FOR HOTELS

Every room ready. Every department in sync.

Sideworks is hotel operations software for boutique and independent properties — housekeeping, maintenance, F&B, and front-of-house in one app. Room-readiness checklists with photo proof, preventive maintenance for rooms and facilities, QR-code guest feedback, and shift handoffs that keep departments aligned. It complements your PMS by running the daily operational work it was never built for.

The reality

A guest's stay is only as good as the handoff.

Hotels run across departments and around the clock — housekeeping, maintenance, front desk, F&B. A dropped task or a missed handoff shows up directly in the guest experience and the next review. Consistency across shifts is the whole game.

Common questions

Hotel operations, answered.

What does Sideworks do for hotels?

Sideworks runs the operational side of a hotel in one app: housekeeping and room-readiness checklists with photo proof, preventive maintenance for rooms, HVAC, and facilities, guest feedback by QR code, F&B and back-of-house checklists, shift notes and handoffs between departments, and a document library for SOPs.

Is this a property management system (PMS)?

No. Sideworks is not a PMS or booking engine — it does not handle reservations, rates, or folios. It handles the daily operations work: housekeeping, maintenance, checklists, feedback, and handoffs. It complements your PMS rather than replacing it.

How does housekeeping use it?

Build room-readiness and cleaning checklists with required photos, assign them, and share by public link so housekeeping staff and outside cleaning crews can complete tasks with proof — no account or extra seat required.

Can it track maintenance for rooms and facilities?

Yes. Preventive maintenance schedules cover HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general upkeep with auto-calculated due dates and overdue alerts. Work orders track one-off repairs through open, in-progress, and completed, and a vendor directory keeps your service providers organized.

What size hotel is it for?

Boutique and independent hotels and small groups. Sideworks is built for operators who want one straightforward tool for daily operations, not a heavyweight enterprise platform.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The free tier includes digital checklists and one location with no credit card. Paid plans add scheduling, surveys, events, and multi-property support.
