Work out linen requirement instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Linen par levels are expressed as sets in circulation per room, typically three to four: one on the bed, one in the linen room, one in the laundry and a reserve. Lower par levels save capital but create shortages whenever the laundry cycle slips.
Total sets
Total sets = Rooms x Sets per room x Par level
Days of cover
Cover days = Total sets / (Rooms x Occupancy x Sets per change)
Three is workable with reliable on-site laundry, four is safer with an outsourced service, and five for properties with long laundry turnaround.
Because it forces rush laundry charges, shortens linen life through more frequent washing, and occasionally delays room readiness.
