Late Checkout Request Form
A late checkout request form is the smallest useful form a hotel can have. Room number, what time, and an acknowledgement that it may carry a charge.
For restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels and hospitality teams.
A tiny form that stops a dozen calls to reception
Late checkout requests arrive by phone, in person and by knocking on the housekeeping manager's door - each one interrupting someone mid-task, and none of them recorded anywhere housekeeping can see.
Six fields and a QR code in the room turns that into a list the duty manager can approve in one pass. Asking for the departure time also lets housekeeping re-plan their round, which is the actual constraint rather than the room itself.
Fewer no-shows, fewer surprises
No-shows and "I thought I booked the other thing" both come from the same place: a booking nobody wrote down properly. When the guest types it themselves, there's a record, in their words, of exactly what was asked for.
Bookings and enquiries while the phone is unanswerable
Service is exactly when you can't take a call, and exactly when people decide where to eat. A form takes the request with the date, the covers and the dietary needs while your hands are full.
For private hire and functions it matters even more: those enquiries need a dozen details, and the guest would far rather type them than be quizzed.
Confirm in writing, immediately
The moment they submit, they see a confirmation and you get an email. No wondering whether it arrived - which is the thing that makes people phone you anyway.

Questions
Should late checkout be free?
Whatever your policy, put it on the form with the times and charges. Guests accept a charge they were told about and resent one applied silently at the desk.
Can this reach housekeeping directly?
Yes - notifications go to whichever addresses you choose, so the duty manager and the housekeeping lead can both be told the moment a request arrives.
Does this book the slot automatically?
No - it collects a request, and you confirm it. That's deliberate: real diaries have exceptions, and a form that promises a slot you can't honour costs more than one that asks.
Can I limit the options people can pick?
Yes. The service and time-of-day lists are yours to edit, so people can only choose from what you actually offer. You can also close the form when you're full.
Will I know straight away?
Yes, if you want to be. Turn on live notifications and every request is emailed to you the moment it arrives; otherwise collect them and read them in your dashboard.
Does this replace a booking system?
No - it collects requests you confirm, which suits private hire, functions and smaller rooms. If you need live table availability, keep your booking system and use forms for the enquiries it handles badly.
