Day porter and event cleans
A person in the building while you're working.
A day porter keeps restrooms stocked, the lobby clear and spills handled between the nightly cleans. One porter can serve a floor or a whole building, on hours you choose. Event and one-time cleans use the same sheet.

Questions about a day porter.
Do we need a porter every day?
No. Some buildings have a porter two or three days a week, or only on a busy floor. The walkthrough sets the hours.
Can the porter cover a call-out?
Not on the nightly crew. If a night crew member is out, the supervisor covers the route and tells you.
What does an event clean include?
What the sheet for that event says: setup help, trash during, and floors, restrooms and the room afterward.
