How to use this housekeeping workload planner
Housekeeping scheduling is easiest when you separate departures (full cleans) from stayovers (lighter service). This planner converts your room counts and time standards into total hours needed and compares it to your available staff hours.
If the balance is negative, you can act early: call in part-time help, adjust assignments, change service levels for low-priority stayovers, or coordinate with front desk for staggered check-outs. This is especially valuable on high-occupancy weekends or group days.
Tips for better estimates
- Track actual minutes per room by room type (e.g., suites vs standard) and update your standards monthly.
- Account for public areas and linen runs separately if they materially impact shift time.
- During peak occupancy, add a buffer for late check-outs and maintenance interruptions.
