June 2021 Local Business Support Report

 June 2021 local business support by Bergen Linen.

Your June 2021 local business support starts here – with Bergen Linen.  

Fortunately, this year’s post is a lot more optimistic than 2020’s. And most of our Food and Beverage community in a much better place.

Both indoor and outdoor dining are back at full capacity. Bars are also safely welcoming back guests. Weddings and other special events can celebrate the right way. The transition was swift.

Some business owners found themselves scrambling to look for vendors, product and waitstaff. In fact, some are still seeking some of these important aspects of restaurant / catering life.  One thing you didn’t have to stress about was your linens.

Throughout all the ups and downs, Bergen Linen made it a point to keep our doors open. (At times, we were down to about three workers. But we made it work!) Now, our team is back in full force. They are working hard to keep up with restaurant industry’s demands. 

 

Last year, many of our community F&B friends did their part in serving the community. Alongside them, Bergen Linen supplied any and all kitchen linen essentials. With a drastically reduced staff (like you), it wasn’t easy. However, it was important.

Today, it is just as important to be there for all of you. What an exciting time! Our team is answering calls and emails –  from both old and new friends.  

Bergen Linen is proud to serve communities in New York and New Jersey.  While based in Bergen County, we have a team of drivers that provide reliable service throughout the week.

 

Call (800) 789-8115 with your concerns. A team member will be happy to speak with you. You may also email info@bergenlinen.com.

2021 Graduation Season

by

The 2021 graduation season is here!  In addition, there are now increased capacities for both indoor and outdoor events. This is even more reason to celebrate! (As we are sure, you are!)

Over these past years, the graduates have worked hard to get to this point. They have earned that party.

With indoor and outdoor event spaces loosening restrictions, you can expect an increase in events – and guest numbers. And that is a win-win for everyone.

First, let’s take a peek at the table linen options. And next, we will point you in the direction of some party inspiration.

Graduation Party Ideas

  • Past school’s colors
  • Future school’s colors
  • Student’s favorite color
  • Black & White 

From formal to rustic, there are many ways to welcome a graduate and its guests. Fortunately, Bergen Linen offers a wide range of event linen colors to choose from.

Linen offerings include: table linens, napkins, overlays, runners, chair covers, sashes and more.  Our party linen rentals are available to restaurants, caterers, party planners and the general public.

While some choose a color theme, others may elect to choose a specific theme – and build around it. For example, casino night is still a popular option.  Think…black, gold, glitz. On the other hand, all-white fasjopm parties are still a big hit. And monochromatic party pictures do look especially amazing. (Plus, Bergen Linen’s sister company can remove any tricky stains on garments. When you wear white at an event, you should expect some ‘oops’ moments!)

Inspiration is everywhere. Feel free to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. On our social media, you can find ideas and different color palettes.  If you have questions about our party linen selection, you can also speak with a team member or request information by emailing info@bergenlinen.com.

Requesting a quote is as easy a phone call – (800) 789-8115.

Early 2021 Spring Check-In – New York and New Jersey area

by

Early 2021 spring check-in for all Bergen Linen’s local business friends.

While this spring certainly looks different, the Food and Beverage industry still faces challenging times.  With limited capacities, many restaurants and caterers are still struggling.  On a lighter note, many businesses found innovative ways to welcome guests back anyway they can.

Tents were erected. Heating lamps installed. Delivery service upgraded or introduced. Your dishes now available through GoldBelly.

Even If your venue is only providing take-out and/or delivery, there is still a need for aprons, bar mops, etc.  Bergen Linen is here for you. .  

Due to a reduced dinner crowd, Bergen Linen took into consideration restaurants’ new needs for small weekly deliveries. In fact, we introduced a Starter Package.  While it is customizable, it basically provides a weekly service of bar mops, aprons and floor mats.

For inventory questions, email orders@bergenlinen.com or call (800) 789-8115.  Both emails and voicemails are monitored regularly so you will receive a response in a timely manner. In addition, you may arrange for a production plant tour.

Together is the only way that we all continue to make it through.  Bergen Linen wants to thank you and everyone else doing their part.

2021 Passover preparation starts today! With the spring holiday season upon us, this is a great time to start reviewing your calendar. Let’s check off some of those to-dos together.

Table linens, napkins, aprons, waitstaff, chefwear, floor mats and more are a phone call away. The Bergen Linen team understands your day is a busy one. Therefore, we make sure that ordering is easy. And your delivery is consistent.

The special holiday requires a restricted menu to correspond with the religious story being told.  There are several edible items that should be found at a  Passover dinner table. Why not provide this important plate with a pretty backdrop?

  • Off-white
  • Pale gray
  • Sky blue
  • Light green
  • Golden yellow

2020 and 2021 Engagement Season

by

2020 and 2021 Engagement Season

Let’s start planning your 2020 and 2021 Engagement Season parties together!

With Valentine’s Day this past Sunday, this marks the unofficial end of the 2020 and 2021 engagement season.  And yes, it is no coincidence that the season coincides with some major holidays.

When it comes to engagement celebrations, there is a general rule of thumb:

Engagement parties should be held within a few months.

What a special time for your client and their families. While many venues may focus on the wedding, the engagement party, showers and rehearsal dinners are just as important – and lucrative.  On your team, it would be wonderful to have someone familiar with the wedding industry as a whole. They can help generate leads and navigate couples through the decision-making process.

Often, engagement parties tend to be smaller than the actual wedding. However, they also tend to be designed in a similar fashion.  Fortunately, Bergen Linen’s party linen rentals are an easy, affordable way to dress up your event space.

Linen offerings include:

  • Tablecloths
  • Napkins
  • Overlays
  • Runners
  • Table Skirts
  • Chair Covers & Sashes

Need a little party inspiration? Find a little on our Pinterest page and don’t forget to follow us on Instagram.

And try our linen rental request form or contact us.

Furthermore, you can email any selection questions to info@bergenlinen.com or call (800) 789-8115.

Latest New Offering –

New York and New Jersey Blanket Rentals

New York and New Jersey Blanket Rentals.

Blanket rentals are Bergen Linen’s latest offerings. They are the perfect addition for your upcoming delivery – or schedule a stand-alone order.

During this last year, Bergen Linen faced challenging times with the rest of the Food and Beverage industry. We pivoted alongside all of our neighborhood friends. And looked for new ways to be there for you.

With nor and/or reduced indoor dining, there is very limited requests for tablecloth deliveries. However, it is important to mention that studies show diners equate table linens with a higher level of experience and food. On the fence? Consider a cloth napkin or placemat – and now blanket rentals.

For customers no longer using linens, we introduced the Starter Package. This is simply a quick weekly order for aprons, bar mops and floor mats. (This is a customizable package so as to fit your needs.)  Chef wear and uniform rentals are also available.  Both New York and New Jersey casual and formal restaurants love the ease in our uniform care. Keep your team looking and feeling their best. Impress your guests today!

With winter upon us, Bergen Linen knew they had to keep evolving with the times. Outdoor dining in cold temperatures? Blanket rentals! They are a simple and easy way to keep your guests cozy. Even if only a select few diners request them, it is important that you have that option. In today’s world, it is all about accommodations, safety and comfort.  We would like to think that we are able to deliver all three.
