Linen Par Levels
What is It?
• A linen par level is a set number of inventory items that a hotel
should have on hand at any given time. The par level of
a hotel should be (3) pars. That provides one set of linen on the
bed, one on the shelf, and one in the laundry.
• A par level of (3) should include bed sheets, pillowcases, bath
towels, hand towels, bathmats, and washcloths.
• You should also determine a par level for blankets and duvet
covers based upon how frequently you change them.
Why is it Important?
• When a hotel does not have enough linen on hand the staff
cannot complete their cleaning tasks and have guestrooms
available to sell in timely basis.
How Does It Impact Your Business?
• Not having enough par can lead to lost revenue and increased
labor and linen cost.
