You are the Executive Housekeeper for a new 285-room hotel in British Columbia. Please answer the following questions:

1. A reputable contractor has quoted $110,000 to perform overnight cleaning. The cleaning requires two employees each night. The hotel pays $15 per hour for overnight cleaning. Do you outsource or hire staff for night cleaning?

2. An outside laundry charges $0.38 per pound for guest room linens. Your hotel has an occupancy of 75%, an average stay of 2.1 nights, and an average of eight pounds of linen per check out.

To run the laundry operation, the hotel would need to purchase equipment for $175,000. The operation would require, on average, four employees at $15 per hour.

Less labour, and no staff that will work. No need to buy equipment,less labor cost..for the employess I can put them in other sector

Do you prefer the in-house laundry or the outsource contractor?
