What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have a Claude Project loaded with your property's room standards, SOPs, vendor contacts, and common scenario scripts. You (and any relief supervisor) can ask it questions and get instant, accurate answers — without hunting through a binder or calling you on your day off.
What you'll need
- A Claude account (claude.ai — free account works; Pro at $20/mo gives more space and faster responses)
- Time needed: 45-60 minutes to set up; 5 minutes per question after that
- Cost: Free (basic) / $20/mo (Pro)
- Your property's room standards, any written SOPs, and key contact info
