Work out housekeeping minutes per room instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Housekeeping productivity is measured in minutes per room, but the fair target depends on the departure mix, because a departure clean takes roughly a third longer than a stayover service. Adjusting the target for the day's mix is what makes the variance a genuine performance measure rather than a reflection of the arrivals pattern.
Minutes per room
Minutes per room = Housekeeping hours x 60 / Rooms cleaned
Mix-adjusted target
Adjusted target = Target minutes x (1 + Departure share x 35%)
Rooms per shift
Rooms per shift = 450 productive minutes / Minutes per room
Around 25-30 minutes for a stayover and 35-45 for a departure in a mid-scale hotel, longer in luxury properties with turndown service.
Because departure cleans take substantially longer. A day with a high departure share needs more hours for the same room count.
