Hello everyone! Today, I would like to share with you how hotel owners review the list of laundry facilities and equipment in FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment). In the pre-development phase of a hotel, hotel owners need to consider whether to plan a laundry room based on the hotel's positioning and size, so that hotel guests, linen and staff can be washed**.
Hotel linen usually includes bed sheets, pillowcases, towels, bath towels, face towels, carpets, floor towels, dining tablecloths, etc. Hotel laundry equipment usually includes automatic high-speed washing machines, ironing machines, dryers, clothes turners and other equipment. If hotel guests have dry cleaning needs, they need to configure equipment such as dry cleaning machines. The equipment configuration model should be selected according to the size of the hotel and the operational needs of the corresponding model. For the hotel laundry, as a hotel owner, how to review the list of hotel laundry facilities and equipment, there are the following suggestions:
1. Determine the functions and equipment of the laundry room according to the positioning of the hotel and the number of rooms.
If the hotel is not large in scale and the number of rooms is small, the hotel laundry room does not need to plan too large an area, and can only consider the emergency laundry situation of the guests, and only configure a small number of laundry room equipment, and the guest clothes and linen are outsourced for washing. If each hotel employee is equipped with three sets**, then the staff** can also outsource the washing. (It also needs to be considered according to the needs of the hotel operations team).
2. Dry cleaning equipment can also be cancelled according to the situation.
Most of the laundry room equipment is related to washing. If it is like Sanya most of the hot weather, the hotel needs less dry cleaning clothes, in this case, you can consider not setting up dry cleaning equipment, if there are guests who need to dry clean occasionally, guest clothes can be sent to the laundry for dry cleaning.
Third, the coding machine can be considered to cancel.
Imported coding machines are more expensive, about tens of thousands of yuan, and you can consider not purchasing. As a small laundry room that only meets the needs of washing guest clothes, it may cause a large waste of imported facilities with tens of thousands of imported facilities. On the one hand, most hotels do not use coding machines (special laundry labels, printing guest room numbers) for numbering (improper operation of the coding machine will cause instantaneous high temperature burns of clothes), and the general hotel laundry room can be completed by using numbering paper, therefore, you can consider canceling the coding machine. Some hotels purchase coding machines, but in the process of operation, the hotel team rarely uses them, which also causes waste.
Fourth, dryers and dehydrators can be considered not to use imported brands.
At this stage, some domestic washing equipment brands are of good quality, and the maintenance is convenient and cheap, and foreign equipment maintenance and accessories are expensive, and it takes a long time to procure, which affects work efficiency.
5. Imported eyewash equipment can also be considered for cancellation.
If the hotel laundry room is not equipped with large-scale washing equipment, the general washing raw materials to the operator caused by the possibility of corrosion is small, unless the illegal operation, the configuration of the sink faucet should be able to prevent it, if the installation of tens of thousands of yuan of eyewash equipment is not necessary, it can also be canceled according to the situation.
Sixth, the imported transfer machine in the room is high, has few points, occupies space, and is not practical. You can also consider domestic brands with more procurement points.
In short, the planning and design of the hotel laundry room and the selection of equipment can be implemented according to the operational needs of the hotel team, but at the same time, it is also necessary to consider the cost and practicability of the laundry room equipment, and control the target cost of the hotel project as much as possible.
