The Hospitable team is looking at improving task management. You’ve already given us lots of great feedback, thank you! 

One thing we’re trying to understand are common tasks, especially for your cleaners, that you want added to your cleaning checklist on an irregular basis. For example: replacing the fire alarm batteries, cleaning windows, dusting, emptying the lint filter on the dryer… What are other tasks that you schedule but that don’t happen on every cleaning?

Emily the customer speaking 😂

I’d like to see tasks divorced from reservations. I need one-off or repeating maintenance tasks that need to happen whether there’s a reservation or not. General property maintenance like:

  • Pest control (once per month)
  • Pressure washing (once per year)
  • Trash bin cleaning (once per quarter)
  • Fire wood stock up (ad-hoc)
  • Etc...

Inspections. Restocking. Safety checks. Gift deliveries.


Not relevant, but I'm going to say it anyway 😤: native checkbox and task tracking feature, please 🤌. 
With api control


Bathroom fans- dusty
shower liners
carpets
garbage disposals

washing machine sanitize

light bulbs

patio maintenace

window blinds

These are things i typically have my quality control manager check. It would be good to have way to track these. Simple like a completed date 

 


Replace a\c filters monthly \ bi-monthly

remove & wash sofa covers as needed or bi-monthly

 


I think this is a hugely important and badly needed improvement.

exterior maintenance (various levels of this… Blowing off of patios/driveways, Landscape type work like mowing lawns weeding)

 

Checking smoke detectors/changing their batteries proactively

 


  • Change hot tub water
  • Clean/change hot tub filter
  • Dust baseboards or hard to reach places
  • Other deep clean activities
  • Clean chimney
  • Yard work
  • Supply restocking

I’m thinking of this more from the booking process.  
Did they complete…

  • Rental agreement
  • ID verification
  • anything else

we need to verify this.  Would be great to have a checkbox for these custom on each reservation and a dashboard to see what’s missing at a glance.  


  • ​​​​​​Trash bin to curb (weekly)
  • Yard (biweekly)
  • Pest control (quarterly)
  • Check fire extinguishers and other safety equipment (life vests, kayaks, bikes, etc...)
  • Perform deep cleans ( every 6 months)
  • Restocking of all kinds of stuff (firewood, welcome basket, bags for pet waste station, etc...)
  • Perform stock inventory (every 6 months)
  • Replace batteries
  • Replace light bulbs
  • Refinish any pots and pans as needed
  • Change water filter and air filter
  • Check furniture for sturdiness
  • Fireplace check
  • Septic Tank (every 5 years)
  • Touch up loose paint
  • Pressure wash exterior (yearly)
  • Gutters clean (yearly)
  • HVAC/Furnace inspection (yearly)

Thank you for making this a more robust system!

PS: any way you could add the ability to take pictures after each inspection? 😁

Not quite task management, but we have bi-monthly recycling pickup. We’d like the option to send out a message every other week, automatically, to our guests to remind them to take the bin out to the curb.

On the same note, would like this message to go out automatically for our cleaning crews on that same day or the night before if their cleaning falls on that day, to take the bin out.
