ISSUING OF LINEN:

At the time of setting up of the hotel every floor is issued 1.5 par linen in their floor pantries apart from the one par, which is already in their rooms. This line is kept in the floor pantries in the lock for which the keys lie with the floor housekeeping attendant. Every day the housekeeping attendant makes the departure and the occupied rooms and uses the fresh linen from the floor pantries. The dirty linen, which is withdrawn, is entered on the Linen Exchange Records of the floor and is exchanged in the linen room for the fresh linen

The format of the linen exchange register or book is as follows:

The Housekeeping attendant of the floor and the linen room supervisor or the attendant signs this linen exchange register or the book in his absence. This book is maintained as a record of exchange in the two sections.

STOCK TAKING PROCEDURE:

When ever the linen room runs short of the supply due to discarding or loss of the linen the inventory reflects it. This shortage is immediately taken care by raising the purchase order and procuring of the linen in the store. The same linen is now, to fulfill the required par, is taken into the linen room by issuing Store Request / Indent to the store duly signed by the authorized authority i.e. EHK or Deputy Housekeeper.

 The linen is checked and collected from the store. Thus new stock of linen received from the store is added to the stock or circulation inventory of linen. The linen thus received in the linen room is sent to the laundry for the wash before putting it to the circulation. The stock taking procedure can be half yearly, quarterly or yearly depending upon the policy of the company. Also prior to taking the stock in the department all the shortages and discards are calculated and keeping them in view the stock request is made. Also is considered the future discard, which is going to go out of the circulation soon in no time.

The format of the Store Requisition is as discussed below:

The store collector signs the above store request and the store in charge after the store is handed over to the former and a copy is added to the record of the store while the second copy stays in the book itself.
