The restaurant industry is not merely about the quality of the food you serve. The food service industry is a whole production, and everything from the floors to the ceilings to the invisible factors like the aroma of a restaurant play a crucial role in delivering the complete dining experience.

An integral part of the non-food aspect of running a successful restaurant is, of course, your choice of restaurant table linens.

Table linens not only contribute to the look of each individual table, but they also form a part of the whole aesthetic appeal of the restaurant, adding to its flair and character on top of providing an essential layer of protection for the furniture.

Things to Consider when Choosing the Right Restaurant Table Linens

When it comes to picking your restaurant table linens, there are a few important points to consider:

Size – The size of the table is, of course, a primary consideration when choosing your restaurant table linens. Too small and your restaurant just looks undone and unsightly. Too large and you’re just running the risk of trip-and-fall accidents. Check out this handy tablecloth sizing guide. For accuracy, consult with a table linen expert on how to get the perfect size for your tables.

Shape – Aside from the size, your tablecloth shape should match the shape of your table to create a clean, seamless, put-together appearance.  

Fabric – In picking the fabric of your restaurant table linens, consider a number of different factors including the type of food you serve, your furniture material, the color and design scheme of your interiors, etc.

Accessories – Different types of restaurants accessorize their restaurant table linens differently. Some restaurant themes require a full, matching set of runners, napkins, and placemats, while others require just one or two add-ons. For instance, the more formal dining settings require matching fabric table covers and accessories, while the more casual ones have no need for runners and placemats and stick to napkins in complementary colors and a simple centerpiece.

Maintenance Requirements – As with all other kinds of restaurant linens, tablecloths vary in material and maintenance requirements. So, it’s important to know what your restaurant table linen of choice requires in terms of maintenance, and decide whether or not it is something you are willing to put up with.
