Hotels, resorts, and other vacation rentals are preparing now for the coming summer vacation season. Part of getting ready means stocking up on appropriate linens and towels for the expected influx of guests. Hospeco Brands Group, at the forefront of thoughtful innovation in the away-from-home market for more than a century, makes it easy to fully stock linen closets. It can even help calculate the amount of linens a hotel or vacation rental will need.

Hospeco Brands Group’s Monarch Brands is among the most well-known and trusted names in bulk textiles, with products ranging from bed linens and bath, beach, and cabana towels to napkins, microfiber, and rags. Fine hotels around the world proudly offer Monarch linens to their guests.

Hospeco Brands Group’s Monarch Brand has developed an interactive online tool, the Hospitality Linen PAR Calculator, to help determine the amount of linens a hotel or vacation rental will need. Users simply follow the prompts, fill in the fields, and get a custom result based on their answers.

Typically, the optimum PAR level, or periodic automatic replenishment, is based on maximum expected usage, factoring in the peaks and valleys of hotel occupancy. For most venues, a common practice is to have a linen PAR level that represents three to five times the quantity required for one complete change of all rooms. For example, if one complete change requires 100 sets of linens, a hotel might maintain a stock of 300 to 500 sets, given a PAR of 3 to 5.

To first determine the type of bulk towels and sheets required, management must consider factors such as the total number and mattress sizes of all beds, the number of bathrooms, how many towels are provided per guest, and whether there is a pool, gym, spa, or salon on-site.

Arriving at a PAR level for wholesale textiles considers guest occupancy rates (a higher rate means increased demand for fresh linens), how frequently lines are changed, laundry turnaround time, loss and damage rates, seasonal factors, and other checklist items. The online tool generates a hard number that procurement managers can build around.
