step4-Use of Information

I search from internet

step5-Synthesis: Putting it all together

The Housekeeping Department is one of the busiest sections in the hotel as far as the variety of functions performed, and number of staff working. It is usually situated at the laundry room or any other convenient place close to Housekeeping Supplies.

-Process of making the room
  1. Checkout clerk (or cashier) contacts the Housekeeping Department that a room became vacant and needs cleaning!
  2. Housekeeping Department updates the room status from occupied to on-change and sends a room maid to clean the room
  3. Room maid cleans the room and contacts the housekeeping department back about the latest status and condition of the room (especially for out-of-order and out-of-service!)
  4. If the room is Out Of Order for any reason (i.e. Room is extensively dirty, or needs repair!), then the Housekeeping Department deducts that room from those available for sale, until either scheduled to be extensively cleaned or post to the confirmation from the Maintenance Department that the deficiency was repaired!
  5. Housekeeping Department sends their inspectors to check whether the stated room has been cleaned to the hotel standards or not
  6. If the room is cleaned to hotel’s standards, the Housekeeping Department shall update the room status from On-Change to Clean and Available for Sale and communicate this to the Front Office Department!
  7. If the room is not cleaned to hotel standards, inspectors communicate to the Housekeeping Department that the room shall be cleaned again!
