Planning tips for this checklist
Use expected counts as par levels
Set an expected count for each guest-facing item so cleaners and co-hosts can spot low stock without guessing. Keep replacement cost and owner notes beside the count when an item is expensive or hard to match.
Count by room and replacement risk
Inventory is easier when towels, linens, kitchenware, appliances, guest supplies, and safety items are counted by room. Mark expensive, guest-facing, and frequently missing items separately.
Separate low stock from damage
A low supply shelf is a restock problem; broken glasses, stained towels, missing remotes, and damaged cookware are replacement or guest-claim problems. Keep those notes separate before owner review.
Use photos for remote review
Hosts and co-hosts can review supply shelves, linen storage, kitchen drawers, and damage photos faster than long text notes. Add photo tasks when inventory is checked by cleaners.
