From April 1st, 2011, Loon Moon Group (Rose Hotel Yokohama & Chungking Chinese Szechwan Restaurants) will be launching their new look to celebrate Rose Hotel's 8th year. Colorful and exciting series of uniforms were designed by Maki Hayazano of Yokohama's local ROU ROU fashion label. All the staff of Rose Hotel Yokohama and Chungking Szechwan Restaurants will be welcoming the guests with this new identity.
"The theme is based on Neo-Chinatown, a mix of both traditional and modern Chinese styles and ideas. I want people to feel the mystic journey of exciting modern Chinese cities such as Hong Kong and Shanghai when they enter the hotel and restaurant outlets." explains Hayazono about her fashionable uniform concept.
The new uniforms are not only stylish, but come with some unique features including a waist pouch for some to make it more functional, which is quite rare in regular hotel uniforms. The uniforms will enhance the oriental feeling to one of the Chinatown's landmark, Rose Hotel Yokohama.
The hotel guests will be greeted by the bell staff in their clean white jacket derived from the Yokohama marine image. The front desk clerks will be dressed in rose woven jaguard fabric with the style of Vietnamese Aodai.
Mission Linen Supply, a leader in textile rental and buy direct programs, announced that it has been awarded an exclusive five-year contract from Santa Barbara County. Under the agreement the company will be the sole provider of uniforms, dust mops, mats and towels to more than 250 people and over 50 locations throughout Santa Barbara County.
The Santa Barbara County contract covers a range of local offices and departments including Sheriffs’ stations, County fire departments, County roads, Flood Control, Sanitation Transfer Stations (Tajiguas Land Fill), County clinics and the County Jail. Mission Linen Supply will be providing uniforms for county employees, excluding those in the Sheriff’s and Fire Departments, as well as a range of industrial service products.
Although Santa Barbara had been a Mission Linen customer in the past, the County had contracted with a different provider in recent years. Now that the two entities are working together again, both parties are pleased that the business has gone to a local company.
Karl Willig, Mission Linen Supply’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “As a national business with local headquarters, we couldn’t be more proud to provide service to the government and public works employees of Santa Barbara County. We’ve been business members of this community since 1930, and we’re delighted the County has chosen to work with a local partner.”
In other Santa Barbara news Mission Linen Supply announced that it has launched a pilot project using a specially-designed delivery truck fueled with environmentally friendly compressed natural gas (CNG). The company worked with BAF Technologies, the recognized leader in natural gas technology and conversion, to equip the truck with the CNG system. The vehicle will use less fuel and produce fewer harmful emissions, saving the company money while minimizing its environmental impact.
