Budgeting Labor and Linen Expenses






The housekeeping is a support department or “non-revenue” or a “cost center” department; therefore, the executive housekeeper’s primary responsibility is achieving the property’s financial goals by controlling departmental expenses.
客房部是一个提供支持的部门,既不是“收入中心”,也不是“成本中心”部门;因此客房部主管的首要职责就是控制部门开支以达到酒店的财务目标。

The main items executive housekeepers must concern themselves with the term of budgeting are:
客房部主管需考虑预算的主要条目包括:

  1. Labor Expenses  人工成本

    Labor Expenses  which is the single highest expense of the housekeeping department includes salaries and wages and employee benefits.
    人工成本,是客房部单项支出最高的开支部分,包括员工薪资福利
    The first step in budgeting the labor costs is to determine which positions are fixed and which are variable depending upon the occupancy levels at the hotel.
    预算人工成本的第一步是确定哪些是固定岗位,哪些是根据酒店住宿率变化的非固定岗位。

    Fixed staff positions are those that must be filled regardless of the volume of the business such as managerial and administrative positions; executive housekeeper, supervisors..
    固定员工岗位是无论业务量大小都必须设立的管理行政职位,例如客房部行政管家、主管/领班。

    Variable staff positions are those that must be scheduled depending the occupancy level of the hotel.
    非固定的员工职位是根据酒店住宿水平变化而增减的职位。
    Some examples for these positions are: room attendants, house persons and laundry attendants.
    例如客房服务员、保洁人员以及洗衣间工作人员。

  2. Linen expenses 织物用品开支

    Linen expenses are the next highest expenses of the housekeeping department.
    织物用品开支是客房服务部第二高的开销。
    Linen expenses can be for outside services for rented linen or for in-house laundry depending the nature of the operation.
    织物用品开支根据运营性质可分为租用外部的织物用品服务以及由酒店内部洗衣房负责。
    Linen includes uniforms and recycled inventory items such as: sheets and towels.
    织物用品包括制服和床单、毛巾等循环使用的物品。

    The initial purchase of linens for the hotel will greatly influence the costs of replacing lost or damaged linens.
    对酒店的首次购买将极大地影响更换丢失或损坏的布草成本。
    The fabric type, size and color influence both price and lifespan of linens.
    面料类型、大小、颜色都会影响织物用品的价格和使用周期。

    The executive housekeeper must carefully select suppliers and linen products to ensure the hotel receive good value for money spent.
    客房部行政管家须谨慎选择供应商和织物产品,确保酒店的花销物有所值。

    Durability, laundry considerations and purchase price are the main criteria to use in selecting linen.
    耐久性、洗衣费用和购买价格是选择布草的主要标准。

  3. Non-recycled items 不可回收的物品

    Another expense item in this department is the operating supplies including non-recycled items such as guest supplies and amenities, cleaning supplies and small equipment.
    该部门另一项开支条目是管理日常用品,其中包括不可回收的物品,例如提供给宾客住宿所使用的客用品、清洗用品和小件物品等。
    The budget for these items is prepared based on the cost per occupied room.
    这些物品的预算是按照每间住宿客房的成本来准备的。
