Regarding the use of white tablecloths in restaurants and dining establishments. One hospitality review and survey carried out in the USA found that between December 2008 and December 2009, people visiting restaurants with white tablecloths has gone up by over 40% compared to last year. AND! To drive the point home, these same diners are spending more on their meals when dining out than they did a 12 months ago. This makes it very clear that in the restaurant business, high end white tablecloths do make a big difference in the customers eyes which helps take care of the eatery’s business and ultimately the bottom line profit of the business.
So, the main point remains… what makes a really good restaurant tablecloth? Well for a start we need to know what we want from a white tablecloth as each establishment is different and has different requirements. We would like the tablecloth to be and look super clean and crisp, yet still soft to the touch. However, the tablecloth must not only look and feel good, our white tablecloths also need to be highly practical which means that the tablecloth protects the table from heavy use damage, the tablecloth fabric must absorb the spills and accidents that will occur.
