Behind the Scenes with Liz

Liz is an Assistant Housekeeping Manager at the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Nashville. She’s been using Quore since 2014. We talked with Liz about how she coordinates housekeeping throughout the day, from changing room statuses to keeping her team informed.

How Liz Uses Quore in Her Daily Work

Quore: So tell me, how do you use Quore with your work?

Liz: In Quore, we have checkouts and stayovers, and then, as those change throughout the day, whether it’s a stayover becoming a checkout, or a checkout becoming a stayover, if a room is requesting service at a certain time, late checkout, etc., all of that is put on the board. Then, there are certain requests that a houseman would rspond to like service requests, and then things like early checkouts and stayovers are things that I would do. Then I’d notify the housekeeper and tell them what on their board has changed.

Quore: How does Quore make your job easier?

Liz: I actually worked at a prior property, and we didn’t utilize Quore as much; we used walkie-talkies. By using those, there isn’t a sense of accountability, it’s easy to not write something down. With Quore, it’s like having a paper trail, so there’s more documentation. Also, I can start and complete an activity all through Quore, which is helpful for tracking.

Quore: What do you think is the biggest benefit to having Quore for anyone in a housekeeping role?

Liz: Having that paper trail, is a big benefit. It gives everyone the ability to keep track of everything so nothing slips between the cracks. Also, being able to start and end a task in Quore so the front desk has a timeline of when that room is going to be ready. We aren’t rushed; we don’t have people radioing us constantly. It’s also a bit more secretive; with radios, guests can hear everything you’re saying. When you’re standing at the front desk, and the guest is rushing you or is upset, those are things you can’t communicate over a radio. With Quore, I feel that it’s a bit classier and more secure.

Quore: How do you think it factors into guest satisfaction?

Liz: It helps get things done a lot faster. If someone radios me and asks me to do something, I don’t have that timeline of when the request was made and how long it has been. With Quore, we try to make sure all requests that come in are done within 15-30 minutes depending on the type of request so they get done in a timely manner and guests are satisfied.

Before Quore, Liz remembers the difficulties of communication and having to rely on radios and paper messages. Today, she uses Quore to track requests, document work, and keep housekeeping and the front desk informed. That visibility helps her team coordinate room readiness and respond to guest needs.

The Challenge

Staff missing important guest complaints.

General Manager Thom Druffel and the staff at Holiday Inn Nashville-Vanderbilt were utilizing a popular hospitality technology solution to handle internal operations, but they weren’t particularly happy with its inability to easily share important information between departments and its lack of immediacy in reporting guest complaints. These issues resulted in valuable data getting lost in between departments and a lag time in the staff’s ability to respond to guest complaints.

The Solution

Used Quore to create accountability and quick notices.

During a Holiday Inn regional conference, Druffel heard about Quore’s capabilities from several of his peers, which convinced him to make the switch for his teams. “What we got from Quore is an incredibly user-friendly solution that tackled the key issues right away,” said Druffel. “The longer we use it, the more we’re able to accomplish.”

Quore immediately allowed Druffel and Guest Services Manager Logan A. Smith to more accurately identify property- and department- specific data trends and respond to guest complaints before the guest checked out.
