Set Up Cleaning Time Allotment by Room Type (Cloud) 🎥
Cleaning time allotments define the expected amount of time assigned housekeepers should take to clean a room based on its type (for example, a king room versus a suite). In Visual Matrix Cloud, you can assign these cleaning time values by room type so that downstream reports can compare expected times to actual performance. This helps properties monitor productivity, evaluate staffing plans, and understand how real effort compares to forecasted workload. This setup is typically completed during initial housekeeping configuration or whenever room types or staffing expectations are updated.
Path: Housekeeping > Setup > Time Allotment
Instructions
1. In the Room Types section on the left side of the page, locate the room type you want to configure.
2. In the # Min Make column, enter the number of minutes a housekeeper is expected to spend cleaning the room during a Make service.
3. In the # Min Change column, enter the number of minutes a housekeeper is expected to spend cleaning the room during a Change service.
4. Click the Save icon (floppy disk) on the same row to save the cleaning time allotment for that room type.
5. Repeat these steps for each room type as needed. Each room type must be saved individually to ensure the cleaning time values are applied correctly.
