Slow shifts don’t mean wasted time. MOP helps your hotel turn downtime into revenue-building strategy.

  • Assign detailed cleaning tasks by area
  • Standardize processes for consistency
  • Monitor completion in real time

Keeping your PMS promotions up to date ensures your team can sell smarter when occupancy picks up, and your offers stay relevant to changing traveler behavior.
