Real-world impact across hospitality and beyond
Adding a Garment Dispensing Solution to your property isn’t just a convenience — it’s a strategy that impacts properties in a multitude of ways, including improving staff readiness, brand presentation and operational efficiency. These benefits show up with measurable impact across a diverse range of properties, spanning roles and functions while also contributing to overall guest experience and brand perceptions that impact companies’ bottom line.
Here are a few real-world examples that demonstrate how a Garment Dispensing Solution by Cintas has helped solve some of the challenges today’s hospitality leaders face when it comes to managing apparel:
Return-on-readiness from day one
At a luxury hotel in Nashville, the housekeeping department faced a familiar challenge: managing consistency in the apparel worn by rotating teams with outsourced and part-time staff. By implementing a Cintas Garment Dispensing Solution, the property transformed its onboarding experience while also reducing loss from seasonal turnover. Team members received clean, ready-to-wear garments on day one, helping them feel confident and valued from the get-go; while also maintaining a cohesive, on-brand look across their housekeeping teams.
The result? A 99% garment return rate within the first 60 days and measurable cost savings.
Apparel dispensing becomes a home-field advantage
At a nationally known Ballpark, the culinary team struggled to maintain apparel cleanliness during back-to-back home games. With limited time between shifts, laundering chef coats was a frequent logistical challenge. The Garment Dispensing Solution by Cintas offered an immediate fix: hygienically clean Chef Works garments available on-site for every shift, every game, without having to manage fitting or scheduling.
Game-day confidence taken to the next level
At Mercedes-Benz Stadium — home to the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United sports teams — the culinary team faced the challenge of keeping hundreds of chefs and cooks outfitted in fresh, clean garments for every big event. By partnering with Cintas to implement a Garment Dispensing Solution, the stadium was able to streamline garment distribution and laundry, ensuring team members had access to the apparel they need at the start of every shift with a simple card swipe.
“Having a program like this has really helped in enabling my staff to feel good, feel confident and comfortable; that they’re always going to look the part and feel the part — and they have a clean chef coat every morning when they walk in. Partnering with Cintas really takes us to the next level.”
