The document discusses the planning work of the housekeeping department in hotels. It describes how each morning the staff is briefed about occupancy levels, guest arrivals and departures, VIPs, and special requests. The housekeeping day book is then filled out and staff are given room keys. The general room attendants physically check each room and record the status - occupied, vacant, check-out etc. - and the number of guests in a room. These room status reports are compiled into an overall housekeeping room status report that is submitted to the control desk usually in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
