Hotel SLA Management and Escalation Tools

Never Let a Service Issue Go Unresolved

In hospitality, response time matters just as much as resolution. With Unifocus, service issues don’t just get logged — they get tracked, escalated, and closed within the service standards your property sets. 

Whether it’s a delayed room delivery or an urgent maintenance request, Unifocus tracks every second from issue to resolution, keeps teams accountable to SLAs, and escalates overdue tasks before they impact the guest experience. 

SLA Management and Escalations Tools

Set the Right Expectations for Every Type of Request

Configurable SLA Timers by Issue Type

Not every service issue requires the same urgency. With Unifocus, you can configure response and resolution targets by category, location, or guest level. 

SLA Options Include:

  • Time to acknowledge 
  • Time to resolve 
  • Varying SLAs by issue category (e.g., maintenance vs. F&B) 
  • Priority-based targets (e.g., VIP guests or urgent requests) 

Use Cases:

  • Respond to VIP guest complaints within 5 minutes 
  • Resolve HVAC requests in under 30 minutes 
  • Track progress on guest-requested amenities during events

Make Every Team Aware of What’s Coming Due

Real-Time Countdown Timers and Alerts

Unifocus keeps teams on task with live SLA timers, mobile push notifications, and color-coded urgency indicators. 

Features:

  • Visible countdowns on active tickets 
  • Mobile and desktop alerts as SLAs approach 
  • Auto-prioritization of tasks by SLA urgency 
  • Alerts grouped by team, shift, or property 

Impact:

  • No more forgotten tickets. Teams stay focused, and supervisors know exactly what’s at risk.

Push Unresolved Issues Up the Chain — Automatically

Automated Escalation Logic

When SLAs are missed or issues remain unacknowledged, Unifocus automatically routes them to the next level of responsibility. 

Escalation Triggers Include:

  • Missed acknowledgement window 
  • Resolution time exceeded 
  • Multiple touches without closure 
  • Assigned staff unavailable or off-shift 

Escalation Paths Can Include:

  • Department supervisor 
  • Assistant manager or MOD 
  • Property GM or regional ops 
  • Alternate department for rerouting

Track Team Performance at a Glance

Supervisor Dashboards and SLA Heatmaps

Supervisors have access to real-time views of issue status, SLA progress, and overdue tasks — with the ability to intervene immediately. 

Dashboard Views Include: 

  • SLA compliance rates by team, category, or shift 
  • Overdue and escalated issues 
  • In-progress task distribution 
  • Resolution pacing vs. property standards 

Why It Matters: 
Keeps leaders proactive, not reactive — especially across multiple teams or properties.
