AI System for Converting Multilingual Hotel Shift Notes into a Shared Record

The problem

When multilingual shift notes, room information and open requests are held in different sources, staff must match fields manually before preparing a handover draft in a shared language.

The duty manager must compare every suggestion in the shared-language handover draft with the source record; incomplete or conflicting evidence must not replace the final decision.

If a local expression that cannot be translated word for word is not set aside for separate review, the meaning of the request could change; the record must not proceed without a human decision.

What we set out to improve

• Time taken for the shared-language handover draft, with its supporting evidence, to reach the duty manager for review
• Outcomes of records sent for human review because a local expression cannot be translated word for word
• Number of suggestions corrected after identifying a risk that the meaning of the request could change

How the system works

1. 01 Retrieve multilingual shift notes, room information and open requests from permitted sources
2. 02 Verify field and document versions
3. 03 Prepare the handover draft in a shared language with supporting evidence
4. 04 Check the exception: a local expression cannot be translated word for word
5. 05 Have the duty manager accept, correct or reject the suggestion
6. 06 Decision gate: handover record and task owner
7. 07 Record the decision and its source separately

Methods we used

• A source-identified data schema for multilingual shift notes, room information and open requests
• A structure that separates deterministic rules from AI suggestions
• A screen showing the shared-language handover draft alongside the supporting evidence
• A human review queue for local expressions that cannot be translated word for word
• A record identifier that prevents duplicate processing

Where people stay involved

Data and security

Only the necessary fields from multilingual shift notes, room information and open requests should be processed. Role-based access should be applied, and unnecessary identity, health, financial and internal organisational data should not be sent to the model. Source access, the AI suggestion and the duty manager's decision should be recorded separately.
