Hotel Inventory App for Linen, Minibars, Amenities and Bar Stock
Hotel stock disappears quietly: a towel set a week, a minibar never restocked, shampoo ordered twice. Describe what your hotel holds to Mythex and it builds an inventory app with par levels, movements, laundry counts and a reorder list staff can update from a phone.
Who it's for
Hotels whose housekeepers count linen on paper, whose minibars are restocked from memory, and whose bar and kitchen stock is reordered when someone notices it is gone.
What you can build
- Linen and towel par levels per floor
- Items out at the laundry and items returned
- Minibar and amenity stock per room
- Bar, kitchen and banqueting supplies with reorder points
- Write-offs for damaged or missing items with a reason
- A stocktake screen for counting on a phone
Linen is where the money goes
Keep several sets per bed as a par level, and count what goes to the laundry and what comes back. When the numbers drift, you know within a week rather than at year end. Damaged items are written off with a reason so you can see whether the problem is the laundry or the rooms.
Minibars and amenities by room
Each room has a standard minibar and amenity set. Housekeeping records what was used on the phone during the clean, the charge goes to the folio, and the restock list for the floor builds itself.
- Standard set per room type
- Used items logged during cleaning
- Restock list per floor
Bar, kitchen and banqueting
Give each supply a unit, a location and a reorder point. Banqueting stock such as chair covers and linen for functions is reserved against an event date so it is not used elsewhere that week.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not count everything weekly; count linen and bar stock weekly and slow items monthly. Do not let one person both write off and approve losses. And start with one floor before rolling out to the whole building.
A prompt to start from
Build an inventory app for my hotel. Track linen and towels with par levels per floor and counts sent to and returned from the laundry, minibar and amenity stock per room logged by housekeeping on a phone, bar and kitchen supplies with reorder points, and write-offs with a reason. Show a weekly reorder list and a stocktake screen.
Questions
Can housekeeping update stock from a phone?
Yes. The app runs in a mobile browser, so staff count and adjust stock without installing anything.
Can minibar use be charged to the guest?
If your folios are in the same app, used items can be added as charges. With a separate PMS, you can export a daily list for the front desk.
Can I import my current stock list?
Yes. Export it as a CSV and ask Mythex for an import.
Do I need to code?
No. You describe what you hold and how you count it, and change things by chatting.
Is it free?
You can build and publish on the Free plan without a card. Pro is $25 a month for a custom domain, code editing, export and more credits.
