Set napkins: why they are needed and what they are made for
For any public catering establishment, be it a cafe or a gourmet restaurant, a coaster is a mandatory serving item. Why do you need a napkin set for the table? It is designed to ensure hygiene standards, demonstrate care for the client, and also protect the table from contamination and damage. In addition, the coaster is a great promotional medium if you put your logo on it.
Characteristic features of napkin sets
The first and main thing is the size. It is important that the napkin set made of genuine leather be of such length and width that cutlery and dishes can be freely placed on it. As for the shape, the standard options are a rectangle or an oval, but in practice, any configuration can be implemented. The style and design should match the environment of the establishment for which the placemat is purchased, because there is something else for which a set napkin is needed - it harmoniously complements the environment, being the final touch in setting the table. That is, for an expensive restaurant, it is important to take care of products made of genuine leather, and for a cozy Italian trattoria, prefer a fabric option.
But regardless of the material of manufacture, such products are quite easy to care for and are quite affordable. Even if they are made of fabric, you cannot wipe your hands and mouth with a trivet, it is only needed for serving. And what materials are the sets under the placemats made of in general? In addition to leather and fabric, they can be made of kraft paper, eco-leather and plastic, but the last option is an idea that is only good for very budget fast food.
Advantages of set napkins made of genuine leather
They are usually bought for expensive restaurants, so their main feature is a demonstration of the high class of the establishment. After seeing a genuine leather placemat, the customer immediately understands that both the kitchen and the service will be at their best.
It is also important that such a product is very easy to care for. In the case of minor contamination, it is enough to wipe, removing stains, and that's it. At the same time, despite their cost, they are the most practical, as leather sets with a logo not only look elegant and presentable, but also serve for a very long time. This option is chosen by establishments near good hotels, status restaurants and even just cozy cafes that want to demonstrate respect for their customers.
