Transforming Housekeeping: How Alice Adapts to Your Hotel’s Daily Needs

Housekeeping is the backbone of hotel operations, playing a crucial role in ensuring every guest’s stay is impeccable. In the dynamic environment of a hotel, the needs of both the property and its guests can change not just daily, but sometimes even hourly. This constant flux demands a flexible and efficient housekeeping team.

To meet these evolving demands, Alice Housekeeping has introduced new enhancements designed to improve your team’s adaptability and efficiency. These upgrades streamline your operations by enhancing daily filters and rule customization, ensuring dynamic adjustments with clear guidance, saving valuable time, and reducing the risk of overlooked errors. With these tools, your housekeeping team can handle daily challenges with greater accuracy and consistency. And if you’re thinking your hotel’s needs change more by the second, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered there, too!

Automated and Educated Assignments: Advanced Auto-Assign

Creating housekeeping boards daily is a meticulous task that requires careful consideration of each room and room type while maintaining assigned credit limits. This process can be time-consuming, often taking up valuable time that could be better spent on other important tasks.

Enter Advanced Auto-Assign. The innovative solution that allows you to set daily preferences and let the system create your boards automatically. Advanced Auto-Assign customizes distributed tasks and sections based on your in-house needs, significantly reducing the time spent on creating boards.

With Advanced Auto-Assign, housekeeping managers and supervisors can reclaim valuable time and focus on more pressing responsibilities. This feature boosts team efficiency and ensures smooth and effective operations, easily meeting your hotel's dynamic needs.

Seamless Prioritization: Auto Pilot 2.0

Prioritizing rooms is a crucial aspect of housekeeping, ensuring that the most important tasks are completed first to maintain guest satisfaction and operational efficiency. However, maintaining this prioritization can be challenging due to the numerous factors that must be considered. VIP guests, early check-ins, and high-demand room types all require special attention, making it challenging to keep everything in order.

Imagine if it could all be done with the click of a button. This is where Auto-Pilot 2.0 steps into the spotlight! Auto-Pilot 2.0 allows you to reprioritize your boards on an as-needed basis, adjusting to in-house or arrival demands seamlessly. Room attendants can easily identify and follow priorities by the assignment order of their boards, ensuring that all important tasks are noticed.

Automating this task with Auto-Pilot 2.0 helps avoid errors and missed items, providing a more efficient and reliable way to manage your housekeeping operations. By adjusting assignments based on real-time needs, this feature ensures that your team can respond dynamically to changing conditions, ultimately enhancing guest satisfaction and operational performance.

Recognizing Hard Work: The Importance of Credit Management

In the world of housekeeping, credits are more than just numbers–they represent the hard work and dedication of your room attendants. Properly managing these credits is crucial for team satisfaction, ensuring that each room attendant’s contributions are fairly recognized and valued.

Alice Credit Rules are designed to address the specific challenges of credit allocation. For example, if a room attendant is assigned rooms on multiple floors, their credits can be automatically increased by 2. Similarly, if they have more than 4 checkout cleans, their credits can be increased by 1. This flexibility also applies to reducing credits based on specific criteria.

By setting these rules, the system automatically adjusts credits when special criteria are met, saving time and reducing the risk of errors. This automation quickly identifies rooms that require special attention, making complex housekeeping operations more manageable. For on-the-fly changes, Alice Housekeeping also supports individual ad hoc credit adjustments made by your housekeeping leadership.

Automating the credit adjustment process helps prevent assignment errors and ensures fair credit allocation. This not only enhances team morale but also provides a consistent and accurate reflection of the work performed, resulting in a more satisfied and motivated housekeeping team.
