Hotel Operations
Requests and scheduled maintenance become work orders with a place, an owner and a due time, verified before they close, with late or unowned work put in front of a person.
The problem
A towel request is shouted down a corridor, a repair is written on paper, and a late work order is found when the guest complains. Nobody can say who owns it or how long it has waited.
Guest and department requests are raised in Roomline and become work orders with a place, owner and due time.
The Work orders list suggests an owner and writes out why: department, room, floor, workload. A supervisor assigns or overrides.
A work order moves from Open through Accepted, In progress and Completed to Verified and Closed, with a written history. The chief engineer’s schedules open recurring work, and each repair stays on the equipment.
Anyone can ask a supervisor for help. Late, held or unowned work appears on a ranked Priorities list.
Also in Work orders
The rest of the engineering desk, beside the work orders themselves.
Work orders is owned by engineering and sits beside Roomline, using the same records.
Recurring services with step-by-step procedures, set by the chief engineer. Due schedules become tasks for the engineer named, and a failed step opens repair work.
Grand Harbour Hotel sample data
20 optional rules in five groups, such as open maintenance when it is due and warn when a room will not be ready for an arrival. Each is off until an operations manager turns it on, shows what it would do right now, and one switch pauses them all.

A realistic scenario
A banquet manager reports a failed light in a meeting room. It becomes an engineering work order with the place, a priority and a due time, and Roomline suggests an owner with reasons. If it runs late it appears on the supervisor’s Priorities list, and it closes only after the fix is verified.
