Hosting individuals and groups in Kanthaus is a core task for all Volunteers and Members. To enable all to give a consistent hosting experience to Visitors and groups, this hosting checklist collects important points.

Group Hosting Checklist

Clarify the basics

  • communicate and find out the following:
    • what is it that they are doing?
    • how many people are coming?
    • when will they arrive (earliest) and leave (latest)?
    • which room(s) will they be using for day-time activities?
    • which room(s) will they be using for sleeping?
    • (when) will they participate in dinner preparation?
    • will they bring food or help us recover it?
  • communicate to KH residents about the group coming
    • make a Mattermost post in ~kanthaus and/or a CoMe point
    • put it in the nextcloud calendar in the following format: Group name (n ppl) [host]

Before they arrive

  • reserve the room(s)
  • keep KH residents posted about changes in group size, arrival time, room usage and/or duration of stay
  • check the room(s) you offered them for usability, cleanliness and clean them if necessary

Upon arrival

  • be there to open the door and welcome them :)
  • show them where they can leave their stuff
  • show them the room(s) they will be using
  • invite them to use the rest of the house as well
  • give them a key/tag and/or teach them the door code

During

  • give a house tour if wanted
  • regularly check in with them to make sure everything is fine
  • be available for questions
  • make them aware of the guest book and invite them to leave an entry

After

  • check the room(s) and leave them in a usable state
  • check privatizable storage areas and clear names if necessary
