You can’t purchase napkins for a single room in a hotel. Each of the bars in the lobby, room service, the banquet hall, and the breakfast buffet consumes a different number of bulk custom napkins at a different rate. The caterers are presented with the same conundrum for each event. Service planning by type of service, not by feeling, ensures full shelves and no money wastage.

How Many Bulk Custom Napkins Do You Need per Guest?

Make plans based on service types. A sit-down meal will normally require 1-2 napkins per person. For a cocktail reception, each individual needs 3,4, typically. Take 10 percent for a cushion and then divide by the number of wholesale restaurant napkins per case to determine the number of cases required.

• Standing dinner: 1.5 to 2 per person
• Cocktail reception: approximately 3 , 4 per person.
• Serving size: varies with menu – monitor for a week.

These are only the starting points. Fine-tune them using your own event data.

 

The benefits of purchasing Wholesale Restaurant Napkins in Bulk.

Foodservice paper napkins make them more affordable and reduce quantity orders. One delivery means one season of events, and printed napkins ensure that the branding is consistent across all outlets.

Purchasing from the manufacturer also eliminates the markup, and the napkin remains the same size and thickness from batch to batch.

 

What is the advantage to the hotels and caterers?

The predictable cost is the first. If you have some idea of your bulk beverage napkins per guest, you can feel confident in pricing your events and won’t be buying napkins at the last minute.

Consistency follows. One design can be incorporated into the lobby, restaurant, and banquet areas of a hotel. A napkin may be taken to all the venues by a caterer.

Right-sizing saves money. The 10 x 10 inch beverage napkin is appropriate for drinks and appetizers. A table service dinner napkin comes in 15 x 17 inches. Larger tables require a 17” x 17” napkin. If it fits, the smaller size will reduce waste.

Ply alters the feel. Two-ply is sturdier and is best for table service. One-ply suits are used by fast counters and for beverage service, where the cost per unit is more important.

Easy to manage storage. Cases are stored horizontally on a shelf. Try to avoid having them get damp, down on the floor and exposed to steam, so that the paper remains crisp.

Having a spare case makes event planning easier. Reserve one additional case in anticipation, and tables will never have to wait for the last minute for napkins.

What are the businesses that purchase napkins on a large scale?

Any activity serving food to customers in bulk.

Hotels that provide facilities for Banquet, Bar, and Room Service.

The caterer who serves wedding and corporate events. 

Restaurants and restaurant groups

Cafes and juice bars using beverage napkins

Concessions and stadiums. 

 

What are your customisation options?

It is possible to select size, ply, folding, colour and packing. Full colour print runs from one colour to full colour, with food-safe inks.

• Sizes: 10 x 10, 15 x 17, 17 x 17, or custom
• The number of plies, either one or two.
• Fold: Dispenser, Quarter, or Dinner Style
• Using a logo, pattern, or monogram on print.

The Deli Paper company makes napkins, deli paper, and paper bags in-house, provides in-house printing, and maintains low minimums. One caterer design can be used as a basis for other event designs as the calendar gets fuller.

Use print when it’s appropriate. A hotel may have one colour logo for its normal day-to-day operations and a full colour logo for a gala. Maintain an artwork file on record for each batch to match.

Request a sample prior to ordering. Test size, ply, and print on a table setting. Then purchase a small sample unit, and compare with your event records.
