Two-step sign-in (optional): Team → Your sign-in

Assign a cleaner
- Pick the cleaner from the turnover's list.
- Choose Save. They get it on Telegram (room, times, checklist; never guest details).
Check the work: on a Ready turnover, open Show photos before the next guest arrives.
Keep a photo (for a damage claim, say): photos are deleted 30 days after the cleaner sends them, and the date shows under them. Today shows turnovers for two days; after that, open the stay from Calendar: Cleaning after the stay has the photos. Open Show photos and choose Download under the photo. Each download is recorded with your name.
- With one cleaner, every turnover goes to them.
- Turnovers move or vanish when bookings move or cancel.
Spending
Record every payment right after paying:
- Photo of the bill: take or choose a photo.
- Enter Amount (with GST) and Of which GST if shown.
- Choose What for (repair, maintenance, consumables, utilities, society, replacement, improvement, purchase, other).
- Choose Property. Change Paid on for an older bill (up to a year back). Add Paid and Note if useful.
- Choose Save payment.
- Paid → pick a month to see payments and the total.
- Remove deletes a mistake (a record is kept).
The owner sees payments and bill photos. Photograph only the bill.
Maintenance
Tabs: Jobs, Schedules, Assets, Stock, Contracts.

- Out of use / Back in use.
- Remove: delete a mistake.
Tick Show ones out of use to see retired assets.
Stock
Consumables (toiletries, linen, cleaning supplies, tea). Each property draws from one store; an admin sets which.
Set up a store
- Add from the usual kit → untick what it doesn't keep → Add ticked items.
- Or Add an item: name, Used each turnover, Low at.
- Count each item so the store shows what's on hand.
Open an item to
Record a purchase: bill photo, how many, amount, GST, date, paid to. Goes to Spending.
Record a count: set the number you counted.
Move to another store: the only way stock moves between stores. You can move at most what the store has.
History / Change item / Remove.
Each turnover marked ready subtracts its usage automatically.
Low or Reported low shows when it's time to buy. Cleaners count on Telegram too (how).
Contracts
Society fees and service contracts. Managers add them; you record payments and visits.
Pay a contract
- Open the contract → Payments → Add a payment.

Team
Tabs: Cleaners, Cleaning checklists, Your sign-in (two-step sign-in, and AI agent access if your company has it).
Cleaners
- Cleaners → add name and phone (with country code, e.g.
+919876543210). - Send the invite link on WhatsApp with the cleaner's guide. It works once, for 7 days.
- When they tap Start, they show Connected to Telegram.
- New phone? New invite link (old one stops).
- Remove takes them off open turnovers; reassign on Today.
- No Telegram at your company? Tell cleaners their jobs from Today.
Cleaning checklists
- Cleaning checklists → choose a property.
- One item per line.
- Choose Save checklist.
Changes apply from the next booking.
AI agent access
If HostStackHQ has switched it on for your company, Team → Your sign-in has AI agent access: connect Claude, ChatGPT or another agent that supports MCP, and ask it about your bookings, cleaning, occupancy and spending.
- Type a name for the agent (e.g. Claude on my laptop) → Make a token.
- Copy the token. It is shown only once.
- In the agent's settings, add an MCP server with the Server address shown on the page, and send the token as
Authorization: Bearer <token>.
- It acts as you: your role, and only the properties you work at.
- It can read cleaning tasks, cleaners and spending, and give a cleaning task to a cleaner or record an expense. Agents ask you before they change anything; those changes show as made by you, through an agent.
- It never gets guests' phone numbers, emails, IDs, door codes or WiFi passwords.
- Revoke stops a token at once. Removing a person, or resetting their access, deletes all of theirs: adding them back doesn't bring them back.
- An agent can make about 5 requests a second; beyond that it is told to wait (429).
