So, is linen hire suitable for your hospitality business? It really comes down to your year round levels of activity. If your business is really seasonal with a long low season then linen hire could be an expensive choice; In this case you would probably be better buying the linen and negotiating a really keen price for laundry only. Remember, the laundry company will not have an investment in linen so a 'laundry-only' price should be lower than for a linen hire service. If your business will meet the minimum use criteria most months then linen hire is a great way forward if approached properly. Often you will find smaller independent linen hire businesses will offer a more flexible service and deliver hirer quality because their processes are less automated. Read the terms and conditions for the service carefully to make sure there are no hidden charges. Discuss with the firm how they operate and understand what level of linen and delivery frequency you can expect. Remember the more linen you take on the higher the minimum usage level will be. Also understand how reliable the deliver window will be. You should also find out from the company whether you will be required to count and record the dirty linen you are returning to them. For smaller hotels this is a good stock keeping practise as proof of how many items have been dispatched is recorded, although it is likely to be impractical for larger hotels. In summary, providing you are a busy hotel and follow the above steps when setting up the laundry service , linen hire can take a great deal of hassle out of a hotels daily laundry operation .
