Housekeeping

  • Our Modern Rooming Calendar is here!

    Hooray! Our new responsive calendar is here!

    The Classic Rooming Calendar is being phased out soon. Tutorials will be replaced with our new, responsive Modern Rooming Calendar, already available in ver 7.30. For more information on the Modern Calendar visit our web page or contact our support team and we will give you a grand tour!

    N.B The Classic Rooming calendar will be deprecated by January 2021.

Housekeeping

Good housekeeping goes a long way to ensuring your guests’ comfort which is an important part of your business. Making sure that the guest’s room has been well laundered and personalising their stay with welcome notes, pillow chocolates or perhaps that bottle of champers is an important role your housekeeping team play.

With ResRequest’s reports your housekeeping team can prepare the guest’s room for their arrival, stayover and departure.

What do housekeepers need to know?

  • What rooms need to be cleaned and laundered.
  • What times the rooms should be cleaned.
  • How should the room be configured, e.g. double or single beds.
  • Any special room requests.
  • Personalising the guest’s room, e.g. for a return guest.

Here are some great ideas for how your housekeepers can ensure a lovely experience for your guests.

The Rooming Calendar

Open the Legend on the Rooming Calendar to understand how to use the calendar for housekeeping information. The legend gives an explanation of the colours and formatting of the information such as early, late or scheduled departures, checked in guests, late checkouts or guests arriving from a property.

Arrivals and Departure report

This report can help the housekeeping team to prepare all rooms for different arrival and departure times. Adding that special touch, like fresh flowers in the room or a departure gift, could make a great first impression of your lodge. This report can be used for a range of useful information:

  • Guest arrival times so the rooms can be prepared before arrival.
  • Guest departure times so the rooms are not disturbed before a guest leaves. This will also help the laundry service logistics.
  • Room configurations, e.g. double / single beds.
  • Staff planning as room occupancies will indicate how many staff are needed on different days.

Navigate to this report via Property > Reports > Arrivals and Departures. Open as a PDF, email to the relevant staff or export the results and further manipulate the information as required.

Operations Chart

The Ops Chart can be used for several functions at the property. Similarly to the Arrivals and Departures report, it can be used by the housekeeping team for a number of things including:

  • Room configurations, e.g. double / single beds.
  • Guest arrival times so the rooms can be prepared before arrival.
  • Guest departure times so the rooms can be cleaning after departure.

Travel Extras can be added so the appropriate reception is given to different guest, e.g. guests arriving on long haul flights may need a meal upon arrival whereas guests arriving from one of your other properties may just need a hot cloth.
