5 key points to be considered when purchasing FFE for renovation

The general need of the FFE

The useful life of the FFE

The payment schedule. Payment terms are a critical aspect of FFE procurement due to the cash flow issues that are common in this industry.

End of life management is an ongoing challenge in the hospitality industry. Equipment is generally replaced within a two- to three-year time frame, and may be shorter in higher-end facilities. The need to continually refresh the look results in a range of products with useful life remaining after being replaced. As a result, many firms have built a removal and reimbursement process into the hospitality procurement contracts(Kotler 2008).

Quality of the FFE. Quality is an issue with all products, but the primary focus in hospitality procurement is longevity and replacement. For example, a hotel may purchase hundreds of chairs for the main lobby. These designs must be unique to the location, but can be easily repaired locally.

(Berry 1980 )

For the Meurice Hotel bedroom the follwing bed linens are required :

A king size bed, with crispy fresh white bed linen

At least 4 pillows

A feather duvet

Climbing into bed... the height of the bed completes the experience due to the combination of a box spring and voluminous mattress.

Cotton, apart from any other fibers in the world can absorb more moisture without sacrificing its ability to bring comfort.

The fabric is an all-natural bled of flax fibres, and most renowned for the soft, fresh, and cool feel to the skin as well as linen's highly absorbent, natural lustre, and durable qualities.

Cotton is also breathable nature, which means that it can let the air pass through its fibers thus giving a fresher feeling to the user.

Most linen is considered to be eco-friendly and organic, because the linen ...
