Questions

How many uniforms per employee?

HRFor HR

How many uniforms per employee?
A common starting point is three sets for daily-wear roles (one worn, one in the wash, one spare), four to five chef jackets or scrub sets where staff change during a shift, and two jackets for front-office and office roles. Laundry method and shift length change the numbers.
Why add spare stock?
Spare stock covers new joiners, size changes and damage between reorders. Ten per cent is a common choice for a new programme.
Is the planner result a quote?
No. It totals pieces per garment so you can see the size of the order. Our first reply turns it into garments per role, minimums and a rough range.
