/ BEELINE
The property has one working list.
Every need a guest raises at this property, from a slow-draining sink to a late-night request for extra towels — heard once, owned by a department, promised with a time, and not finished until somebody goes back and tells the guest.
For people at a property that already runs Beeline. Signing in does not add it — your property either has it or does not, and the screen will say which.
A guest should only have to ask once.
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.

The guest asked twice more. Counted against the same need, not started again.
Ownership9:55 PM
Housekeeping supervisor
A role took the need. Until then it read "nobody owns this yet".
Promises9:56 PM
Housekeeping supervisor
Pillows delivered, by 10:00 PM. What, by when, and whose — or it is not a promise.
Resolution10:02 PM
Housekeeper
Pillows delivered. The work is done and the need is not finished.
The guest was toldnot yet
Nobody has been back. The need stays open and stays first on the list until somebody does.
The Ambrose, Tuesday evening. A made-up property on a made-up night. No guest, no customer and no real record appears on this page.
The interface is Alveary's. The property, people and records are fictional.
Hear it once.
Anyone at the property can take a need in one screen while the guest is still standing there. It does not wait for a supervisor, and the second time a guest asks is counted rather than started over.
Give it an owner.
A need carries a role that owns it and a promise with a time on it. Not a queue somebody is meant to watch — a name for the work and an hour it was said to be done by.
Close the loop.
The work being finished is not the need being finished. Beeline holds a need open, and first on the list, until somebody goes back and tells the guest.
The guest asks three people.
The pillows were asked for at the desk at 9:42, again on the way past the bell stand, and once more by phone at ten. Three people heard it, two of them wrote it somewhere, and the guest has now told a hotel three times that they cannot sleep. Nobody did anything wrong. There was no one place the need lived.
One need, one record, one owner.
It is heard once and everything after attaches to it: the second and third time it was said, the role that took it, the promise with a time on it, whether the work was done, and whether anyone went back. A need does not leave the working list because it was finished. It leaves because the guest was told.
What a supervisor can see at 10pm.
Which needs have nobody, which promises are past their hour, and which ones are quietly done with a guest still waiting to hear it. Beeline keeps no score of any person: the measures are by cause, role, department and period, and never by who.
For a property
Beeline runs today at properties that have it. It is not part of any plan on this site, and there is nothing here to buy — this is the product itself, shown with a property we made up.
/ HOW TO GET IT
Available through a direct property deployment. It is not included in Membership, Pro or Company Vault.
What Beeline is not
Beeline is not an incident record. An injury, an illness, missing or damaged property, or a guest saying the hotel is responsible goes to your property’s own incident process — Beeline asks, routes it there and keeps none of it. It is not a property-management system, not a general-purpose project-management tool, and not advice about anything: 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.
What it holds about a guest
A need carries the property’s own reference for the stay — a folio or reservation number — and never who the guest is. An email, a phone number, a card number or a government identifier is refused at the field. People are described by role. Running Beeline requires a signed data processing addendum, accepted by an owner of the organization.
