Housekeeping & Maintenance: Rooms ready when the desk sells them

The housekeeping board and the front desk read the same room status. Each hotel day the app writes the cleaning tasks itself, from the checkouts, the guests in house and today's arrivals, and shares them out over your attendants. Attendants work from their phone: start the room, tick the checklist, take the photo, finish, and the room turns clean. A maintenance ticket takes a room off sale while the repair is open. It runs on the free Hotel Foundation; Hotel Management is optional.

Housekeeping & Maintenance in the Hotel Suite: Rooms ready when the desk sells them
01

The Day's Cleaning Builds Itself

When the hotel day rolls over, the app writes a departure clean for every checkout, a stayover for every room in house, a deep clean every few nights and a High arrival prep for a dirty room a guest arrives in today. A second run adds nothing twice. Tasks are shared out on open workload, and each one carries its checklist, with photo steps where you want proof.

The Attendant's Phone

Attendants sign in on any phone and see today's rooms, priority rooms first. They start a room, tick the checklist, take the photo a step asks for and finish, and the room turns clean at the desk. A room they cannot enter is marked do not disturb in one tap. A problem goes to maintenance and a found item to lost and found, straight from the room.

Maintenance That Takes the Room off Sale

A maintenance ticket names its room, and an attendant can raise one from the room with the note and the photos. One click puts the room out of order for the repair through a room block, so it leaves sellable inventory; releasing it brings the room back dirty, with a clean on today's board. Rooms Out of Order shows the room nights each repair cost, and Room Faults how long each ticket has been open.

Lost and Found, and Linen Against Par

Every found item is logged with its room, the stay, who found it and where it is kept, and follows its trail: stored, claimed, returned, donated or disposed. Linen counts are set against the par level for every room of the hotel, so the shortfall on each item shows on every count, and week by week in a graph or a pivot.

    • Auto-assign with a previewThe board shows who would get each unassigned room before anything is assigned.
    • Inspection by a supervisorA finished clean turns the room clean; only a supervisor turns it inspected, never the attendant who cleaned it.
  • Tasks and attendants

    • Tasks written each hotel dayA departure clean for every checkout, a stayover for every room in house and a High arrival prep for a dirty room with a guest due.
    • A deep clean on your intervalEvery N nights a stayover becomes a deep clean, N set on the property.
    • Never written twiceRunning the day again adds nothing, and a turnover room gets one departure clean, not a second arrival prep.
    • Follows the deskA checkout opens the departure clean, a check-in closes the arrival prep, a cancellation or no-show drops the stay's tasks.
    • Shared out on workloadNew tasks go to the attendant with the fewest open rooms; supervisors are kept out of the pool.
    • Moved by a supervisorOnly a supervisor moves an open task to another attendant; a finished one keeps who cleaned it.
    • Checklists per task typeDeparture clean, stayover, arrival prep, deep clean, turndown and custom, each with its own steps.
    • Photo stepsA step marked photo required is not ticked, and the task not finished, without its photo.
    • A departure waits for the checkoutA departure clean cannot be finished while the guest is still checked in.
    • Closed for the attendantA supervisor closes a room the attendant cleaned but never pressed, with the time marked as an estimate.
    • Guest requests as tasksWith Hotel Management, a housekeeping request is a task on the board and the phone, done from there.
    • Long stays on their own cadenceWith Hotel Long Stay, a long stay is serviced on the cadence set for it instead of daily.
  • The attendant's phone

  • Room checks and minibar (switches in Settings)

    • Room checksOccupied, vacant, slept out or do not disturb, recorded from the phone or the board.
    • Sleep and skipA room the desk has empty but is lived in, or the reverse, opens a discrepancy for the desk; nothing is checked out by itself.
    • Guests countedWhere the hotel asks, a guest count that differs from the booking is a discrepancy too.
    • Minibar articles and parList what a full minibar holds; the attendant counts what is left on a stayover or departure clean.
    • On the guest's billWith Hotel Management what was taken goes on the bill once; a closed bill leaves a to-do for the desk.
    • No double chargeWith Hotel PBX, TV & Minibar Integration charging the minibars, the count here is refused.
