A document outlining the responsibilities, duties, and requirements for a housekeeping role within a lodging establishment. It typically details tasks such as cleaning guest rooms, replenishing supplies, maintaining common areas, and adhering to hygiene standards.

These specifications are crucial for ensuring consistent service quality and clear expectations.

Historically, these descriptions have evolved from basic task lists to comprehensive guidelines reflecting increased emphasis on hygiene, guest satisfaction, and operational efficiency.
