Supply restock list

When to use

Use the restock list at the end of turnover, after you can see what the last stay consumed. {soap_par} is a number and a place: “one full hand soap at the kitchen sink and one in the bath, plus a spare under the sink.” {paper_par} might be “four rolls of toilet paper visible, eight in the closet.” {coffee_par} should match what you told guests exists. If the listing promises coffee, {coffee_par} is not optional. If the listing is silent, still decide what you stock and write it, so the cleaner does not freelance a different brand every week. {bag_par} is bags that fit {property_name}’s cans, plus one sponge that is not falling apart.

The shop note at the bottom is a line for “buy pods,” not a journal. Tick a box when the count is met. Leave it open when it is not, and copy the gap into the shop note. A ticked box with an empty bottle is a lie the next guest discovers in the shower.

{property_name} keeps a studio’s tiny {paper_par} from being applied to a four-bath house.

Timing tip

Restock before the pre-arrival inspection, so the inspection is not the moment you discover there is no soap. If you shop once a week for several homes, the open boxes from each sheet become the shopping list. Do not trust memory across four turnovers.

Change {coffee_par} when you change what the welcome letter promises. “Coffee is in the jar” on the letter and an empty jar because {coffee_par} says “optional” is a preventable message. Align them.

Seasonal items, such as ice melt or a fan, can sit in the shop note for the month you need them. Do not add a permanent checkbox you will ignore in July. Ignored boxes train people to skip the real ones, like {paper_par}.

Common mistakes

Overstocking is the first one. The template says replace up to the number, not past it. A closet packed with paper looks generous until it is a closet you cannot use, and liquids stored for a year get sticky. {soap_par} is the working amount. More than that belongs in your storage, not under a damp sink.

The second is a brand lecture. If the brand matters because the dispenser only fits one refill, say the refill name inside {soap_par}. If any dish soap will do, do not specify a boutique label the cleaner cannot find after 9pm. The list is for a hurried shop.

The third is restocking amenities you do not list and do not want to maintain. Starter condiments are how you inherit crusty mustard. The checkbox about salt, pepper, and oil is conditional on the listing. Leave it unticked and strike it if the kitchen is “cookware only.” Do not half-stock a pantry and then apologize in the thread.

Batteries and the lock

The battery line is here because a dead lock is an arrival failure, not a shopping inconvenience. If {property_name} uses a smart lock or a remote, the spare batteries are a restock item with a count: “two sets in the host drawer.” The cleaner should tell you when the spare is down to the last set, using the shop note. They should not wait for the pre-arrival walk to be the first time anyone notices.

This page does not authorize anyone to buy with your money beyond the amounts you wrote. If someone else shops, the agreement or your note to them should say how they are repaid. The list itself is just the count. It is not legal advice and it is not a budget.
