Trakora — Modules

Hotel — keys, room assets, housekeeping

Updated May 8, 20260 views

Hotel

The Hotel module covers RFID room keys, room-asset tracking (TVs, kettles, bedding), and a housekeeping rounds workflow with a built-in cleanliness audit. It runs on a Trakora Hotel Edge box with 1–4 fixed readers and a Chainway handheld.

1. Issue a keycard

  1. Front desk picks the room and check-out date.
  2. Tap Issue key. Place a blank Mifare card on the desk encoder.
  3. The card is encoded with a one-way token; the lock validates it offline.
  4. Issue extra cards for additional guests (up to 4 per booking by default).

A guest who tries to enter after their check-out time is silently denied; a soft alert reaches the front desk.

2. Lost key

  1. Front desk → Bookings → Find booking → Re-issue key.
  2. Trakora bumps the room's key-rotation counter; all previously issued cards become invalid.
  3. Encode a new card and hand it over.

3. Room asset tracking

Tag durable assets with UHF stickers:

  • TVs, mini-fridges, kettles, hairdryers, irons
  • Bedding sets, towel sets (washable laundry tags)
  • Bathroom amenities (high-shrink items)

A handheld sweep at check-out reconciles the room in 10 seconds. Missing items trigger a guest charge or, if found, a misplacement note for housekeeping.

4. Housekeeping rounds

Each housekeeper carries a Chainway C66. The app shows their rooms in priority order (early checkouts first).

For each room the housekeeper:

  1. Scans the door tag — Trakora marks the room as being cleaned.
  2. Walks a checklist (bed, bathroom, mini-bar, towels, supplies).
  3. Photographs anything irregular.
  4. Scans the door tag again to mark ready.

Front desk can release the room as soon as it flips to ready.

5. Cleanliness audit (MoH-style)

Supervisors run spot audits — a 25-point checklist on bedding, surfaces, bathroom hygiene, smell, dust, mini-bar stock. Failures are routed back to the housekeeper with photo evidence and a re-clean is scheduled.

6. Reports

  • Occupancy by room type and date
  • Average clean time per housekeeper
  • Asset shrinkage by month
  • Guest no-show keys

All exportable to CSV / PDF.
