Starting point
What the business actually needs to solve
Hotel linen works reliably when occupancy, textile types and return times are considered together.
The number of rooms alone is not enough for reliable planning. A business should also record how often bed linen and terry items are changed, how long textiles are away from site and which reserve is needed for weekends or group stays. Different room categories may require separate sizes or quality levels.
Planning
Prepare the details in a structured way
For the inquiry, bed linen, sheets, pillowcases, towels and bathrobes are recorded as separate items. This shows where daily consumption is high and which items are replaced less often. Seasonal peaks also belong in the plan: a fully booked holiday weekend creates different requirements from a quiet shoulder season.
Decision
What is reviewed before a quote
A sensible reserve does not prevent every short-notice change, but it creates room to act. Based on the reported quantities, Sunshine Laundry can review whether a recurring service, a test run or an initial stock analysis makes sense. Prices and fixed delivery commitments are only created after personal review.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about this topic
How much reserve does a hotel need?
This depends on occupancy, changeover rhythm and return time. A calculation per textile group is more reliable than one general factor.
Should terry items be planned separately?
Yes. Towels and bath towels often have a different consumption pattern from bed linen and should be recorded separately.
Is the inquiry binding?
No. It forms the basis for review, follow-up questions and a later quote.
