Duni napkins and tablecloths: an alternative to linen in professional catering
For any restaurateur, calculating the cost per plate is important for managing the restaurant's profitability. However, this profitability should not overshadow or diminish the service provided to customers or the image you wish to project for your restaurant or hotel.
Therefore, a question that often arises for any restaurant is the choice and comparison between a table set with disposable napkins and tablecloths versus a more traditional approach of textile napkins, very often in the form of rental linen.
Disposable, an absolute guarantee of hygiene compared to linen
The prestige of linen and a table set with a textile tablecloth and a cotton napkin is undeniable and brings a "high-end" and qualitative idea to your establishment. However, linen has two major drawbacks which are hygiene which is totally dependent on the quality of the washing of the linen . Between the washing directly resulting from the methodology, the professional detergent used, the delivery and storage conditions in your restaurants are all parameters which are sometimes difficult to control.
Added to this is the wear and tear of the textile, possible snags , and stains that can sometimes appear despite strict control.
In the case of disposable products like those offered by Duni , we are dealing with a "high-end" product with a finish very close to fabric , high weights which give the tablecloth and napkin a grip, a puffiness and a drape which can amaze your customers.
You are also faced with collections, colors, and decors that will be adaptable to the ambiance of your restaurant, hotel, or guesthouse, and thus vary your reception setting depending on the season.
Duni excellence at the service of the table: a variety of themes
Table setting is one of the first things your customers notice when they enter your establishment. To meet the demands of restaurant professionals, caterers, and communities, the Duni professional range offers a wide selection of tablecloths, napkins, and accessories that combine aesthetics, functionality, and practicality. The advantage is that they can adapt to any atmosphere and theme, whether for a corporate event, a wedding banquet, or a simple lunch on the terrace; Duni products add immediate value to your presentation.
Duni thus offers an autumn-winter collection and more specifically a line of Dunilin and Dunicel napkins and tablecloths for the end-of-year celebrations such as Christmas and New Year's Day. Each year, a renewal of patterns and table decorations is proposed to match the colors of the time.
This variety of themes, colors and collections is an undeniable advantage over using linens and textile towels.
Duni materials: quality, elegance, innovative fabric rendering
Duni offers several types of materials, all of which have in common the closest possible resemblance to a fabric finish, whether on rolls, tablecloths, or napkins. The range of different materials allows restaurateurs, caterers, or organizations to adapt their designs according to the type of reception and the service desired by the client.
The different materials available from Duni are as follows/
- Dunilin : Mainly used for the manufacture of napkins, Dunilin offers a high-end textile finish , perfect for elegant meals. This leads to very resistant and absorbent napkins with a grip and a puffiness for wiping above the average of non-woven products available on the market. Indeed, we find mostly "Airlaid" products of lower performance. Available in different sizes and colors, the Dunilin napkin remains a reference choice for catering professionals.
- Dunisoft : This material is mainly used for the manufacture of table napkins . They have the advantage of guaranteeing incomparable softness and fluffiness. This soft and fluffy aspect makes it ideal for daily or professional use in private or collective catering. The Dunisoft napkin , despite being disposable, is manufactured in an ecologically responsible manner because it is certified OK Compost, FSC, Nordic Swann and is of course food-safe like the entire Duni range.
- Dunicel : Duni's historic tablecloth material. It holds its shape well on the table, making it perfect for large gatherings. Available in 25 to 40 m rolls.
- Dunisilk : waterproof and shiny, with an elegant satin effect. Reusable, even for outdoor use.
- Evolin : the best of both worlds. The look of fabric, without the hassle. Durable, iron-free, and elegant for prestigious events.
Each material is designed to make everyday life easier for professionals while guaranteeing an impeccable finish.
Disposable tablecloths vs. linen rental: a cost-effective comparison
Today, many restaurateurs are turning to disposable fabric-effect tablecloths for one simple reason: they combine economy, hygiene and aesthetics . Renting tablecloths involves invisible costs: washing, ironing, delivery, return, deposit, etc. Disposable tablecloths eliminate all these costs . The price is fixed, with no surprises. The calculation of the cost per cover must be precise for comparison because even if you handle the laundry in-house, you will have to take care to include in your calculation the depreciation of the washing machine and its maintenance, water consumption, detergent and the hourly cost related to the treatment of the laundry.
When renting, you must have a monthly amount to cover the cost.
Every guest enjoys a clean table. No more checking for stains or sending back dirty linens.
With materials like Dunilin or Evolin, disposable tablecloths can be as elegant as fabric , with a textile drape and careful finishing.
