Housekeeping Checklist: Cleaning Checklist For Hotels & Resorts

If you are running a resort hotel, you know the importance of housekeeping. If you want your clients to have a five star experience, then that includes presenting them with a resort that is as hygienic as possible. There are many reasons why you should aim for cleaning your resort as effectively as possible, such as;

• Giving your customers the most pleasant experience possible
• Creating the easiest environment for your staff to work in (so they can focus on enhancing your customers’ experience)
• Complying with existing health and safety laws that are in place to give your customers as safe an experience as possible, etc.

Housekeeping is not easy. You have to constantly keep track of all the rooms, and delegate the many cleaning tasks associated with each room to all of your various staff, who you then have to monitor and keep track of in order to ensure that they are cleaning rooms efficiently and properly. It is important to follow the correct process for cleaning each section of a resort, so that each room is consistent in its cleanliness. 

It is difficult to track all these tasks due to their sheer multitude. This is why housekeeping checklists are so important, as they are easy-to-use and very clear. You can track all the tasks you want completed with checklists, but they also let your cleaning staff know what they need to do, enabling them to work independently.

However, that large number of cleaning tasks is exactly why making housekeeping checklists manually can be as big a chore as not having checklists at all. This is for all kinds of different reasons, including;

• It can be a huge drain on time and resources to create the checklists themselves, especially if you have a higher number of cleaning staff and a larger establishment with more rooms to keep track of, which drastically affects how many different checklists are needed
• Distributing copies of the checklists among your entire cleaning staff, particularly ensuring that people receive the correct checklists for the right jobs
• Making sure each of these cleaning checklists are completed by the right people on time and to the standard that is expected of them
• Storing these cleaning checklists for future reference, etc.

It does not matter whether you are writing housekeeping checklists by hand with a pen and paper or typing them into documents that can be printed or emailed to all your staff, as neither method is better than the other. You will still have to deal with all the above issues to the same degree. A dedicated cleaning software solution helps immensely with this because it individually addresses all these issues with its sophisticated functionality.

This is where Operandio stands out, as it offers one of the most comprehensive cleaning checklist software solutions available. Make sure your housekeeping is in perfect shape, your rooms are clean and your resort is ready for anything with Operandio’s superior functionality.

How To Use Operandio to Create an Online Checklist

Part of what makes Operandio the perfect checklist software solution for cleaning of all kinds is that it is so easy-to-use. Its processes are streamlined, offering you an unprecedented level of control over how your cleaning is run.

• Create New Task, then set your task as either:

• A one off for when there is only a single job to do
• A recurring task to be completed on a regular basis
• An ad hoc task for staff to complete when needed

1. Assign your new task/process to your staff, whether it’s:

• A single employee
• Multiple employees
• An entire department
• An entire branch
• Your entire business

1. Set a due date and time for your task so your staff knows exactly when it needs to be completed.
   
2. If a task is particularly urgent, you can pin it to the top of your Job Manager so that it is the first task that your staff will see until it is completed. 

That is all it takes to create a task in Operandio. Once these four steps have been completed, you can delegate and then monitor the task. This process is easy, and is exactly the same for every task that you create. Don’t worry about keeping track of the cleaning in your resort, because Operandio will help you take care of it.
