Hotel Housekeeping Embraces High Tech Software to Prevent Bottlenecks in Service

Hotel Housekeeping Embraces High Tech Software to Prevent Bottlenecks in Service

Trouble between the front office and housekeeping staff of your hotel? Smart-tech and powered linen carts are driving a revolution, increasing the quality of communication between these two, often rival, staff subsets.

Beating Bottlenecks & Banishing Battles

Smart property management software, or ‘smart PMS,’ paired with powered linen carts, are revolutionizing the hotel industry, allowing for real-time, dynamic status updates that equal unprecedented hotel cost management.

Automatically alerting housekeeping staff via smartphone or mobile device of guest checkouts, smart PMS is reducing tension between housekeeping and front office staff, preventing the need for housekeeping to loiter while awaiting guest checkout, boosting efficiency and room prep times.

The Battle on the Frontline

As guests continue to look to ‘experience’ as a barometer, housekeeping is increasingly on the front line of exceptional service, relied upon to provide spotless rooms that are ready on-time, alongside providing a rapid response to hotel guest requests.

Improve operations with less resources and ensure a higher quality experience for guests by providing them a timely and tidy hotel stay. The future of housekeeping, like many industries, lies in mobile apps and automated technology.

The Future of Housekeeping Management

Leaving inefficient clipboards of printed reports and antiquated walkie-talkies in the rearview, smart PMS and well-organized, well-stocked, self-powered housekeeping carts are giving participating hotels an edge. They also prevent time-wasting trips to the front office and supply closets.

Alerting both housekeeping and front office staff to status changes, cleanings/inspections can be immediately addressed, and front desk staff alerted in real-time on the availability of rooms for early check-in, preventing interruptions in workflow.

Business lagging? Keep things shipshape and moving for employees, guests, and your business with the help of powered linen carts from DJ Products today.

Hotels and Bed Bugs – The Problem That Won’t Go Away

Take Care When Handling Linens in Your Hotel in Case of Bed bug Infestation. Let Us Help You Minimize Contact!

If you operate a hotel, bed bugs are going to rear their ugly heads at some point. Cleanliness is your best prevention and legal protection. Since bed bugs mostly infest fabrics, hoteliers should consider powered hotel linen carts to keep up with laundry duties and give housekeeping more time to check around mattress edges to catch the problem early.

Travelers expect hotel staff to take bed bug reports seriously. Fast action goes a long way to keep people from blaming management for a problem that was probably brought in by the previous occupant of the room.

Know how to get rid of bed bugs so your staff can effectively treat infested linens, and so you can advise unhappy guests about what they can do to clean their own laundry when they get home.

– Wash linens, mattress covers, and other washable upholstery in the room on the hottest temperature for both the washer and dryer.

– Seal linens in a plastic bag and freeze them for a day to kill bed bugs and eggs.

– Hire an exterminator if you have blood spots or evidence of bed bugs nesting inside a mattress or box spring.

Stay On Top of Things with Powered Hotel Linen Carts

A little automation technology can keep your housekeeping staff full of energy and empowered to complete their duties quickly and efficiently. Our powered hotel linen carts can travel from 0–3 mph with ergonomic steering.

Bed bugs don’t have to be a devastating problem. Upgrade those heavy pushcarts with a battery-powered cart puller or a fully motorized linen cart so staff can complete daily tasks and respond to complaints quickly.

Indie Arts Themed Hotels – An Emerging New Trend

Visitors usually have to go to a local art museum to view and appreciate artwork. However, one hotel company is bringing art to the hotel scene with a bit of creative rebranding. Find out more about this inventive indie arts hotel concept that is expected to change the typical hotel guest experience.

Indie Arts at the Inn

Marcus Hotels and Resorts recently made an announcement that the InterContinental Milwaukee hotel will be adopting this new concept. The idea behind it is to create an intriguing blend of hotel surroundings and amenities mixed with the arts. Among the “Do Not Disturb” signs, powered hotel linen carts and other common hotel sights, guests will also see works of art arranged in curated exhibits.

The hotel also plans on hosting live performances on site as part of the indie arts concept, and guests will be able to watch artists at work at the on-site art studio.

Inspiration and Healing

Where did this innovative idea come from? Marcus Hotels and Resorts believes that the inspiration and healing that the arts provide will enhance the experience of hotel guests. This concept is also a way to pay tribute to Milwaukee’s art scene by displaying works of art from local artists in addition to international artists.

The indie arts hotel should be ready for unveiling by mid-2019. Once the hotel is officially open for business, guests will be able to explore Milwaukee’s art scene in greater detail while enjoying their stay.
