Par Stock Calculation
Par stock is the number of complete linen sets a hotel keeps for every room. Hotel linen needs more than one set per room because at any time some is on the bed, some is in the laundry and some waits on the shelf. Enough par stock keeps rooms turning over on time and spreads the washing load, so linen lasts longer.
- 3 par: one set in the room, one in the laundry, one in the store. The usual minimum.
- 4 par: adds one set as a buffer for stains, damage and laundry delays.
- 5 par: for high occupancy, an off-site laundry, or time between orders.
Total to stock = items in use per room × number of rooms × par level
