How to use it
- One list per room, not per shift. A room is done or it is not.
- The photo of the finished room is the inspection. It trains new staff on what done looks like.
- Times are targets for a trained person. Score completion, not speed, in a new hire's first week.
Template questions
Can housekeeping attach a photo of the finished room?
Yes. Any task can require photo proof. The photo is timestamped and tied to the person who completed the task.
Does the checklist work per room?
In Skorops a housekeeping room task can nest its cleaning steps, so the dashboard shows exactly which rooms are ready.
Run it with scoring, photo proof and timestamps.
