1 Hello Thank you for downloading this Changeover Bundle. Included in this bundle are 4 checklists: 1. Cleaning Checklist 2. Supplies to Replenish Checklist 3. Arrival Checklist 4. Final Touches Checklist This Changeover Bundle will take you from being filled with that sinking feeling at the thought of the time and effort you ll have to put into another changeover, to being super organised and in control. Following these checklists will take you:

2 All four checklists are a vital part of my changeover system and I couldn t manage without them. They help me to: - streamline - standardise - stay in control - plan ahead These checklists mean I don t have to put any thinking into what needs to be cleaned, checked, left out, purchased each time new guests arrive. I no longer have to carry lots of information in my head (which may well get forgotten) and I no longer have lots of hastily scribbled notes all over my desk, with prompts and reminders! These checklists are my prompts and reminders. After each changeover, if you re not involved, ask your housekeeper for a copy of these checklists. You can then keep track of any comments, understand what needs replenishing and note any problems encountered. As a business owner, you can than take necessary steps to rectify. Best of luck and please let me know how you get on. Karen
