Praxis

Documents from inside a running hotel. The forms are shown empty; the guides are complete. Nothing here names a property or carries a number from one.

PRX-001 · instrument · Laundry · v1.0

Laundry shift time log

A one-page sheet a laundry worker carries for a single shift, marking what they were actually doing in each block of minutes — washing, moving carts, or waiting.

  • six activity codes, one tick per time block
  • the closing arithmetic that catches gaps
  • counter questions on the last page, asked first

The sheet checks itself: the minutes written down must add up to the whole shift, so a gap is visible before the page leaves the room.

Housekeeping shift time log

The same sheet for a room cleaner — plus one extra number: how many rooms actually got finished that shift.

  • the same six-code grid, tuned for rooms
  • rooms-finished count, split checkout and stayover
  • one shift filled in = rooms per worked hour

Checks itself the same way — and because it also counts rooms finished, one filled-in shift tells you how many rooms a worked hour really produces.

Housekeeping closet organization guide

How to set up a hotel supply closet so anyone can find anything — shelf by shelf, with how much of each item to keep on hand.

  • the shelf-by-shelf layout standard
  • par levels scaled to rooms served
  • a five-day rollout that doesn't stop operations

PRX-004 · guide · Front desk × Housekeeping · v1.0

Arrival-wave room blocking methodology

How to clean rooms in the right ORDER on a day when a busload of guests all arrives at once.

  • the three arrival waves and how to read them
  • block sequencing housekeeping can actually follow
  • the no-ETA workaround, step by step

PDF · MDHow does room readiness meet arrivals that land in waves?

PRX-005 · guide · Inventory · v1.0

Inventory par-level tracking template

A counting routine for supplies that keeps working after the one person who understood it quits — the paper remembers, so nobody has to.

  • setting pars from usage, not guesses
  • the count cadence by item class
  • handover sheets that survive turnover

PDF · MDWhat keeps a count alive after the person who kept it leaves?

PRX-006 · guide · All departments · v1.0

Daily operations flow overview

A map of a hotel's entire day, hour by hour — who does what, and where one department hands off to the next.

  • the day as one loop across departments
  • where handoffs actually happen
  • the hour bands where days are won or lost

PDF · MDWhat is the shape of a hotel's day?

PRX-007 · guide · Capital planning · v1.0

AI-assisted capital-plan sequencing

How to turn a renovation to-do list into an actual schedule — what happens when, and what it costs to have rooms closed while it does.

  • turning PIP scope into phased sequence
  • what closed rooms cost in each month
  • scheduling against your own occupancy curve

PDF · MDWhen does each piece of a renovation happen, and what does it cost to be closed?

Replication dossier

A one-page form filled in every time a number gets used to make a decision — what the question was, what sources were used, and exactly how a second person could re-derive the answer.

  • seven sections from question to open edges
  • a checks list you tick only if you ran it
  • the replicate section — what a second person opens and runs

The form refuses to be finished quietly: section 4 lists the checks that were actually run, and section 7 makes you write down what the answer still doesn't settle.

PDFCould someone else reach this number without asking you anything?
