Scheduling and Work Allocation
A well-structured rota ensures that staff know where to be and when. Best practices include:
- Use rota software (Deputy, Rotor, Google Calendar, or even Excel/Google Sheets).
- Group jobs by location to reduce travel time.
- Assign consistent clients to the same cleaners for trust and familiarity.
- Include buffer time between jobs to allow for transport and unforeseen delays.
Clear scheduling reduces no-shows, confusion, and client complaints.
