PRE-OPENING

SUPPORT

L&A consultants can assist with the setting up of the Housekeeping operations at the Pre-opening phase or complete a full Hotel Opening. Projects include preparation of manuals, policies and procedures, establishment of standards and training.

  • An L&A consultant makes an initial visit to review the scope of works, assess the site and give initial feedback. A critical path is established for the property to work through to the hotel opening date. Work can be conducted both on site and off site via emails, internet and phone contact. Follow up visits then continue with a final visit up to 6 weeks out to assist in the full training of the Housekeeping team before the opening.

  • Pre-opening support is an essential tool for Hotel Management to use prior to the appointment of the Executive Housekeeper. Critical decisions such as FF&E, operating equipment choices, the mock up room and set up of Housekeeping can be made with confidence. Once the Executive Housekeeper starts, preparation and initial work is then handed over.

  • With L&A’s vast pre-opening experience, pit falls of pre-opening housekeeping issues can be avoided. The Executive Housekeeper has a clear plan and comprehensive critical path to continue with once appointed and this ensures a smooth and efficient opening.

  • These services can be tailor made to suit the individual needs and requirements of the Hotel.

  • A smooth efficient Hotel opening, Housekeeping well setup and structured professionally, well timed staff training and effective use of manpower.
