Running a hospitality business means keeping everything under control — from guest bookings to daily room cleaning and maintenance. But when operations grow and tasks pile up, relying on post-it notes or WhatsApp groups simply isn’t enough.
That’s where Vik Booking’s Task Manager comes in — a smart, built-in tool developed by e4jConnect to help you manage housekeeping and maintenance tasks with clarity, speed, and precision. Whether you’re running a hotel, a vacation rental, a B&B, or overseeing multiple properties as a property manager, this feature can truly transform your daily operations.
Why You Need a Task Manager in Your Booking Software
Hospitality is all about timing and coordination. Guests expect spotless rooms, functional amenities, and a seamless experience. Behind the scenes, that requires clear workflows and communication among your team.
With the Task Manager in Vik Booking, everything you need is right inside your admin panel:
-
Auto-generated housekeeping tasks
-
Staff assignment and real-time status tracking
-
Maintenance reporting and scheduling
-
Automation based on bookings and stay patterns
Let’s explore how each feature helps streamline your business.
Smart Housekeeping Scheduling Based on Guest Flow
Stop wasting time manually planning cleaning schedules each morning. The Task Manager automatically creates housekeeping tasks based on check-in/check-out flow, room type, and length of stay.
Whether it’s a same-day turnover or prepping after a week-long guest, tasks are tailored to real-time needs. You can assign duties to specific cleaners, monitor progress, and ensure each room is ready — no spreadsheets, no second-guessing.
Perfect for:
- Hotels with rotating cleaning shifts
- Vacation rentals with tight turnovers
- B&Bs with small staff needing coordination
One System That Adapts to Hotels and Vacation Rentals
It doesn’t matter if you oversee a hotel with on-site teams or a network of short-term rentals — operational complexity is part of the job. With Vik Booking’s Task Manager, you can coordinate cleanings, inspections, and maintenance for any setup, all from one interface.
Hotel managers can easily monitor shift-based workflows across multiple rooms, while vacation rental hosts and property managers can schedule turnovers, manage remote staff, and adapt quickly to seasonal spikes — without switching platforms or tools.
Because each task is connected to a specific booking, actions are always timely and relevant. The system scales with your business, whether you manage five apartments or a full hotel floor.
Track, Assign, and Customize Task Statuses
From your control panel, you can assign tasks to staff and track progress in real time. The system includes default statuses like “Pending,” “In Progress,” and “Done,” but you can fully customize these to suit your internal workflows.
Need something more tailored to your team’s workflow?
Create your own custom statuses to reflect the exact stages of your operations — for example:
- “Waiting for Inspection”
- “Ready for Guest”
- “Requires Follow-Up”
- “Assigned to Maintenance”
With this level of flexibility, every property can adapt the Task Manager to match its own routine and team structure.
Maintenance Management – Manual or Automated
The Task Manager isn’t just for daily housekeeping. It also helps you stay ahead of maintenance tasks.
You can log issues manually — like a leaky faucet or stained carpet — or configure rules to automatically create tasks. For example, after a long stay or when there’s a gap between reservations, you can schedule inspections, or system checks.
Being proactive helps prevent guest complaints and extends the life of your property.
Built-in Chat for Seamless Communication Between Managers and Staff
Smooth operations require smooth communication — especially when something unexpected pops up.
Vik Booking includes an internal chat linked to each reservation, so managers and staff can communicate instantly without leaving the system. Got a broken lamp? Need to alert someone about a safety issue or an urgent guest request? Just open the task, send a message, and even upload photos on the spot.
This feature is a game-changer for:
- Reporting issues immediately
- Sharing context with photos and notes
- Avoiding delays and misunderstandings
No more scattered conversations across messaging apps. Everything stays connected and documented.
The Bottom Line: Smarter Hospitality operations
Whether you manage a boutique hotel, a family-run B&B, or multiple vacation rentals, Vik Booking’s Task Manager gives you the tools to stay organized, respond quickly, and deliver excellent service — all from one WordPress website.
