Suggestion for Time Allocation in Space Category Settings
In housekeeping operations, efficiency and planning are key. Currently, housekeepers rely on a “fixed” amount of time per space, depending on the category, features, and other variables. To streamline this process, it would be highly beneficial to introduce a dedicated field within the Space Category settings for allocating the average time required to clean each space type.
Example Time Allocations:
Standard Room: 20 minutes
Junior Suite: 45 minutes
Shared Dormitory with 6 Beds: 1 hour
Benefits of This Feature:
Enhanced Planning: Housekeeping managers can better allocate staff and resources, ensuring optimal coverage during busy periods and more balanced workloads.
Performance Monitoring: By linking this feature to the Activity Report, managers could track how individual housekeepers perform against the expected cleaning times for each space category. This insight can help identify high performers or staff members who may need additional training or reassignment.
Operational Transparency: Provides a clear framework for staffing and scheduling, making it easier to justify resource allocation and plan for peak periods or unexpected demand.
Improved Reporting: A direct integration with existing reporting tools, such as the Activity Report, could enable real-time tracking and historical analysis of cleaning efficiency across all space categories.
This feature would be an excellent enhancement for overall housekeeping operations, driving better decision-making and operational efficiency while maintaining service standards.
