CEO MESSAGE
Dear Partner,
Thank you for joining the RedDoorz family. It is with great pleasure that I welcome you as part
of South-East Asia’s fastest growing hotel chain.
At RedDoorz, we take great pride in our commitment to our customers – to provide a high
quality stay at a reasonable price, every time.
To encourage our customers to return and stay with us time and again, we need to provide

would be impossible to fulfil this commitment consistently.
This document – the RedDoorz Operational Manual – is based on the best practices in
managing hotel properties. This manual contains systems and standard operating procedures
(SOP) that will ensure safety, reliability and efficiency in day-to-day operations, and enable
you to provide a consistent stay experience to our guests. I urge you to learn these processes
and adhere to them in every department, to achieve greater success as a RedDoorz property.
As part of the RedDoorz brand network, this can help you increase your property ratings and
profitability, while we manage distribution, pricing, sales & marketing, customer support and
technology for you.
Once again, on behalf of RedDoorz, I personally thank you for being such an amazing partner

● Almost as soon as you get a cut or scrape, your body begins
healing the injury. White blood cells attack infection-causing
bacteria. Platelets, red blood cells, and fibrin create a jelly-like

where it is.
