Hotel housekeeping departments looking for ways to tighten their belts but continue to provide good service could well look at the new housekeeping technology introduced by Optii Solutions, a private company headquartered in Brisbane, Australia.
Optii Keeper is a software solution that encompasses all housekeeping functions, taking a holistic approach to the management of housekeeping, covering all aspects from forecasting labour requirements, rostering, intelligent schedule optimisation, communication, quality control, training needs analysis and more.
“The housekeeping payroll is often overlooked when traversing the hotel’s profit and loss statement,” said Soenke Weiss, CEO of Optii Solutions. “Executive Housekeepers are asked to improve productivity, but not compromise quality and service in any way. Yet housekeepers have been doing exactly this previously and the potential to obtain further efficiencies with existing processes is limited to say the least.”
“Hotel managers themselves often do not get involved further as they are frequently unfamiliar with housekeeping processes. This means that the single largest payroll expense is practically unaffected.”
