How to use Housekeeping Gameday

Use this workflow to manually assign rooms, predict shift end times, and track actual performance against your labor standards.

Before you begin...

• Requires "Housekeeping Gameday" permissions.
• Recommended: Use this tool every morning before room attendants start their shifts.
• Note: This tool uses your "Minutes Per Room" (MPR) goals to calculate targets automatically.

1. Set Up the Day's Grid

1. Navigate to Housekeeping Tools > mouse over Housekeeping Gameday > select Housekeeping Gameday.
   
2. Select the Date.
3. Under "Room Attendant List," choose:
   • Show All Active: Displays all employees with the Room Attendant position.
   • Show Only Scheduled: (Recommended) Displays only those scheduled in Scheduler.
4. Enter the Shift Start Time and any Extend Shift minutes (for unpaid breaks or meetings).
5. Click Go to Housekeeping Grid.

2. Assign Rooms & Review Targets

1. Manage Team: If an unscheduled employee is working, click Add New Room Attendant. To remove someone, click the X next to their name.
2. Enter Cleans: Input the number of rooms assigned to each attendant under the appropriate Clean Type columns (e.g., Stayover, Checkout).
3. Review Stats: As you enter numbers, the Total Assigned Cleans, Target Hours, and Shift Stop (estimated) columns will update automatically based on your Labor Standards (and Cart Stocking time, if configured).
4. Adjust: Click an individual's Start Time to edit it if they arrived late/early.

3. Save & Print

1. Once the workload is balanced and Shift Stop times look correct, click Save & Print Schedule.
2. Distribute the printed sheets to your team.

4. Enter Actuals (End of Shift)

1. Return to Housekeeping Gameday and click Enter Housekeeping Cleans.
2. Update the counts with the actual number of rooms cleaned by each attendant (verify against their paper assignment sheets).
3. Note: You can also track DNDs (Do Not Disturb) here.
4. Click Save and Exit.

The Result

• Success: Your actual room counts will automatically transfer to Night Audit Entry, ensuring your 5-Minute Daily Labor Check-In and productivity reports are accurate.

If this fails...

• Note: If you cannot find a room attendant in the list, verify they are set up with the "Room Attendant" position in Time & Attendance.
• Note: If "Cart Stocking" time is missing from the calculation, a Labor Standard Administrator must add a variable standard for "Housekeeping Cart Stocking" in the Labor Plans.
