When one guest leaves and another arrives that afternoon, tasks can pile up. Property operations shows the time between reservations and helps organise cleaning and inspections. Distinguish planned times from work actually completed on site.

At a glance

  • See today’s work and message tasks in Property operations.
  • Review the time from check-out to the next check-in in the preparation schedule.
  • Create cleaning and inspection tasks within that period.
  • Mark completion only after the work is finished on site.
  • Recheck preparation windows and tasks if reservation times change.

1. Open Property operations

Go to Reservation operations → Property operations. It contains today’s tasks, preparation schedules and task management, separate from the calendar-connection screen.

Today's to-do, preparation schedule, and task management screen for accommodation operation
Choose your accommodation first, then look at the preparations and tasks in Today's To Do list. View larger screen ↗

2. Check today’s work and overdue items

Review tasks to finish and messages to send today. Check delayed or unfinished lists for earlier preparation still needing attention.

Message copied, cleaning completed and property ready are recorded separately. Completing one does not complete the others.

3. Review the available preparation time

Check the current check-out and next check-in dates and times. If the next arrival is tomorrow, include the date when reading the available interval.

For overlapping or unclear reservations, check the source platform and actual room condition first. A calendar alone does not establish that a room is vacant.

Preparation schedule screen with no scheduled preparation schedule
If there is no reservation schedule to prepare, it will appear like this. If you have a reservation, please check the selected accommodation and reservation status first. View larger screen ↗

4. Create a task and describe the work

Select Create task in this window on a preparation card, or choose the property and schedule in task management. Enter a title, instructions and start/end times within the interval after check-out and before the next check-in.

Be more specific than “Cleaning,” for example: “Remove hair from bathroom drain, replace four towels and two bedding sets, take one photo after removing rubbish.” Save recurring titles, instructions and durations in property templates for reuse. Select Create task and check its title and times in the list.

Work plan form to enter task title, content, and start and end time
Write down your work details and set a start and end time. This is the input screen before clicking Create Task. View larger screen ↗

5. Confirm on site before marking completion

A check-out time passing does not prove the guest has left. The person who actually confirms departure, cleaning, inspection and access preparation should mark the corresponding stage complete.

Use reservation times to plan, and check departure and room readiness on site.

6. Replan when reservations change

When the next arrival time changes, review the preparation window and task plan. Even if marked Property ready, recheck access details and readiness against the changed reservation.

Plus supports this workflow for one host. Premium adds team functions such as cleaner assignment, comments and approvals.

Check your progress

  • You reviewed the interval between check-out and the next check-in.
  • You kept tasks within that interval.
  • You confirmed work on site before marking completion.
