Rooms & availability, Room management

Free, occupied, blocked or ready: every room shows exactly where it stands.

‘Is 204 ready yet?’, the answer is on the room, not on the phone.

Four practical jobs in daily hotel operations.

01

Head housekeeper’s morning round

Before 8 am she sees the day’s departures, dirty rooms and blocks and allocates the floors before the team starts.

02

New extension

Twelve rooms on two floors are created in one step under the right category for the new wing.

03

Heating broken in 115

The room gets a block with a reason and end date. Until then, the calendar, room selection and Booking Engine will not offer it.

04

List for the early shift

Every morning at 6 am the room list with guest, stay and notes arrives as a PDF in reception’s inbox.

Rooms and apartments in one system

Each category is either a room or an apartment. Hotel rooms work as they always have.

01

Rooms & beds

For apartments, you describe bedrooms, beds, bathrooms, kitchen and outdoor space. The booking page shows it to the guest.

02

Identical flats as one category

Three identical apartments are one category with three units. You maintain price and rules once.

03

Price and rules per unit

Price per unit and night, surcharge for each additional person, arrival and departure days, weekly and monthly discount.

Common questions: Room management

What is the STRYK room centre?+

It brings sellable categories, individual rooms, current occupancy, next arrival or departure, blocks and housekeeping state together in one operational view.

How are rooms organised in the overview?+

Every physical room sits directly under its category. Categories can be expanded or collapsed so a small property sees everything immediately while a larger one opens only the relevant inventory.

What is the difference between a category and a room?+

The category is the sellable product with capacity, copy, photos and pricing foundation. The room is the specific unit with number, floor, occupancy, block and operational state.

Which master data does an individual room have?+

Room number, floor and unambiguous category assignment form the operational foundation. Tags add characteristics the team needs for search, preparation or internal organisation.

How is a new room created?+

The team starts directly in the correct category, enters number and floor and saves the real unit. The category is already unambiguously selected, reducing accidental assignment.

Can STRYK create several rooms together?+

Yes. When building a category, prepared number and floor batches can be created together. This speeds up initial setup without continuing later with artificial demo rooms.

Can a room be edited later?+

Authorised employees change number, floor and category assignment in the room dialog. Before a structural change, the property should review existing and future bookings so the operational unit remains unambiguous.

What does a room card show about occupancy?+

It distinguishes free and occupied and shows the relevant booking-movement context. The team can see whether a room is currently occupied or which change comes next.

Are arrival, departure and stayover visible?+

Yes. The selected day controls the visible stay context. Arrival, departure and staying guest are therefore clear directly on the specific room row rather than in a separate side list.

Which housekeeping state does the room show?+

The room centre uses the same current state as the calendar and housekeeping plan. Dirty, in cleaning, ready or stayover service completed are not managed as parallel copies.

What is the difference between ready and stayover service completed?+

Ready means an empty cleaned room for the next check-in. Stayover service completed belongs to a room that remains occupied and whose daily service is finished.

What does “Housekeeping today” show?+

The summary counts rooms to clean, ready rooms and blocked rooms and leads into the digital daily plan. Management can see in the room overview whether open work threatens the next check-in.

Can a room be assigned to a housekeeper?+

In the housekeeping plan, a room is assigned to an active employee. The room centre shows that assignment; staff and active people are maintained exclusively in central settings.

How is a room taken out of sale?+

The availability action creates a real room block with period, reason and optional note. Calendar, room selection, matrix and Booking Engine then use the same state.

Do maintenance and renovation belong to housekeeping state?+

No. Anything that blocks availability is managed as a room or period block. Housekeeping describes cleaning and release, while defects, maintenance and renovation must also stop sale.

What are room tags used for?+

Tags mark internal characteristics such as quiet location, pet room or specific equipment. They can be created centrally, edited and assigned to the right rooms without reinventing the sellable category.

Can the team jump directly to the calendar?+

Yes. The calendar action opens the occupancy plan focused on the relevant room number. This avoids searching again when a movement or future booking needs review.

What does the room-list PDF contain?+

The property chooses the period and columns such as room, category, floor, status, prepared occupancy, capacity, booking, guest, stay, payment, source and notes. Preview and download show the same selection.

Can a room list be created automatically?+

Yes. The property defines time, time zone, period, columns and recipients. STRYK creates the list daily from this configuration and can deliver it to the stored recipients.

Who may change rooms and categories?+

Reading rooms and editing room master data are separate permissions. Availability, housekeeping and staff assignment also follow their own grants so read access does not permit sales or state changes.

What happens if saving or assignment fails?+

STRYK shows the error clearly. Room status or housekeeping assignment changes only after a successful save, so the team always works with the confirmed state.

Are room photos maintained on the individual room?+

No. Sales photos belong centrally to the room category because guests book the category product. The individual room holds operational details, avoiding contradictory image sets by room number.

Does room management cost extra?+

No. Rooms, categories, tags, blocks, housekeeping context and room lists are part of the single STRYK offer, with no setup fee and no hidden room module price. External delivery services may charge their own fees.

Could Room management work for your hotel?

14 days free. All STRYK core apps included. No setup fee; optional AI modules are separate.
