Overview

Introduction

A large beachside resort in Goa had everything guests needed for a comfortable stay. It had multiple accommodation blocks, restaurants, a spa, a pool bar, and separate teams managing housekeeping, maintenance, front office, and food and beverage services.

During peak season, the resort welcomed families, groups of friends, and guests attending weddings and other events. Every department had plenty of work to handle, and the staff were experienced in their roles.

However, communication between departments was becoming a daily challenge. Guest requests were written on paper, passed between teams, and sometimes misplaced along the way. As a result, tasks got delayed, and staff spent more time following up than completing their work.

Before vs after

The Problem

The resort's main challenge was slow operations caused by manual and disconnected workflows.

When Foodle+ reviewed its daily processes, it identified a few key issues:

Manual task management: Staff wrote guest requests on paper and physically passed them to the responsible departments, which often caused delays.
Separate department records: Housekeeping, maintenance, and front office maintained their own task lists, so teams did not always have updated information.
Delayed communication: A single guest request could pass through two or three employees before reaching the person responsible for handling it.
Limited task visibility: Managers could not see all pending and completed requests in one place, making follow-ups difficult.
No performance tracking: The resort had no central record to measure how long tasks took to complete or where delays happened.

Because of these issues, employees spent valuable time chasing updates, while guests had to wait longer for services.

The Solution

Automatic task routing: Guest requests were automatically sent to the correct department, so staff did not need to pass paper notes around.
Centralized task management: Housekeeping, maintenance, front office, and F&B teams could manage their requests through one shared system.
Live management dashboard: Managers could check pending, ongoing, and completed tasks without collecting updates from different departments.
Task status tracking: Each request could be followed from raised to in-progress and finally completed.
WhatsApp notifications: The responsible team received new task details through WhatsApp, helping employees respond without unnecessary delays.
Performance reports: Managers could review task completion times and identify where workflows needed improvement.

Foodle+ helped the resort connect its departments through a centralized task management system. Instead of managing requests separately, teams could receive, track, and update their tasks from one place.

The same team could now complete more tasks during each shift, reduce delays, and manage guest requests more efficiently without increasing staff or extending working hours.
