custom PMS connectors available in 4-6 weeks for enterprise accounts.

Is there a white-label / OEM option?

Yes. Above MOQ of 250 units, the platform can be fully rebranded — housing colorway, logo, firmware UI, and operator dashboard all configurable. See the OEM program.

What's the warranty and service model?

3-year comprehensive warranty standard, extendable to 5 years. Service delivered through our partner network in 24 countries, or we train your on-property team during commissioning.

Is there a smaller version for beach clubs or cabanas?

Valeo Mini is shipping Q2 2026 — 40% smaller footprint, battery-only, IP67-rated for full beach/saltwater exposure. Join the waitlist via the demo form below.
