Backups

Backed up every night, encrypted with your key

Claviq backs up the whole hotel at 03:00 and checks every backup. Only your hotel's backup key can open them, so a copy that goes missing is useless to anyone else.

How it works

Up and running in an afternoon

No server to rent and no IT company needed. One computer holds the hotel's data; the others connect to it.

  1. 1

    Install on your main computer

    Usually the front desk PC. Name your hotel, create your admin account and save your keys. It takes about five minutes.

  2. 2

    Connect your other computers

    Turn on LAN mode and the restaurant, bar or back-office computers find the main one by themselves. Approve each one with a 6-digit code.

  3. 3

    Add rooms, menu and staff

    Set up room types, your menu and printers, and give each staff member their own login. Then start taking bookings.

One main computer

Keeps the database and does the nightly backup. Claviq keeps it awake while others are connected.

Any number of desks

Restaurant, bar and back office connect over your Wi-Fi or cable. They find the main computer automatically.

Internet optional

Everything runs inside your hotel's own network, so an internet outage doesn't stop check-ins.

Your data

Private by design, safe from the start

Guest names, phone numbers and ID photos stay inside your hotel. Claviq doesn't collect them, and the app works without an account with us.

Read the privacy notes
  • Your data lives on your computer, not in someone else's cloud
  • Each install creates its own passwords and keys
  • Other computers must be approved before they can connect
  • Backups are encrypted with your hotel's own key
  • Forgot the admin password? Reset it with your recovery key

Pricing

Free means free

No trial, no card, no time limit. Pay only if you grow beyond it.

FAQ

Questions hotels ask

Is Claviq Hotel really free?+

Yes. Every feature is included, for any number of rooms and staff, on your main computer plus up to 5 other computers. Free receipts carry a small "Powered by Claviq Hotel" line. A Pro plan for larger hotels (unlimited computers, no footer, support) is coming.

Do I need internet?+

Only to download the app. Claviq runs on your own computer, and the other computers in the hotel connect to it over your local network, so the front desk keeps working when the internet is down.

Where is my data stored?+

On your main computer, in Claviq's own database. It isn't sent to us. Each install has its own passwords and keys, and backups are encrypted with your hotel's backup key.

Can several computers use it at once?+

Yes. Install Claviq on one main computer, turn on LAN mode, and the other computers connect over the hotel network. Each new computer must be approved on the main one, so a guest on your Wi-Fi can't get in.

What happens if my computer breaks?+

Claviq makes an encrypted backup every night and keeps one for each of the last 7 days, 4 weeks and 12 months. Keep the backup key you printed at setup somewhere safe. Copying backups to a USB drive or OneDrive folder, and restoring them on a new computer, are coming in the next update.

Which printers work?+

Standard ESC/POS thermal receipt printers (58 mm and 80 mm, USB or network), which covers most receipt printers sold for shops and restaurants, the cash drawers plugged into them, and any normal printer for A4 invoices. No extra printing software is needed.

Does it print Sinhala and Tamil?+

Yes. Receipts and kitchen tickets can include Sinhala and Tamil text, printed correctly on thermal printers.

Windows or my Mac says the app is from an unknown developer.+

Early versions aren't signed with Microsoft or Apple yet. On Windows choose More info → Run anyway. On a Mac, open the app once, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway. The download page shows each step.

Can I move to the cloud later?+

Yes. Claviq also runs as a hosted cloud edition for hotels that want access from anywhere. Your data can be moved across. Contact us to talk about it.
