Suggested Due Time 

In a major enhancement to Optii Service, we now offer a suggested due time based on our machine learning model. By utilizing Wait Time with Duration, this feature and model calculate the overall Response Time. This initiative should substantially improve any property's operational efficiency, guest services and experiences.

In a major enhancement to Optii Service, we now offer a suggested due time based on our machine-learning solution.


  • Suggested Time Estimation: Utilizing machine learning, the feature calculates Wait Time and Duration to forecast the Response Time. This facilitates improved planning and timely execution of jobs, ensuring services are both initiated and completed within optimal timeframes.
  • Efficient Staff Allocation: With the ability to predict job response times accurately, management can allocate resources more effectively. This optimization leads to equitable workload distribution, enhancing staff efficiency and reducing instances of either overstaffing or understaffing during critical periods.
  • Enhanced Guest Satisfaction: Providing guests with precise service time estimates significantly improves their experience. Proactive communication about potential delays effectively manages guest expectations, mitigating dissatisfaction and enhancing the perception of service quality.
  • Reduced Manual Input: By automating the estimation of job response times, this feature reduces the need for manual calculations, minimizing errors. This automation allows staff to focus more on delivering exceptional service rather than administrative duties.
  • Organization Level Access: Once enabled at your property, any team member with the ability to add jobs, they’ll be able to see the suggested due time, on the “Add Job” Modal once selected an item and location.  The team member can then decide if they want to replace the target due time with the suggested time.

Optii Service Integration with Tapendium


We are excited to announce our new integration between Optii Service and Tapendium, designed to enhance guest experiences and optimize staff efficiency. With this integration, guests can easily request services from the convenience of Tapendium’s in-room tablets. This feature eliminates the need for guests to call the front desk, reducing wait times and increasing satisfaction. At the same time, staff members can receive job requests in Optii Service, update the job, and ensure that services are delivered promptly and effectively. This integration is a significant step forward in our mission to provide innovative solutions that improve property operations and enhance guest experiences.

Location Detail View - View Current Jobs


The Location Detail view now enables users to view a location's jobs in a single, easy-to-use interface. With this enhancement, users can quickly see all jobs for a location that are in 'Not Started', 'In Progress', or 'On Hold' status, plus all 'Done' jobs for today. 



This view provides valuable insights into which rooms have multiple requests, allows for trend analysis, and simplifies the coordination of work between team members or departments. By providing a clear picture of the status of jobs at a specific location, this feature helps users stay organized, streamline operations, and ultimately improve guest satisfaction.

  • Analyze Performance: Review service cycle, labor cost, and  track asset activity 
  • Informed  Decision: Compare the performance and service costs of different asset types, enabling you to make better decisions
