Housekeeping requests by QR code
A small card in each room: guests scan, tap "Fresh towels" or "Room cleaning", and the request goes to housekeeping, with the room number, without a phone call to reception.
How it works
- Each room has its own code. Scanning it opens a page for that room: no app, no sign-in for the guest.
- The guest taps what they need, like Fresh towels, Room cleaning, Extra pillows or Something's broken, and can add a note.
- The right team gets it. Towels and cleaning go to housekeeping, repairs to maintenance. Staff on duty get a phone alert.
- One person accepts it, so two people don't go to the same room. The guest's page shows when it's accepted and done.
- Managers see every request with its times, and a daily report: how many, how fast, which rooms and which teams.
Setting it up
- Start from the hotel template. It fills in example rooms, request buttons and teams; change anything.
- Group locations, like Rooms, Pool and Restaurant, and choose which buttons each shows: a pool lounger doesn't need "Room cleaning".
- Add your team. Each person sets their own PIN, starts a shift and turns on phone alerts.
- Print the room cards from the dashboard, and test one room with your own phone.
Where to put the code
- A table card on the desk or bedside table, about 5 cm wide.
- Next to the in-room information or the TV.
- Not on the door: guests use it from inside the room.
What you need, honestly
- Staff with phones (or a tablet in the housekeeping office) and the internet.
- Someone on duty to accept requests. If nobody is, owners and managers are alerted instead, and guests can see outside-hours messages you write.
- Built-in limits slow down repeated and prank requests, and staff can block a phone.
