Range of applications and products
The
sheer number of utilities and the need to identify matching products to address
these utilities and applications place enormous responsibility on the hotel
management to seek informed sources and consultants to choose right products. The
hotel supply products categorize into Bath Supplies, In-room Amenities, Bath
& Bed Linen, Luggage Handling, Housekeeping Supplies, Hotel Cooking &
Baking Equipment, Lobby, and Banquet Hall & Conference Hall Furniture.
Quality of products
As
the products come in several combinations and variants from both indigenous and
international markets, it is really hard to gauge its quality just by seeing
their outlooks. The brands and their quality ratings cannot just be judged without
getting educated on the manufacturers’ background and their scale of industry
presence. As though not enough, newer technologies and versions of software
used in the various hotel gadgets make evaluation and understanding difficult.
On
the other hand, an expert in hotel supplies products can explain the niceties
and minor differences about various product variants, their quality levels and
technical suitability to your hotel. For example, in hotel equipment, unless
you are properly guided in choosing a machinery model or variant for your
specific cooking capacity, you will not be able to pick the right machinery
that serves your purpose. Either, it will not support your cooking volume or it
will have to be replaced when your hotel’s cooking needs increase in volume
increase in the future. Also, the choice of make and material of the machine
goes a long way in determining its durability and matching the food safety
norms.
Moreover,
dinnerware, kitchenware and storage ware have to be carefully chosen so that
food grade materials are bought as against other cheap materials which are not
safe for preserving, serving and storing food.
Changing trends
Like
clothing, travel trends keep changing. There has to be constant change in the
concepts of ambience setting, food festivals, dress code, lightings, promo
offers, aroma, drapery, in-room supplies and interiors of the hotels. The
individual hotel also has to evolve and transform quite often to woo different
sets of customers and retain existing/regular guests.
The
hotel supply product has to be seen as a holistic ingredient to the overall
marketing program for that season instead of a stand-alone utility-serving commodity.
The changing trends or the temporary makeovers of the hotel need changes in the
kitchen equipment, dining furniture, draping, displays and even amenities. A
hotel supply consultant with a bird’s eye can strategically help with relevant
products to take advantage of seasonal trends and opportunities.
For optimum usage and guidelines
Be
it hotel cooking equipment, implements, amenities and cleaning agents, they can
be best and optimally used by adhering to usage guidelines and instructions. The
professional hotel supplies seller helps in understanding and using his wares
better for greater outcomes, longevity and cost savings.
It
is always better to buy hotel supplies from a vendor who knows his products
well and also, has a deeper knowledge on how the hospitality industry fares.
