Housekeeping finds out late
Whether a room is vacant or occupied is a radio call, and the list is on paper at the desk.
For hotels and motels
Today's rooms, and the tips from the shift.
A hotel day is the room board, where the desk marks a room vacant or occupied and housekeeping sees the same room, a work request opened from that room, the note the desk leaves for the next shift, and cash tips with the hours export.

The week before AppyShift
What hotel / hospitality managers are juggling
The board and the schedule disagree
The desk knows which rooms are turning. The schedule still shows yesterday.
Tips in two systems
Gratuities are rebuilt before payroll.
One week in AppyShift
The same week, with this industry's tools
Each screen is a real AppyShift page from a sample company, showing a tool this industry turns on.
During the day
Each room's status
The desk marks a room vacant or occupied. Housekeeping sees that on the same board, with who is assigned and the clean for the day.
- Vacant or occupied, shared with housekeeping
- The attendant is on the room
The room board from a sample hotel. Each room shows vacant or occupied, the clean for the day, and who is assigned. A work request stays on room 202.
During the day
A work request for a room
Open the room and send a work request. It stays on that room for housekeeping or maintenance.
- The request is opened from the room
- It is a work request, not a client visit
A work request opened from a sample hotel room. The job is the bulbs in room 202.
Shift change
The desk log
A late checkout is a note the next shift reads, not a text thread.
- The room and the time
- The next shift sees it in the log
The front desk log. This note says room 204 is a late checkout.
End of shift
Cash tips

Questions from hotel / hospitality managers
What this setup does, and what it leaves with you.
Can AppyShift schedule different hotel departments?
Yes. Managers can define positions and work locations, then create and publish scheduled shifts using that structure.
What happens if a housekeeping or desk employee calls out?
An enabled self-service call-out records the affected shift. The shift can reopen for qualified pickup and configured notifications can be sent.
