There are various functional types of carts, hand trucks, stands, and trolleys utilized throughout Hotels and Motels, to conviently tranfer items around.

Many styles are manufactured or supplied in New Zealand to suit.

Bridging Finance NZ

Bridging finance is available in NZ from financial suppliers, such as banks, mortgage brokers, and investment companies, to provide a short to medium term funding generally for property financing. Both investment and commercial property development can be undertaken with bridge type loans if traditional longer term loans, and circumstances are unsuitable. Examples include quick funds for business capital, more flexibility for certain used building purchases, and likelihood of simple and faster process for property trading and auctions. Sale Image by svilen001.

Business Operation
Commercial bridging loans can be adapted to better bridge the gap between buying a new property (e.g. with a motel) and waiting for a sale on existing property. Hence payments from a loan can be distributed for example, on the lease on the current. But also used for related costs - including for the newly purchased property or business. This loan availability for distribution can be important, if there is an overlap in timing of selling/buying of the two properties or business. Until the current is property is sold, and/or the new property is generating profitable business, external finance helps by preventing any monetary issues and to remain in a seamless transactional business mode.

Finance Purposes
In addition for financing property and business, bridge finance can be used specifically for -
- Property expansion/refurbishment - Increase business assets (e.g. apartments, motel units) and for personal home.
- Property Projects - Development for commercial, industrial, and residential homes and units.
- Business Capital Injection - Temporary or short term funding for business needs.
- Land Acquisition - For potential business schemes.
- Auctions - For purchase of property or small business.
- Cash-flow disruption - Urgent cash to ease or control monetary management within a company.
- Investment - Help prevent a missed opportunity by quickly buying established for sale units to rent or accommodate clients.
- Tax Payments - Easily finance any unexpected tax liabilities for your business.
- Pending sale of a family/personal home and purchase of a new residence. This can involve cash out clauses, unconditional offers, vendor obligations, and settlement or indefinite finalized dates, and open and closed finance.


Flexible Choices
Commercial Lifeline has produced a basic bridging finance guide (pdf) to help understand what is involved. Because of competition amongst lenders, and a variety of financing options including for bridging finance, perhaps consult an experienced mortgage broker or financial adviser. Doing so may well help explore options, to plan a suitable finance package that is relevant to your needs and any related business transactions.

Plastic Food Containers NZ

Lunch Box Meal

Storage, presentation, distribution, and customer service of food in the hospitality industry is an important and perhaps regular function performed by employees. Whether for motel kitchens, rest homes, hospitals, cafeterias, restaurants, food distribution/transport, personal room service, and Hotel events, then storage, delivery, and direct presentation of meals in quality manufactured plastic containers is important overall. This can include best practice guidelines in terms of reuse, recycling, health and hygiene, promotion and marketing initiates/campaigns from authoritative agencies, food preservation and protection, not only within any one business but the industry at large, including manufacturing and the supply chain involved with plastics.

NZ Organizations

Organizations such as Plastics New Zealand, and Sustainability NZ, are useful resources for current and future development in regards to plastics. This can include recycling, environmental life cycles, training, future technology and other information. For example the Plastic Identification Codes for different plastics such as Polypropylene and Polyethylene indicating their common food applications and subsequent recycled products. The NZ Packaging Council, another resource web site also has information on recycling, waste strategies, education, with related information to other agencies, such as: Beverage and Juice Association. NZ Trade and Enterprise, Paperboard and Packing, and Ministry for the Environment.

Consumer food safety, guidelines, auditing, certification, latest trends, research, industry news, training, and standards, are also important. Informational web sites such as the Food Works Directory, Standards NZ, and NZ Food Safety Authority can be resourceful avenues.


Container Types and Composition

Food and liquids can be stored or served in a range of plastic designed containers, styles and shapes (bins, crates, pottles, bottles, lidded small box, clam shell, hinged lids, round, rectangular, etc), sizes, end use (e.g. for bulk bin chiller storage, pallet movement/strapping, microwave heating, freezing, vented, stackable, etc) and material types, blends, and co-polymers. This includes High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), and Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE).

