You know that you have items which need to be completely replaced and have been told that you are to research and recommend which products you will purchase. You have been assigned (4) items to purchase for your property. For this exercise, you will determine your PAR based on replacing all existing products with new/replacement products. You will need to determine the quantities required for your hotel based on the type of item you are purchasing. Pars for items will vary based on the items you are assigned. You will determine how many items to purchase based on the number of rooms in your hotel and our discussions regarding inventory pars/requirements.
Please answer the following questions in an essay format:
a) Describe the product that you are recommending for purchase and provide reasoning for your selection. You must be specific about what the product is that you have researched. (Example: Hamilton Beach Commercial 1-Cup Coffee Maker – and you would answer all of the questions about this product)
b) Include picture(s) of the product that you have chosen to purchase.
c) How durable are the products? Provide online user generated content (UGC) if available.
d) What is the expected lifecycle of each product? What is the manufacturers warrantee?
