Restaurant Owner — Still Using Cloth Napkins? Keep Reading!
The Economy Has Shifted—So Should Your Napkins.
Running a restaurant in 2025 means threading a needle between rising food costs, higher wages, and relentless competition. Every line item matters, and traditional cloth-linen service can quietly drain thousands of dollars a year through rental fees, laundry surcharges, and replacement penalties.
Switching to Soflo Tableware’s premium linen-feel disposable napkins lets you:
- Slash recurring costs – No weekly rental or wash-and-fold invoices.
- Free up cash flow – Buy what you need, when you need it.
- Eliminate “missing-linen” fines – No more surprise charges for lost pieces.
- Save staff time – Skip folding, sorting, and inventory counts.
The Hidden Fees Nobody Tells You About
Most linen contracts look simple—until the first invoice lands in your inbox. Watch for:
| Linen Fee | What It Really Means |
|---|---|
| Weight Shortage Surcharges | If your dirty-bag return is under quota, you get billed anyway. |
| “Environmental” Add-Ons | Extra cents per piece for water, energy, or “fuel” adjustments. |
| Loss & Damage Penalties | A single stained napkin can cost up to 3× its rental price. |
| Automatic Contract Renewals | Miss the 30-day opt-out window and you’re locked in for another year. |
With Soflo Tableware, the price you see is the price you pay—no hidden extras, ever.
