What to include in your guest request handoff

  • Keep the room reference in context

    Keep room reference, non-sensitive request, assigned team, promised update, completion and guest confirmation together so the next person can understand the request or record.

  • When the next step needs a decision

    A guest requests an extra pillow; housekeeping marks it dispatched but reception has no delivery confirmation. Keep dispatch and completion distinct.

  • Keep guest confirmation visible

    Record the guest-facing follow-up after the department reports its work.

  • Choose what each person needs

    Give the front desk coordinator a working view and the housekeeping lead a review view. Keep room reference and non-sensitive request attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