There are also Bio-Plastics material, e.g. Polyactic Acid (PLA). These are made from starch based produce, e.g. corn or sugar cane, which are renewable resources. Thus materials made from plants rather than oil, to produce eco friendly Bio-Polymers. NatureWorks LLC in the USA, produce innovative plastics from their green chemistry Bio-refinery manufacturing facility.

Technical Information

Perhaps search online for product/brand name, or general search for product, data/properties, and material/chemical specification and application sheets for various plastics. Often available in PDF download files from major industry distributors and petrochemical/petroleum producers, e.g. Plastics International has a spec sheet for LDPE. Global producers such as Exxon Mobil, Ineos Group, Dow Chemical, and Reliance in India may have a download section for their raw materials, i.e. plastics, polymers, co-polymers, and any related brand names.

Promotional Pens NZ

Pens, Pens, for You

Promotional products or merchandise are a significant marketing tool for businesses, including hotels, motels, lodges, and holiday resorts. Universal items such as pens, apparel, caps, glassware, torches, drinking mugs, lighters, lanyards, and stationery supplies, have long been utilized for brand awareness, advertising, and company recognition for customers, clients, suppliers, and staff. A survey by LJ Market Research conducted in the USA on business travelers, has shown that about 75 % of participants could recall the advertiser or company from promotional products from the previous 12 months. But yet only about 50 % could recall an advertiser from printed media in the last week, as published in this report (PDF) from PPAI (Promotional Products Association International).

Impact, Awareness, and Exposure Marketing

Effective use, i.e. marketing or advertising of products, including pens can achieve at least few desirable aspects:
- Keep customers aware of your business name when they travel or on the move
- Exposure to potential customers at trade shows, expo's, conventions, public events, including motel or hotel functions
- Customer and Staff awareness, appreciation, and loyalty, e.g. included in gift packs for regular (or even new) customers and staff
- Display and maintain corporate identity with image building (e.g. re-branding), in relation to other company services, divisions, and/or parent companies.

Pens still have a place in our digital society, since people have and still use them, particularly in business and corporate environments. But being creative with various pen colors, brands, styles,shapes, composition, logo's, and graphics can have a effect, or at least a impression on potential customers. Particularly in combination with other marketable products, such as stationary and office items, gourmet gifts, party and event suppliers, that can include batteries, mugs, key tags, wristbands, and many other branded universal personal use items.

Water Cooler NZ Suppliers

Water Coolers are perhaps becoming common in New Zealand homes, businesses, venues, and within the hospitality industry including restaurants, motels and hotels. Suppliers of cooler units are perhaps meeting and improving this demand which include various unit styles, capacities, rental and service options, best practice energy and environmental process systems, ISO certification, recycling and eco-energy initiatives, free customer trials and accessories. All this for one of the world's most common and relatively free element's: - H20 - nothing but...Water. Image of water glass by Art Mast.

But really, as we well know water is important, always has been and always will be, for basic human needs: including health, cleanliness, enjoyment, entertainment, and of course industry and human survival. Not surprisingly there are various Government, authoritative, legislative, and research companies with programs, resources,and standards relating to water for a range of public beneficial use: - quality, availability, public and personal health, compliance, treatment, hazards, disinfection, testing, resources, filtration, distillation, osmosis processes, food safety, energy reduction, reclamation, recyclable methods and much more.

*Involved are local government agencies (e.g. NZ Ministry of Environment (MOE), NZ Ministry of Health (MOH) (http://www.moh.govt.nz/water), which has resources including PDF documentation relating to Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Camplyobacter, Dental Health and Fluoride, Household Water Supplies, Water Grading, e.g. description of UV disinfection and cartridge filtration.
*Also the database for The National Water Information System New Zealand (WINZ) and other informative and authoritative sources such as Drinking Water for NZ (http://www.drinkingwater.org.nz/), ESR (Environmental Health and Research), Water testing based on IANZ (http://www.ianz.govt.nz/). Also infomation at Health Ed NZ (http://www.healthed.govt.nz/).

