How Housekeeping Is Tracked

Housekeeping is managed through room statuses and activity logs. There is no separate housekeeping screen — everything is done directly on each room.

Typical Flow After a Guest Checks Out

  1. Guest checks out → room status automatically set to Cleaning
  2. Housekeeping staff clean the room
  3. Staff open the room from Inventory → Rooms
  4. Click Change Room Status → select Ready
  5. Room is now available for the next guest

Logging a Housekeeping Activity

  1. Open the room from Inventory → Rooms
  2. Click Change Room Status
  3. Select the appropriate action:
Action When to use
Cleaned Room has been cleaned
Inspected Room has been checked for quality
Prepared Room is set up for the next guest (towels, welcome items, etc.)
Maintenance A maintenance issue has been addressed
Ready Room is fully prepared and available
  1. Add notes if needed (e.g., "light bulb replaced", "deep clean done")
  2. Save

Every action is logged with a timestamp automatically.

Viewing the Log

Open a room from Inventory → Rooms to see its full history of status changes — who changed what and when. Useful for audits and accountability.

Room Statuses at a Glance

Go to Inventory → Rooms and use the status filter to quickly see:

  • Which rooms are Cleaning (need attention)
  • Which rooms are Ready (available for new guests)
  • Which rooms are in Maintenance (blocked from booking)

Common Questions

Who can update room statuses? Any admin or manager with access to that location.

Can I assign housekeeping tasks to specific staff? Task assignment is not currently a feature. Use the notes field in the status change to record who did the work.

Is there a way to be notified when a room needs cleaning? Not via push notification. The Cleaning status is visible immediately in Inventory → Rooms — check this list after each check-out.
