Shazamme System User • Apr 14, 2021

Outsourcing in the hotel industry can provide an economical and logistical solution for many boutique and luxury hotels.


Compared with in-house, established and industry recognised outsourcing service providers often have a greater infrastructure, processes and resources for their service delivery as they specialise in their respective services.


By focusing their expertise and resources on a singular service, outsourced providers build out their deliverables for clients, providing a more comprehensive and cost-effective solution.

Top 4 advantages of outsourcing hotel services:
  • Increased resources
  • Optimised processes
  • High level of concentrated expertise
  • Less in-house administration and operational work

Why outsource housekeeping services?

The demand for housekeeping services in hotels can be particularly inconsistent. We witnessed this during the COVID-19 pandemic when many hotels were faced with having to reduce their workforce and once the industry was re-invigorated, and occupancy rates increased, hotels were then faced with sourcing challenges.


By outsourcing housekeeping services, hotels mitigate more of these risks while also gaining the many advantages that outsourced housekeeping services provide.

What are the benefits of outsourcing housekeeping?

For hotels who choose to outsource their housekeeping services, they can benefit from the latest housekeeping technology and systems, a fully-trained and flexible workforce set to meet occupancy rates, a decrease in compliance accountability for hotels, and less operational work for management.

  • Increased cost-efficiencies
