Automating communication between cleaning and front desk means a property's status — cleaned and ready, still in progress, flagged for an issue — updates automatically and is visible to both teams, instead of a phone call or message required for every single handoff. In **Jestor**, this uses the same shared task and Kanban structure connecting different teams.

The handoff between cleaning finishing and front desk confirming a property is guest-ready is one of the most time-sensitive coordination points in short-stay operations — and one of the easiest to structure well.

## What manual cleaning-to-front-desk handoffs cost

- A phone call or message required for every single property status update
- Front desk unsure whether a property is actually ready without checking manually
- No shared record of when cleaning actually finished for a given turnover
- Delays in guest check-in caused by unclear property-ready status

## How automated handoff communication works

- Cleaning staff marking a task complete automatically updates the property's status
- Front desk sees real-time status on a shared **Kanban** board, no phone call needed
- Automations can notify front desk the moment a property becomes ready
- If an issue is flagged during cleaning, it connects directly to the property's record

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Status updates automatically, removing the need for manual handoff communication
- Both teams work from the same shared, real-time view
- Notifications reach the right team automatically as status changes
- Reduces the coordination delay between cleaning completion and guest check-in

| Manual handoff                 | Automated status handoff                            |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Phone call or message required | Status updates automatically, visible to both teams |
