Tablecloths Or Bare Tables? Which Do Customers Like?

Wondering whether to go with tablecloths or bare tables? At first glance, bare tables may seem like the way to go. Covering them with linen costs extra and may seem unnecessary for tables that already look nice on their own. However, there are several reasons that restaurants commonly use tablecloths

Drawbacks Of Bare Tables

Bare tables may look nice but they come with a variety of drawbacks, especially in high-traffic restaurants. Here are the three most common reasons why they are a worse option than using a tablecloth.

Harder To Clean

No matter the material a table is made of, if there’s nothing between it and the mess, it will be significantly harder to clean off the table. This is especially an issue at high-traffic hours when taking longer to clean tables means longer lines, people leaving, and angrier customers. 

Degradation

It takes a toll on your tables when food, drinks, and other materials make constant contact with them. Over time, tables begin to degrade as they are repeatedly used. This is particularly true for bare tables with no protection from its users. 

They Look Worse

No matter how nice a table is, it will almost always come across as plain without any decoration on it. This perception eventually degrades along with the quality of the table over time. After several years of use, it shows more than just structurally. Every customer that uses your tables has the power to cause damage to it and the really bad ones can even demolish the visual appeal they once had.
