Outsourcing your
laundry |
The
hospitality industry in Dubai is growing rapidly and competition
is becoming more fierce – this is inevitable. There is an
increasing need to focus on one’s core business of selling
rooms and F&B i.e. both the customer-facing and “core”
revenue generating aspects of the industry.
Outsourcing of the non customer relevant laundry needs, which
include; Staff uniforms, Bed & bath
linen & Guest Laundry makes immediate
sense.

There
are many other sound economic reasons for outsourcing the laundry:
Human Resources:
- Sourcing
the right skill set for the industry is difficult &
risky

in technology makes it important for the company to constantly
invest on training employees

of linen management & training the life of a linen is
reduced

employees is a big challenge
