Tasks and projects: plan, assign and finish work

How to create a task in one line, who sees which task, and how tasks connect to bookings, rooms, guests and invoices.

What you can do safely afterwards
  • You create and finish tasks in seconds.
  • Everyone sees what is due today and who is responsible.
  • Tasks stay linked to the booking, room, guest or invoice they belong to.
What you need before starting
  • Team members have a STRYK account and belong to a department.
  • You need task access. Seeing all tasks of the hotel or of a department requires the matching lead permission.

Create a task in one line

Type the title in the line above the list and press “Enter”. The task is assigned to you and saved. Use “Due” for a date or “Open details” for assignee, checklist and more.

Mine: one-line entry, groups by due date, status, assignee and priority in each row.

What a task can carry

What a task can carry

  • “Due” as a date or with a time, in the hotel time zone
  • “Assignee” or a department, plus an optional reviewer
  • “Priority” and a “Checklist”; open checklist items keep the task open
  • “Frequency”: daily, weekly or monthly; STRYK creates the next task automatically
  • Comments as a chat on the task, and attachments
04

List, board and calendar

Switch the display at the top right. “List” groups by due date, status, person or department. “Board” shows one column per status; drag a card to change it. “Calendar” shows the week or month; drag a task to another day to move its due date.

Board: drag a card to the next status.
05

Open a booking, guest, room, invoice or housekeeping order and choose “Add task”. The task is linked automatically, and the record lists its open tasks. In the task, the link opens the record again.

Ask housekeeping for a baby cot

  1. 01
    Open the booking

    Open the booking and find “Tasks” in the detail panel.

    You see the open tasks of this booking.
  2. 02
    Add the task

    Choose “Add task”, enter “Baby cot in room 204”, select the Housekeeping department and the arrival day.

    The booking shows the new task.
  3. 03
    Finish it

    Housekeeping ticks the task in “Mine” when the cot is in the room.

    The task disappears from the open tasks of the booking.
06

Notifications without noise

STRYK notifies only on assignment, review request, reminder and escalation. Other changes stay in the task history. You set your own notifications under Settings → Team.

Final review

Your team sees in one place what is due, who does it and which booking or room it belongs to.

  1. 01Every open task has an assignee or a department.
  2. 02Overdue in All shows no forgotten tasks.
  3. 03Guest-related work is linked to the booking or guest.

Common mistakes and the right solution

Problem

A task is missing in Mine.

Solution

It is assigned to someone else or to a department. Look in All or filter by department.

Problem

A task cannot be finished.

Solution

Tick the open checklist items and subtasks first, or send it to review if it has a reviewer.
