Cleaning/maintenance schedule automation

Purpose

1. Automate scheduling, assignment, reminders, completion tracking, and logging of all cleaning and maintenance tasks/gaps in Scandinavian restaurants.

Trigger Conditions

1. Manual: Manager or staff initiates the cleaning/maintenance schedule workflow via dashboard or app.
