Structuring a Service Desk for short-stay operations means guest requests, maintenance tickets, and internal staff requests all run through the same trackable, SLA-monitored process — instead of separate, informal channels for each type. In **Jestor**, this uses the same **Service Desk** structure applied to this specific vertical.

Short-stay operations generate several distinct request types — guest issues, maintenance, internal staff needs — that often end up handled through completely different, disconnected channels.

## What fragmented request handling costs

- Guest requests, maintenance tickets, and staff requests living in different tools
- No consolidated SLA view across all request types
- Manual routing to figure out which team should handle a given request
- No shared reporting spanning guest and internal operational issues

## How a unified Service Desk works

- All request types — guest, maintenance, internal — become cards in a structured process
- **SLA** tracking applies consistently across every request type
- Automated routing sends each request to the right team based on its category
- Dashboards give one consolidated view of all open requests, regardless of type

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- One structure replaces separate tools for guest, maintenance, and internal requests
- SLA tracking applies uniformly, supporting consistent service quality
- Automated routing removes manual triage of which team should respond
- Reporting spans the full operation, not siloed by request type

| Request type | Unified Service Desk handling           |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| Guest issue  | Routed to guest services, SLA-tracked   |
| Maintenance  | Routed to maintenance team, SLA-tracked |
