Dedicated app for housekeeping (similar install as the Kiosk)
We have about 9 hotels and I have to install A LOT of tablets for housekeeping. It takes ages to install and configure this. Since you have to configure the Android tablet from start, with Google accounts etc.
While the only thing they need is the Housekeeping app.
It would be time saving if you could install the housekeeping app on a new tablet just like you install the Kiosk. (boot the new tablet, scan a qr code and it's installed. Easy as one, two, three)
This way the tablet is locked and you can only use the housekeeping app. An extra advantage is that they keep the focus and do what matters most. ;)

Hi Tomas,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We allow for a little more flexibility so that the housekeeping app can be used on devices that are dedicated to housekeeping teams as well as devices that are not dedicated to teams.
For cases where you have a single device dedicated to housekeeping we suggest making use of the native functionality on the device called "Guided access". Activating guided access will lock the device in a single application.
It is unlikely that we will mandate this for the housekeeping application, hence we recommend making use of the native settings.
