How to assign housekeeping staff

Step 1: Set up your staff (one-time setup)

  1. Go to Housekeeping

  2. Click the down arrow next to Assign staff

  3. Select Manage staff

  4. Click Add staff

  5. Enter staff name and optional notes (e.g. shift, preferences)

  6. Save


Step 2: Generate daily assignments

  1. Click Assign staff

  2. Tick which staff are working today

  3. Click Assign

Rooms will be distributed evenly across selected staff.

You can also update assignments by clicking on the assigned/unassigned staff name.


How to use filters and search

Use the filters at the top of the room list to quickly find what you need:

  • Status (Clean, Dirty, etc.)

  • Room

  • Assignee

  • Notes

This helps when you’re under pressure and need to locate specific rooms fast.


How to add or view notes

  1. Find the room in the list

  2. Click add note

  3. Enter your message (e.g. “Extra towels needed”)

Notes are visible to your team and saved in note history.


Understanding room sections

Rooms are grouped to match your daily workflow:

  • Turnovers - these are rooms where someone is departing and a new person is arriving in the same day.

  • Departures - these are rooms where people are leaving today. If someone else is arriving in that room today too, then they'll appear in Turnovers.

  • Stayovers - you'll see what rooms, with how many guests, and where they are in their stay. This is great for keeping up with housekeeping procedures, like changing sheets every 3 days.

  • Arrivals - because these rooms were empty before the guest is due to arrive, you just need to give them a quick spruce up to make sure the rooms are ready for these people.

  • Closed - let your team know if housekeeping or maintenance is required.

  • Empty – no bookings (good for deep cleaning or checks)


Important notes

  • Staff assignment requires permissions