*World organizations and regulatory agencies: (e.g. In the United States - FDA, WPA, DOE, Energy Star, IBWA (International Body Water Association), and the WWO - The World Water Organization).

Water, a vital element seems to have been elevated in status (or perhaps re-focused prominently) as a healthy, clean, and pure medium to consume. Therefore globally their are an abundance of water cooler and related industries. Without doubt, water cooling and heating units allows us to enjoy with health benefits when drinking filtered water. Not only water by itself, but with other ingredients such as health electrolytes, beverages, soups, coffee and tea.

Perhaps review NZ water cooler companies online to evaluate which has the most and favorable options to suit your needs, what best practice the company utilizes, what relevant information can be provided (e.g. certified food grade or filter testing processes, cooler specifications, etc), including environmental or energy friendly methods, and if relevant and up to date certificates are available for inspection.

Water cooling units seem to generally operate similarly, but being power and digitally controlled, can quickly upgrade with more enhanced features and accessories, e.g. improved contaminant and potential toxin filtration removal. It would be wise therefore to do company research, seek advice (i.e. contact a company), and perhaps arrange a demonstration and trial period.

But fortunately within New Zealand their are many online stores that supply a vast range of models, types, accessories, expertise, and service to suit even demanding vacuum and specific cleaning requirements. Image of vacuum cleaning by Rissmu.

To help select a cleaning solution you may want to consider specific cleaning needs, particularly in a large hotel, several adjacent apartments or motel rooms, and exterior surroundings such as garages, carports, and driveways. Hence, with a little research, you may be better informed of what be an ideal vacuum cleaner or alternative cleaning solution for maximum efficiency. Some factors and features to consider could be...


Manufacturer's Brands

There are many to select from, so perhaps research or seek professional advice for specific requirements. Major or popular brands include Hoover, Dyson, Sanyo, Nilfisk, Panasonic, Electrolux, Kirby, Beam, Miele, Eureka, Oreck, Bissell, and others.

Vacuum Categories

Suction types can include back pack canister, upright, horizontal, dust extractors or central industrial units (e.g. for renovations, motel extensions), and commercial vacuums (e.g. larger motor size or suction capacity)

Vacuum Category Types

Within vacuum units are particular attributes, such as extraction capacity, central systems, bag-less, motor size, ergonomics, hand held (including cordless and rechargeable), filtration techniques (e.g. the hepa filters to help protect or reduce allergies to asthma and allergies), optimized turbine and power systems (can include patented technology such as the Radix Cyclone system for Dyson models).

Also hygienic quick particle disposal, telescopic wrap systems, combination accessory tools (e.g. for upholstery, hard floor and car cleaning) with crevice nozzles, recycled material in construction, high performance energy efficient motors (including a range of wattage outputs, e.g. from 1000W. Additionally wet and dry models, variable suction control, thermal cut out switches, "power" multi row brushes, carpet shampoo cleaning, and "green" range models. But of course overall ease of use, maneuverability, navigation, noise output (i.e. decibel rating for quietness level), cost, and ease of storage are significant factors.

Vacuum Selection - Floor Care

Selecting the most suitable or adaptable cleaning machine also depends on the type of flooring, design (e.g. stairs) and object surface material (e.g. for fabrics, linen, stains, and wet areas). Floor types include...

Wooden Floors

Use of hard floor heads, with soft and long bristles that do not scratch or mark the floor boards. Mopping, including steam mops, and power steam cleaning machines can easily clean and shine hard floors.

Carpets

Turbo, turbine and motor head driven vacuums can easily clean deeply in to dirty carpets, removing dirt, particles, and dust effectively. Some units provide shampoo cleaning for maximum cleanliness with certain models.

Tiles and Lino

Cleaning can be easily effected with standard vacuum floor heads, using steam mops, and specific models for spillage and stains.

Upholstery

Vacuums with specialized tools and attachments are effective, as are hand held vacuums to easily access between lounge suite cushions, bed linen, and recessed or spot touch cleaning, such as lamp shades, drapes, curtains, coffee tables, and draws.
