4 Reasons to Use White Tablecloths in Your Restaurant

June 02, 2020

Any successful business owner will tell you this for free, guest satisfaction is key in any business. In fact, it can make or break a business.

Research shows that an unhappy customer will share their negative experience with between 9 and 15 people.

Imagine how much that could damage your business.

The dining experience you provide for your guests at your restaurant matters. Your aim should be to please customers with five-star dining experiences.

This is regardless of whether your venue is a fine dinning restaurant or a function room.

But how do you please guests without breaking the bank?

Australian Linen Supply can help you with that.

The secret is in a well-chosen tablecloth. It provides a good base to help create a beautiful setting for everyday use. No matter the occasion, your setting will stand out.

Although some consider white tablecloths traditional, they have lots of advantages.

1. Make Your Accessories Pop

When shopping for tablecloths pick white ones. Since it is a plain colour, it gives you lots of room to experiment. Some accessories you can use include:

  • Table runners
  • Napkins
  • Centrepieces
  • Overlays in different colours.

Accessorise with these coloured overlays. Place your orders from Australian Linen Supply today, they offer prompt and free delivery within Australia.

Napkins are under-used as decor. Yet they are versatile, making them ideal for formal and casual occasions.

A cost-free way to add some flair to your napkins is by folding them in different shapes. Then tying them with a napkin ring. Rings are often available in the form of ribbons, lace, rhinestone or shells.

You can create some simple ones using free natural elements. Use flower sticks or strands of greenery.

Colour brightens your setting, especially in a casual diner. For a casual dinner setting use coloured napkins and Bistro napkins for formal dining.

2. Ideal for Any Settings

There is truth in the statement  “we eat with our eyes.”

What is in a colour?

Studies have shown that colour affects one’s psychology. The colour of your hotel impacts on the food choices of your guests. This also influences their dining expenditure.

White table cloths are good options for fine dining.

Research shows that customers don’t mind paying a premium price for a great experience. So why not offer fine dining at your hotel?

When setting a wedding party, many brides have different options to choose from. But a classic all-white wedding is the epitome of timeless elegance.

White tablecloths stand the test of time. Match them with white napkins and chair sashes for an elegant setting.

This being a formal occasion, follow these six steps to please your guests

Step 1. Drape your table. Lay a crystal white table cloth and have white sashes on your chairs.

Step 2. Place your dinner plates. Match your white dinner plates and bowls in each place setting.

Step 3. Fold your napkins. To achieve a crisp napkin fold, use high-quality napkins. Place orders from Australian Linen Supply. If you are in Australia you get free delivery.

Add a fun statement by tying your napkins with a golden ribbon.

Step 4. Lay your cutlery. Place your forks to the left of the dinner plate. On the right side, place knives and spoons.

Step 5. Place your glasses. Set different glasses for water and wine at the top right side of each place setting.

Step 6. Have some awe-inspiring centrepieces. You can’t go wrong with an all-white centrepiece. It never goes out of style. Include it in your shopping items. Guests will love a vase of lush white roses placed as centrepieces.

3. Easy to Clean, Replace and Maintain

Need to do some linen shopping? Place your orders from trusted suppliers.

If your linen needs replacing because of wear and tear, it’s always easy to find matching white linen.

Unlike coloured ones, you never have to worry about how to find the right shade. Have some options for fabric. Cotton, for example, is easy to clean and can withstand high temperatures.

White linen has no risk of the colour running or fading. You don’t need to sort them when cleaning. Machine wash them together and save time.

Spotting dirt and stains is also easy, prompting you to clean them. Apply these quick tips on how to take care of stains:

  • Get rid of the stain while still fresh. You want your linen to remain free from stains.
  • As soon as the cloth gets a stain, apply artificial sweetener on it. The powder will absorb oil and prevent a permanent stain.
  • Pre-treat them by soaking in hot water for 8 hours. Other options are to soak throughout the night or bleach it.
  • After 8 hours, run them in a short cycle using hot water. Avoid a long cycle because it will add extra wear and tear.
  • Hang it out and enjoy the free, bleaching benefits of the sun.

4. They Fit on Tables of All Shapes

When shopping, how do you know what size and shape of tablecloth or table runner to find? Too many options can be confusing.

The shape of your tables determines the shape and size of cloth to use.

Tables come in three main shapes:

  • Round. Use a fitting round table cloth. Measure the diameter of the table to get the right fit.
  • Square. Both square and folded rectangular linen work well for this shape.
  • Rectangle. For this shape, use either two joint square cloths or a rectangular-shaped one.

Place your order for white tablecloths of different shapes from Australian Linen Supply. They guarantee prompt and free delivery in Australia.

The right tablecloth depends on your setting. Some things to consider include:

  • Quality. This is the one thing you should never compromise on. High-quality tablecloths come at a high price. But they are durable and will serve you for a long time. Cotton and polyester and durable materials.

    Your budget will determine the price you want spend on you linen. But, if you would like help cutting on cost, buy in bulk from a commercial linen supplier.

  • Purpose. Is the tablecloth for everyday use or for a special party? The purpose of the tablecloth dictates the material. For everyday use, find a fabric that can withstand daily washings. Cotton or polyester are your best bets. Silk and satin are good for an elegant party. You are not limited with options such as choosing a plain fabric or one with colour.

  • Size. Determine the size of tablecloth you need. To calculate the size, take measurements of the length (L) and width (W) of your dinner table.

    If the cloth is for formal or casual dining, factor in the drop. The drop is the length of cloth hanging below the table’s surface.

    For casual dining have a drop of 15 to 20cm and  20 to 30cm for formal dining. Your linen supplier can help you with finding linen with the right measurements.
