# How Do I Set Up a Service Desk for a Short-Stay Operation?

You set up a Service Desk for short stay by running guest requests and internal property issues as structured processes, each with its own SLA and routing. On **Jestor**, this combines standard **Service Desk** structure with property and guest-specific processes.

Short stay operations need two kinds of Service Desk at once, guest-facing and internal-property, and without structure, these two types of requests tend to blur together confusingly.

## What a generic Service Desk misses for short stay

- Guest requests and internal property issues mixed in the same queue
- No SLA differentiation between a guest complaint and an internal admin task
- Routing that does not reflect the actual property and team structure
- No connection between the ticket and the specific property or reservation

## How a short-stay-specific Service Desk works

- Guest requests and internal issues can run as separate, structured processes
- Each has its own **SLA** tracking, reflecting appropriate urgency
- Tickets connect directly to the relevant property or reservation record
- **AI Agents** can handle the repetitive layer of each type separately

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- The Service Desk structure adapts to short-stay specific needs, not a generic template
- Differentiated SLA reflects the real urgency of each request type
- The connection to the property record gives every ticket full context
- Scales from a few properties to a large portfolio without redesign

| Request type  | How the Service Desk structures it          |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| Guest request | Fast-response SLA, connected to reservation |
