The advantages of placemats in restaurants are manifold. They provide protection for table surfaces from spillages, stains and scratches. Placemats also help service staff prepare tables by ensuring that everyone has enough space, which also creates a harmonious visual effect.
In addition, placemats serve as a platform for communicating important information to guests, such as special offers, events or a QR code with the menu. With personalised placemats, your brand will be much better remembered by your customers.
When choosing placemats for your restaurant, you should consider factors such as appearance, functionality, format and budget. Materials such as paper, silicone and the linen-feel Dunicel® offer different options for different purposes. For example, fast food restaurants may favour disposable placemats made from FSC®-certified paper, while fine dining restaurants may opt for a more elegant touch such as the premium alternative Dunicel®.
Placemats can be used creatively. If the placemats match the theme or decoration of the restaurant, such as the use of sea motifs for a fish restaurant, the placemats give the restaurant a special touch. Printing menus or special offers on placemats avoids having to regularly create new cards, saves table space and speeds up service. These creative uses not only enhance the dining experience, but also contribute to the branding and efficiency of the restaurant.
