Housekeeper and housekeeping supervisor

For housekeeping — the rooms to clean and inspect, your work on a phone, reporting a problem in a room, working without a connection, and for the supervisor giving work out and blocking rooms.

Welcome to housekeeping. This manual follows a housekeeper’s day in JupitaPos and points you to the guide for each job, with pictures of the real screens — most of them on a phone.

Who this manual is for

You clean and ready the rooms: rooms guests have left, rooms with guests staying on, and the extra jobs the front desk or your supervisor give you. When you mark a room done, the front desk sees it ready for the next guest. The supervisor gives work out, checks it, reopens what is not right, and takes rooms out of order for repairs.

  • System roles: Housekeeper (housekeeper) and Housekeeping Supervisor (housekeeping_supervisor).
  • In the pictures: Hope (Hope Housekeeping) cleans Kololo Suites, the twelve rooms above the Kololo restaurant of Jupita Restaurant Demo; Simon (Simon Supervisor) is the housekeeping supervisor.
  • What you see and what you do not: room numbers, what each room needs and the notes for housekeeping. You never see guests’ bills, payments, phone numbers or identity documents — you do not need them.
  • Where you work: on your phone, from room to room; or on the housekeeping board on a tablet or computer. Your phone keeps working when the Wi-Fi drops in a corridor.

A day at work

  1. Sign in on your phone and clock in — Sign in, Clock in and out. You land on your work for today.
  2. Read your rooms in order: checkouts to clean first for the day’s arrivals, then stay-overs — Work your rooms from a phone.
  3. At each room, choose Start, clean, then Done. A room that needs checking goes to the supervisor; the front desk sees it ready when it is clean (or inspected) — Clean and ready rooms.
  4. Something broken, missing or dirty beyond a clean? Report it from the room with what you saw — the supervisor and the desk are told.
  5. Lost the connection? Carry on: your phone saves what you did and sends it when it is back — Clean rooms from a phone without a connection.
  6. Supervisor: give the work out, check the rooms waiting for inspection, reopen a clean that is not right, block a room for repairs and release it — Supervise housekeeping.
  7. Clock out — Clock in and out.

  • The administrator fixes your account and your PIN.
  • The Help Center: Help & Training › Role-Based Manuals in the menu, or the ? at the top of any screen — Find help.
