Until the pandemic affected every aspect of life, housekeeping in hotels was a service that you would see the results of, but rarely would you see the work being done. This 24hr department has since become the “tent-pole feature” of hotel marketing initiatives, hotel repositioning, employee training and guest communication, but what you may not know is that in many cases, a certain percentage of housekeeping employees don’t actually work for the hotel. David Grossman is the Owner and CEO of Renue Systems, Inc, a global provider of comprehensive deep cleaning services to the hospitality industry. He came on the show to talk about what goes on behind the scenes at a large scale cleaning company and what it’s like being the leader of an organization that partners with some of the world's leading hotels on a function that’s suddenly in the spotlight.On this episode we discuss:- Renue Systems history and services (1:07) - What is happening in the market?
