Written by Speed Queen Team | Aug 23, 2023 11:07:13 PM

Laundry is not just important, it is absolutely essential in the hospitality industry. When it comes to running a successful backpacker accommodation operation, having a robust laundry system can make all the difference. Not only does it save you costs in the long run, but it also greatly enhances your customers' satisfaction.

 

Improving customer satisfaction

Having a quick and efficient way of doing laundry while staying in a backpackers without having to go out and find a laundry is something that your guests will find invaluable. Travelers staying in backpackers' accommodations often have limited luggage space and prefer to pack light. Having access to a well-equipped laundry facility allows them to conveniently wash and dry their clothes, reducing the need to carry excessive clothing items. This not only saves them from the hassle of finding a laundry in an unfamiliar place but also adds to their overall comfort and convenience during their stay.

Adventuring can be sweaty work, so having easily accessible laundry will also increase the level of hygiene of guests within your backpackers. This not only improves their safety from infections and diseases but also allows them to go to sleep in nice, clean clothes. 

 

Saving costs with commercial laundry

As we've touched on many times, Speed Queen commercial laundry machines are built to last. When your business buys Speed Queen, there won't be a need to replace it for many years. A commercial machine also means faster cycles which in turn causes lower utility costs per kilogram of washing, and Speed Queen’s durability will reduce maintenance and repair costs. 

Because of their superior efficiency, commercial machines can be optimised to fit in a much smaller space than domestic machines capable of similar load sizes. 

Lastly, vended commercial laundry machines can be used to supplement the income made from rooms in your backpackers. If they were already intending on going outside to do their laundry, odds are your guests will be more than willing to use your onsite laundry! Here's a recent example of an install from one of our distributors in a Brisbane backpackers;
