What to include in your room readiness handoffs

  • Keep the Room reference in context

    Keep Room reference, arrival context, guest request, assigned department, work recorded, housekeeping check and front desk verification together so the next person can understand the request or record.

  • When the next step needs a decision

    A sample arriving guest is assigned room 204, where a desk light needs attention. Maintenance records the light repair while housekeeping has not checked the room.

  • Keep front desk verification visible

    Leave room readiness pending while another department still needs to check the result.

  • Choose what each person needs

    Give the front desk coordinator a working view and the housekeeping lead a review view. Keep Room reference and arrival context attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
