Option to Disable Mandatory Cleaner Check-in, Location Sharing, and Check-out Confirmations

Problem Statement:

• Cleaners are required to confirm arrival, share their location, and confirm departure when completing tasks in the Hospitable teammate app
• This feels unnecessary and insulting for hosts who have trusted, long-term cleaning partners
• Smart locks already provide arrival notifications, making location sharing redundant
• The mandatory confirmations create friction and annoyance for cleaners

Current Workaround:

• Hosts must continue requiring cleaners to complete all confirmations, even when they have full trust in their cleaning partner
• Smart locks are used as a supplementary way to verify arrivals

Impact:

• Creates unnecessary friction in the host-cleaner relationship
• Adds an annoying step for cleaners on every job
• Redundant with existing smart lock notifications

Proposed Solution:

• Add an option for hosts to disable mandatory check-in, location sharing, and check-out confirmations in the teammate app
• Allow hosts to choose which confirmations are required based on their trust level and setup

Unlock:

• Hosts with trusted cleaning partners can streamline the task completion process
• Reduces unnecessary friction while maintaining the ability to require confirmations when needed
