Linen planning should account for turnaround, damage and peak turnover days. A property can run short even when the total number of items appears sufficient.
A practical approach
- Count usable sets by property.
- Record laundry lead times.
- Separate damaged items from stock available for guests.
An example to consider
Back-to-back arrivals leave little room for delayed laundry. Reserve stock should reflect the schedule rather than an assumed average week.
What to track
Monitor linen shortages, replacement cost and items taken out of service.
