Breakfast Order and Dietary Sheet
Get the kitchen a single list the night before, so the first pan goes on knowing who is eating, when, and what one guest cannot have.
Category
Rooms turned round, guests arrived, faults reported and the shift handed over.
A room has to be stripped, cleaned, checked and signed for before somebody sleeps in it, and the whole thing runs on short sheets that get carried on a trolley. These are those. Nothing here sets a cleaning standard or a turnaround time — your house standard does, and this records that it was met.
Get the kitchen a single list the night before, so the first pan goes on knowing who is eating, when, and what one guest cannot have.
See at a glance which rooms are overdue for a deep clean instead of hunting through a stack of job sheets or trusting that somebody remembers.
Set the room the way it was agreed on the day it was booked, with nothing left to a phone call on the morning of the event.
Carry what a guest told you at the desk to the kitchen and to housekeeping without it being retold from memory, and show it was confirmed with them.
Know at any point in the day who is in, who is still expected and which rooms are back with housekeeping, without opening a booking system.
Build a clear evidence trail for a damage charge, so a dispute is answered with dates, names and photographs rather than a memory of the room.
Turn a comment card or a review into things that get done, and make sure the guest hears back — praise included, so it reaches the person who earned it.
Keep a paper diary that shows every booking, deposit and cancellation for the week, so a double booking or an unpaid deposit is seen before the guest arrives.
Know which keys are out at the end of every shift, and have a line to point to when a key or card goes missing.
Stop a request dying between the desk and the person who does it, and make sure the guest hears that it has been done.
Get every room cleaned the same way whoever is on the trolley. A fault is caught by the checker rather than by the guest.
Stop a guest standing in the lobby waiting for a car nobody actually booked, and put the right fare on the right bill.
Answer the questions every guest asks in the first hour before they ask them. One page, on the desk in the room.
Know what a floor actually used in a shift, and stock the trolley from a count. Linen that goes missing shows up in the numbers.
Answer a guest's call about a lost charger with one look at a page. Everything found has a line showing what happened to it.
Get minibar charges onto the bill before the guest is at the desk. The fridges stay stocked and in date without a second visit.
One page that shows the house was counted, the money balanced and the building walked. The morning shift gets what it needs on the same sheet.
See which nights and which rates worked without waiting for a monthly report. The figures sit side by side where you can read them.
Date a piece of damage to a stay, plan replacements before things fall apart, and reorder the right colour first time.
Know which cards exist for which rooms at any moment. When a card is lost there is a line to point to.
Get a dripping tap or a dead kettle from the housekeeper who found it to the person who can fix it, on paper, with a record of whether the room could still be let in the meantime.
See at a glance which rooms are ready and which are not, without walking the corridor or ringing housekeeping, and have a record of when each room went back to reception.
Find the missing pan, the short set of towels or the dead remote at the changeover, when there is still time to replace it, rather than from the next guest's review.
Stop the things one shift knew from disappearing when they go home — the late arrival, the room out of order, the contractor due at seven — by writing them down and having the next shift sign that they read them.
Give the desk a routine that gets ticked off every shift, rather than relying on whoever is on to remember all of it from habit.
