Towel Inventory Procedure

Inventory of towels in a hotel with 100 or less rooms is easier than hotel with 250 or more rooms. It is necessary that a form is created for this purpose before proceeding to the inventory. The form should be in accordance to the hotels operational needs. Let"s say for example below is the form created for towel inventory:

Room Nos. 101 102 103 104 106 Sub-Total :Linen RM.: Laundry: Total
I Bath Sheet 2 2 2 2 2 (10) (5) (12) (27)
T Bath Towel 2 2 2 2 2 (10) (6) (7) (23)
E Hand towel 4 4 4 4 4 (20) (2) (21) (43)
M Face Towel 4 4 4 4 4 (20) (1) (10) (31)
S Bath Mat 1 1 1 1 1 (5) (15) (2) (22)
With the above results of inventory and with in-house laundry available, the hotel needs at least 3 1/2 pars. One par already in the rooms, second par is in the linen room for next day use and the third par will be in the laundry for washing. Half par will be for missing, discarded, stained etc. In this case we avoid the wear and tear of the towels with constant washing. Par stocking depends on how the hotel is operated, budget and quality wise.

In order to get the discrepancy for replacing the missing and discarded, the total will then be calculated for 3 1/2 par stock.

Bath sheet 10 x 3.5 = 35-27= 8 ( 8 bath sheet is required to complete the par stock )
Bath Towel 10 x 3.5 = 35 - 23 = 12 ( 12 bath towel is required to complete the par stock)
Hand Towel 20 x 3.5 = 70 - 43 = 27 (27 Hand Towels is required to complete the par stock)
Face Towels 20 x 4.5 =90 - 31 = 59 ( 59 Face Towels is required to complete the par stock)
Bath Mat 5 x 3.5 = 17.5 - 22 = ( 5 Bath Mat is above the par stock)
Take note that the Face towel s par stocking is more than the other types of towels.
