Hotel Staff Scheduling App: Housekeeping, Front Desk and Banqueting Rotas
Hotel rotas fail when housekeeping is staffed by habit instead of by departures, and when weddings borrow waiters from the restaurant. Describe your departments, shifts and people to Mythex and it builds a scheduling app where every team sees who works when.
Who it's for
Hotels that plan rotas in a spreadsheet or group chat, scramble for banqueting staff on wedding weekends, and want housekeeping hours to follow the occupancy forecast.
What you can build
- Week views by department: front desk, night audit, housekeeping, kitchen, banqueting
- Housekeeping hours suggested from departures and stayovers
- A casual staff list for weddings and conferences
- Time-off requests and shift swaps with manager approval
- First aid and alcohol service certificates per shift
- Hours per person for payroll
Housekeeping from the forecast
A checkout room takes longer than a stayover. Bring tomorrow's departures and stayovers into the app, set minutes per room type, and let the rota suggest housekeeping hours. A Sunday after a wedding needs a different team from a quiet Tuesday.
Events need their own pool
Keep a casual list for banqueting with each person's skills and availability. When a wedding is confirmed, open shifts to them first, so the restaurant is not left short on the same night.
- Casual staff with skills
- Shifts offered per event
- Confirmed numbers per function
Publish early, swap with approval
Publish rotas a week or two ahead where you can. Staff request time off and propose swaps in the app, and a manager approves. Certificates like first aid or alcohol service are checked so every shift has the cover it needs.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not leave night audit off the main rota. Do not let swaps happen in the group chat without updating the app. And check working-time rules that apply where you operate when building long shifts.
A prompt to start from
Build a staff scheduling app for my hotel with front desk, night audit, housekeeping, kitchen and banqueting departments. Suggest housekeeping hours from daily departures and stayovers, keep a casual staff list for weddings, handle time-off requests and swaps with manager approval, check first aid cover per shift, and total hours per person for payroll.
Questions
Can the scheduling app plan housekeeping from room occupancy?
It can if occupancy numbers are in the same app or imported daily. The rota then suggests hours from departures and stayovers.
Can staff see their shifts on their phones?
Yes, the published app works in a phone browser. On Pro, Mythex can also turn it into Android and iPhone apps that open your published app.
Can it export hours for payroll?
Yes. Ask for hours per person per pay period with a CSV export.
Do I need to code?
No. You describe your departments and rules and change them by chatting.
How much does it cost?
The Free plan needs no card. Pro is $25 a month for a custom domain, code editing, export and more credits.
