Entrusting all of your laundry work to an outside specialist can be far more beneficial to your business than you may initially think. We explore the benefits of outsourcing laundry.
Whether you’re in the hospitality or food and beverage industry, operating a business in these sectors creates a significant amount of linen, towels and tablecloths which need to be cleaned and kept in immaculate condition daily. This is typically quite a time-consuming process which requires the employment of permanent staff who oversee and take care of ensuring that your tables are always dressed in clean tablecloths and that your rooms always feature crisp, clean bedding. Keeping this process running smoothly can be costly and demand several resources to operate, which is why outsourcing all of your dirty laundry to a professional service that collects, cleans and returns your linen and laundry on time and in pristine condition, can be an excellent investment in keeping your establishment operating seamlessly.
Here are just a few expense elements of doing your laundry internally, which you may not be aware of may not have taken into account:
- Labour & paying salaries to dedicated laundry staff
- Chemicals, cleaning materials, detergents required
- Water used for washing laundry
- Electricity used by washing machines, tumble dryers, and irons
- Physical space needed to host all the machinery as well as storage space for dirty and clean laundry
- Maintenance and repair costs to keep all your laundry appliances operating over the years
When taking all of the above into account, along with the administrative requirements to manage all of those aspects, it will soon become apparent that outsourcing your laundry will not only be more efficient but also a lot less expensive than running the operation internally.
Now let’s look at some of the benefits of outsourcing your laundry to a professional laundry service provider:
- You can budget far more accurately, as costs are set and can be safely included in an annual budget plan without the need for considering financial variables (this can be achieved by discussing a fixed-term contract with your service provider and establishing if and when there will be additional services needed)
- Consistent, high-standard results which you may not have with internal staff who may become lazy or fail to maintain the strictest standards when it comes to how laundry is handled
- You can focus on your areas of expertise with absolute reassurance that the laundry part of your business is taken care of, without needing your constant supervision or management.
