Why restaurants should invest in a linen tracking system
Restaurants, which form part of the hospitality industry, typically operate on a large scale. Restaurants go through multiple linen items including tablecloths, napkins, washcloths, placemats, aprons, chef apparel, and other types of linen.
Thus, restaurants typically require an adequate stock of linen items to maintain operational efficiency. Linen stock shortages can halt operations which can stall restaurant employees’ productivity. This downtime can also affect restaurants by reducing their ROI potential.
Linen managers and employees at restaurants juggle multiple responsibilities, which means they have little flexibility when it comes to counting linen inventory and sorting them out by size, type, colour, and location.
By investing in linen tracking technology, linen managers save a significant amount of energy and time that would have been spent doing tedious, repetitive, and labour-intensive linen counting tasks. Instead, they can focus on higher-value tasks, such as improving customer-oriented services.
It also ensures streamlined and seamless restaurant linen management operations that can increase customer satisfaction rates, thus increasing the chances of retaining and attracting new customers.
In return, restaurants can see a long-term positive return on their investment through improved workforce productivity and better cost-saving measures.
THE CHALLENGES FACED BY LINEN MANAGERS IN EXECUTING AN EFFICIENT LAUNDRY MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Linen managers play a pivotal role in ensuring that a streamlined laundry management process is executed from the sorting stage to the packing stage.
They shoulder the responsibility that there are minimal to no hiccups to the linen management process, such as the mismanagement or loss of linen equipment and equipment breakdowns, and that employee productivity remains high.
The expectation to juggle other duties on top of ensuring smooth and cost-efficient linen management can place undue stress on linen managers. Furthermore, keeping within the allocated budget when it comes to the linen management process adds to their work pressure.
By investing in an integrated laundry service management software, linen managers save a significant amount of time and cost, while providing linen rental employees with flexibility to focus on high-value, productive tasks such as ensuring excellent customer service.
This increases the chances of attracting new clients and retaining existing customers as well as boosting the business’s reputation as a leading linen management provider.
In return, linen rental businesses can see a positive return on their investment and continue to boost their profitability.
