We understand the constant challenges of optimising operations while managing costs effectively. At FBM, we offer a broad range of simple yet effective strategies to help you reduce Per Occupied Room (POR) costs, without compromising on cleanliness; take a look at just a few of these strategies we implement.

Smart Inventory Management

Implementing a robust inventory management system can work wonders for controlling costs. We have our leaders regularly monitor stock levels of linen supplies, amenities and other consumables. By avoiding overstocking, and ensuring timely reordering, you can minimise waste and reduce unnecessary expenditure. Moving from auto-ordering of linen is an excellent way to only order what is required and avoid dead stock sitting on site.

Training and Retention of Staff

Investing in staff training and retention is a crucial aspect of maintaining high cleanliness standards, and in this tough, physical department it comes with its own set of challenges; risk and injury mitigation and management, colleague retention and turnover costs to name a few. By outsourcing to FBM, we take on all of this responsibility, ensuring a consistent and high standard of cleanliness without the unforseen costs that can come up in this department.

Data-Driven Cleaning Schedules

This strategy leverages our advanced analytics from working across a large number of sites, styles of hotels, hotel gradings and individual preferences/brand guidelines to optimise your cleaning operations and minimise unnecessary expenses; we do this through:

Predictive Deep Cleans

We understand that the day-to-day operation often does not allow time to cover all detailed aspects of a hotel cleanliness, nor should they need to; FBM set up deep clean schedules and periodical rotations for areas that do not need daily attention – our team act proactively to keep a site looking good without the need to build everything into a daily scope. This data-driven approach also extends to predictive maintenance, identifying areas that require minimal attention, before they become significant issues. Proactively addressing areas like damaged silicon, prevents costly wide-spread repairs needing to be carried out in the long-term.

Customisable Cleaning Plans

FBM understands that every hotel has unique needs. Our data-driven cleaning schedules are customisable to align with your specific requirements and occupancy trends. This flexibility ensures that cleaning efforts are tailored to your hotel’s individual characteristics, maximising efficiency and minimising costs.
