Laundry for mini-hotels: specifics, equipment, prospects

Mini-hotels and small format hotels are in serious competition with large network businesses. One of the important elements of their infrastructure is the laundry. Let's look at what is needed to open a laundry for a mini-hotel, what are the features of this business and its potential.

The specifics of laundry facilities in mini-hotels

• Limited space. Mini-hotels, by definition, have small areas.
• High intensity of use. Hotel textiles need constant replacement and washing.
• Seasonality and peak load. Depending on the season and workload, the laundry for the mini-hotel experiences sharp fluctuations in the amount of work, which imposes additional requirements on the equipment.

What kind of equipment is needed to open a laundry room

The main list includes:

• washing machines — it is better to give preference to models with front-loading and detergent dosage function.;
• drying machines — vertical dryers take up less space and are suitable for small laundries.;
• ironing presses — significantly speed up the ironing process and ensure perfect textile condition.;
• steam generators — allow you to remove complex impurities and disinfect;
• racks and trolleys are necessary for storing and transporting laundry.

In addition to the basic equipment, you will need detergents, conditioners, bleaches and other household and professional chemicals.

It is highly desirable to develop a laundry schedule, as well as establish a system for accounting and monitoring the condition of laundry.

Opportunities and advantages

Laundry for a mini-hotel has significant potential as an independent business and as an additional source of income for the hotel itself.

• Opening a laundry within a mini-hotel can become a separate business serving not only its own hotel, but also neighboring service facilities and private clients.
• Cleanliness and freshness of linen is an important component of comfort for guests. Having its own laundry allows the hotel to set a high standard of service quality.
• As demand grows and the number of customers increases, it is possible to gradually modernize and expand the business by increasing productivity and the range of services.
