Types of restaurant fabrics
What kind of texture, color and grade fabric should be chosen? We must consider the level of the restaurant, the type of customers, the environmental atmosphere, the durability of the fabric, the difficulty of cleaning, the cost control factors and the menu-based service mode. According to the specific use, the cloth in the restaurant can be divided into the following categories.
1, table cloth. Table cloths come in various colors and patterns, but traditional and formal table cloths are white. For theme catering activities, the choice of colors and styles of tablecloths can be diversified, and there is no need to stick to a fixed format.
2. Decorative fabric. Decorative cloth refers to the additional cloth towel laid obliquely on the ordinary tablecloth, and its specifications are generally as follows.
100 cm square or size suitable for tablecloth surface. For a rectangular table made by splicing square desktops, several decorative cloths must be laid end to end. The specification of the round table decorative cloth is equivalent to that of the tablecloth, covering the whole desktop, and the laying angle is wrong with the tablecloth or the four sides hang evenly on the tablecloth. The color of decorative cloth should be in sharp contrast with the color of tablecloth. The use of red, green and brown decorative cloth can not only decorate and beautify the countertop, but also set off the atmosphere of the restaurant and keep the tablecloth clean.
3. napkins and bibs. Napkins are clean cloth items on the dining table, and the sizes of napkins vary. A napkin with a side length of 50 ~ 65 cm square is the most suitable, and a small napkin is called a cocktail towel. The color of napkins can be selected according to the main color of restaurant and tablecloth decoration, and strive for harmony and unity. Weeping refers to the cleaning cloth that the waiter ties to the customer's chest when eating lobster, spaghetti, barbecue, teppanyaki and other dishes in the process of western food service to prevent sauce and oil from splashing on the clothes. The cloth is brightly colored, which is in harmony with tablecloths, decorative cloth, napkins, etc.
4 sets of cloth mats. The tablecloth pad, also called tablecloth, is generally made of flannel. It is laid under the tablecloth, which can make the desktop look soft and make no noise when placing cups and plates. In addition, it can prolong the service life of tablecloths and reduce the direct collision and friction between silverware and desktop.
5. Table skirt. Used for high-end luxury banquet tables, banquet bars, service tables, display tables, etc. Must be surrounded by a table skirt. The specific method is: after the tablecloth is laid, fix the table skirt clockwise along the table edge with a pin, velcro or clip. There are different styles of skirts. There are three kinds of pleats in skirts: wavy, accordion and box. More luxurious table skirts are also accompanied by different types of decorative cloth (such as printed edges or short curtains, which can be subdivided into types that reflect different ethnic and racial characteristics).
6. Other categories. In addition, the restaurant also has service towels, tray mats, chair covers and other fabrics. In addition, it has become a fashion and trend to decorate walls, picture frames and curtains with curtains sewn with large pieces of cotton, silk, yarn and other fabrics.
