About

HouseKeeping

Features
Read full description

This app is specifically designed for hotel housekeeping staff, enabling supervisors and team leaders to monitor the real-time status of housekeeping staff. When housekeeping staff run out of supplies, they can directly request a runner to deliver the necessary items promptly. The app also allows supervisors to request that a room be redone and provide a specific reason for the request, helping maintain consistent housekeeping quality and efficiency. To support users who speak different languages, the app integrates Google Translate. When a supervisor sends a message in English and the recipient’s system language is set to Chinese, the app automatically translates the message into the recipient’s preferred language, ensuring clear and seamless communication across language barriers. How to test the app: Step 1 — Open the Hub on any browser (no login required) Visit: https://housekeeping-hub-47f.pages.dev Tap "Create Meeting" to generate a Meeting ID and QR code. Step 2 — Set up the mobile app Open the app → enter any name (e.g., Reviewer) and employee ID (e.g., 001) → tap Save. Step 3 — Join the meeting On the main screen, tap "Join Meeting" → enter the 6-character Meeting ID shown on the Hub → tap Join.
