What does VC mean in hotel rooms?

1. VC is the abbreviation of Vacant Clean, which means a clean room. The guest room has been cleaned and can be rented again.

2. VD is the abbreviation of English Vacant Dirty, which means empty and dirty room. This room is a dirty empty room that has not been cleaned. VC rooms are the rooms that front desk staff come into contact with the most, because when booking a room, the front desk needs to check the VC room status and then select a room in the VC room status to check in the guest. Under abnormal circumstances, the front desk can only check in VC rooms, and OOO and VD rooms cannot be opened.

3. OC is the abbreviation of Occupied Clean in English. It means that the guest’s room is clean and the guest room has been cleaned.

4. OD is the abbreviation of English Occupied Dirty, which means that the guest’s room is dirty and the guest room has not been cleaned.

Since the current hotel management methods originate from Europe and the United States, and the standards of star-rated hotels also originate from Europe and the United States, the habit of using English as codes in the management process has continued. For small and medium-sized hotels that have not received foreign guests for many years, it will be more convenient to use Chinese code names.

Extended information

OC rooms will appear in two situations: one is an empty room that has been cleaned by itself. After the guest checks in, the room status will automatically change to "clean room" , the second situation is that after the guest's dirty room (referred to as "dirty room") is cleaned by the room attendant, it will be changed to "clean room" through manual adjustment by the room supervisor.

The status of empty and dirty rooms is indispensable to the work of the housekeeping department. When the housekeeping department managers check the room status in the morning, the most important thing they look at is the empty and dirty rooms. Because they need to allocate room hygiene plans to employees, they need to print out the empty and dirty room reports in advance, and then allocate rooms to employees.

The sanitation of empty and dirty rooms is called check-out sanitation, while the sanitation of dirty rooms is called check-out sanitation. The cleaning procedures of the two are different, and the order is also different.

In addition to OOO (commonly known as "3O") rooms, the four room types VC, VD, OC, and OD have their own attributes, because they add up to four English words, namely: Vacant , Clean, Occupied and Dirty.
