title: "How to check hotel minibars with computer vision"
description: "When the room is empty after check-out, the attendant takes one photo of the open minibar and one of the amenity tray with a phone. A model trained on the hotel own images compares each photo with the standard setup for that room type, marks items that are missing, moved or opened, and lists what needs restocking. Results go to the room record so the restock cart can be loaded once per floor, and any items that look used can be checked against the stay before a charge is posted. Take photos only of the minibar and tray, never of guests or their belongings. The housekeeping or front desk lead reviews the list and decides what to restock and whether to post or waive a charge. The model does not replace the front desk process or guest service, and people make every billing call."

# How can a hotel use computer vision to speed up minibar and in-room amenity checks?
When the room is empty after check-out, the attendant takes one photo of the open minibar and one of the amenity tray with a phone. A model trained on the hotel own images compares each photo with the standard setup for that room type, marks items that are missing, moved or opened, and lists what needs restocking. Results go to the room record so the restock cart can be loaded once per floor, and any items that look used can be checked against the stay before a charge is posted. Take photos only of the minibar and tray, never of guests or their belongings. The housekeeping or front desk lead reviews the list and decides what to restock and whether to post or waive a charge. The model does not replace the front desk process or guest service, and people make every billing call.
## What this means in practice
- Start with one floor or one room type.
- Photograph the standard setup and label photos against it.
- Take photos only in empty rooms and only of the minibar and tray.
- Send restock lists to the cart before each floor.
- Have a person review any item before a charge is posted.
