A Consultant’s Role In Building Your Laundry - Why They’re Needed

While many professionals agree that it’s important not to overlook the importance of having a consultant involved in the process of building a laundry, many hospital, hotel, nursing home and health club owners/operators engage in the process without a professional consultant. The theory is usually that the laundry manager or corporate management can adequately collect data or otherwise evaluate processes or systems in an effective manor and that they can therefore do it themselves working with contractors, an architect, engineer, and equipment suppliers.

Does It Pay To Outsource Your Laundry?

There comes a time in most facilities when the question of outsourcing laundry arises. The following guide will walk you through the areas you need to consider in order to make the most informed, educated decision for your facility.

Tunnel washers are becoming more prominent as smaller, less efficient plants are being consolidated and upgraded. Water and energy conservation and wastewater quality are a greater concern.

The ability to obtain payment on invoices in a timely manner is a constant source of concern for many laundries. Often, laundry proprietors are pre-occupied with the operational issues of their business while focusing on making sales and attracting new accounts. So it is not uncommon for a variety of "backroom" clerical tasks to be pushed aside, such as creating detailed, documented invoices, statements of account, making collections and monitoring the supply of cash flow.
