In the first 3 weeks of the Procurement Portal going live, your feedback has been great - We love it too! The Procurement Portal was built to provide inn management with vetted products that meet or exceed Red Roof brand standards, and with the lowest available pricing. This portal is a living document; and as you engage with it, it will evolve into your go-to site for buying all the products your hotel uses on a regular basis. Changes to product and pricing will be updated monthly to ensure you are accessing the most current and accurate information and pricing. If you notice a product that isn’t listed or have suggestions for improvements, please contact Jon Baaske jon.baaske@rriwest.com.

Don’t buy too much as it will be back in stock very soon!
If your property experiences a power outage, you may need to reset your P&G Laundry Dispensersafter the power is restored.
Keep Your Trash Fees in Check – Never dispose of PTACs, Air Conditioners, or refrigerators in your dumpster. This will result in added contaminated waste fees and you could result in fines. Avoid overfilling your dumpster, because overage fees are being charged when the contents are above the dumpster walls, and these fees add up. Be sure that when disposing of boxes that they are collapsed and flat to save space. If your container is consistently running over, watch to see that there is no illegal dumping that’s causing this – post a professionally made sign stating, “No Trespassing – No Dumping” and ensure your gate and the lids are closed. Also, consider your pick-up schedule and size of container. You may need a larger container or need to increase pick-up frequency. Remember to use the WM Portal to change service, report issues, etc. The CHAT option on the WM Portal is awesome too.
Your next Procurement Town Hall is Thursday, 8/15 at 1:00 PM EST. Remember that these sessions occur on the 3rd Thursday of each month.
People & Culture
Work uniforms can be important for both employees and employers for a variety of reasons, including:
You don’t have to think… what should I wear today? It’s simple – wake up, get dressed in your company provided uniform – and go to work!
It can keep you safe! Uniforms can help distinguish employees from outsiders or customers and alerting others to their presence.
It helps advertise our Brand! Uniforms can help customers identify company representatives who can answer questions, which can improve customer service and universally shows the customer who we are! Additionally, Employees wearing uniforms can act as walking advertisements for a company or brand, especially when they're out on lunch breaks.
It helps build our culture as a Team! Uniforms can help employees feel a sense of camaraderie and connection to their team, which can foster positive attitudes towards their job. Well-fitting and stylish uniforms can show employees that their employer cares about how they look and feel, which can boost their morale and pride in their work.
And lastly, its our Policy! Per the Red Roof Brand and RRI West standards, we have uniform requirements that we must meet with all team members. Our RRI West Employee Handbook states the following:
Dress CodeYour appearance is our guests’ first impression. Dress standards help the Company maintain a positive business image. The company provides certain uniform pieces for field hourly positions. The following is not all-inclusive list and may change depending on business need:
As part of your employment, you will be issued a company paid uniform. This uniform is to be maintained during the course of your employment and you are required to be in uniform for every shift.
All apparel must be clean, pressed and in good condition at all times.
Additional items such as coats, cardigans, etc. may be worn as long as those items are workplace appropriate and do not take away from the overall look of the company uniform.
At the inn level, name tags and closed-toed shoes are required at all times during working hours while on the property.
You are expected to be neat and well-groomed in appearance, follow proper hygienic practices and be appropriately dressed for your departmental responsibilities upon your arrival to work.
For the most up to date information on our Brand-required uniforms, please see the attached information from RED ACADEMY!
