Restaurant tablecloths are a great way to improve the looks and function of your dining area. Nicely ironed and starched table linens can set a distinctly upscale flair. They can also be great for covering up the not so pretty tables. Vinyl tablecloths are great because they can easily be wiped clean.

Pros of using Restaurant Tablecloths

Restaurant tablecloths can offer several benefits. They are a great way to cover up your older tabletops that may be the wrong color or need refinished. Tablecloths can be cheaper than buying new tables. They can also be less expensive to replace if they become torn or stained, as they probably will.

Tablecloths come in a wide variety of colors, materials, and sizes, so the decorating options are endless.

Busy restaurants can benefit of being able to quickly wipe down or replace them for the next dining party.

Cons of using Restaurant Tablecloths

Before buying tablecloths for your restaurant, consider these drawbacks. They aren’t as strong and durable as a hard surface table top. They are more cost efficient to replace, but they can be easily be ripped, cut, or stained rendering them useless.

Cloth Tablecloths require a lot more upkeep than hard surface tabletops. It is easy to just wipe down a table top between guests, but cloth tablecloths will need to be cleaned, pressed, folded and stored. Our vinyl tablecloths are much easier to work with, but they may be more fitting for a pizza restaurant than a fine dining atmosphere.

It is important to leave a correct first impression when setting the ambiance with your guests. A customer looking for a burger and fries may be put off by fancy cloth tablecloths but will be welcomed by bare tables or vinyl tablecloths.

The type of establishment and the type of customers you hope to attract should pre-determine the type of tablecloths to use.

Caring for your Restaurant Tablecloths

Restaurant tablecloths won’t be much benefit if they aren’t cared for properly. Some companies will outsource their laundry, while others do the cleaning in-house. Using a professional cleaning service is usually the most efficient solution for taking care of your restaurant linens. Vinyl tablecloths just require a good wiping with a rag and spray cleaner to remove the food and oils.
