Cintas Examines Impact of Onsite Uniform Room Solutions

Cintas Corp. has released a white paper examining the impact of onsite uniform room solutions on small, mid and large scale hotel properties.

In a release, the Company noted that the paper identifies potential issues hoteliers might experience with their current wardrobe room and how onsite solutions improve wardrobe room operations, enabling hoteliers to protect their uniform investment..

"All hoteliers understand the importance appearance plays in a guest's impression of the property," said Gretchen McIntyre, senior marketing manager of Cintas. "However, some hoteliers do not understand the significance that wardrobe rooms play in ensuring the integrity of their associates' appearance. Our research shows that onsite wardrobe room solutions not only improve the appearance of associates, but they also reduce costs and improve staff morale."

To conduct its research, Cintas said that it examined three different sized hotels, including the Hotel Monteleone, a 590-room boutique hotel in New Orleans' French Quarter, the Westin Kierland, a 735-room luxury resort in Scottsdale, Ariz., and the Marriott Orlando World Center, a 2,004-room hotel in Orlando, Fla. The research included a review of the hotels' operations prior to the implementation of an onsite wardrobe room and the results achieved after several years of using Cintas' onsite wardrobe room solutions.

Common issues identified in the white paper include improperly sized rooms, inconsistency in the appearance of garments, lack of inventory control and inadequate oversight.

"Many hoteliers often neglect to give any thought to their property's uniform room because it's a non-revenue generating space," added McIntyre. "By optimizing the efficiency of the room with proper management and resources, hotels can reduce their expenses while gaining a competitive edge."
