what would be the average number of minutes that each housekeeper should take to clean one guestroom?

Question

If the workload criterion for cleaning rooms in a lodging property is set at 15 rooms per 8-hour shift and each section housekeeper is allowed one half-hour for lunch, one 20 minute break per shift, and 30 minutes for cart setup, what would be the average number of minutes that each housekeeper should take to clean one guestroom?

Answer 1

Total shift:  8 hrs = 8(60) = 480 minutes

Time not cleaning = 30+30+20 minutes = 80 minutes

Time cleaning:  480-80 = 400 minutes

 

(400 mins)/(15 rooms) = 26 2/3 minutes per room
