/ BEELINE
Beeline
The property has one working list.
Every need a guest raises at this property — heard once by whoever they told, owned by a department and a role, carrying a promise with a time on it, and not finished until somebody goes back and tells the guest. It is not a property-management system and not a general-purpose project-management tool: it is the record of what a guest asked this property for and what the property did about it, built around stays, rooms, departments, roles, promises and the handoffs between them. An injury, an illness, missing or damaged property, or a guest saying the hotel is responsible goes to the property’s own incident process, and Beeline keeps none of it.
One screen, while the guest is standing there.
Anyone at the property can take a need: what was asked for, the stay it belongs to, who meets it, and what the guest was told. The Claim Fork is answered by the person, not guessed from the text — and yes takes it out of Beeline and into your incident process.

Did the guest report an injury, an illness, missing or damaged property, or say the hotel is responsible?
No
A person answers this. Nothing reads what was typed to propose an answer.
The screen a supervisor keeps open.
Ranked by what is wrong with it, not by when it arrived. Work that is done but unreported sits at the top, then promises past their time, then needs nobody has taken. The count of times a guest asked again is the measure of how the evening is going.
The working list
Work done, guest not told. A need is not finished until the guest hears it.

Every handoff, on one record.
Heard, retold, owned, promised, resolved — and the last step, the one most systems have no field for: somebody went back and told the guest. Until that happens the need is not finished, and Beeline will not let it off the list.
