September 2020 New York Restaurant Indoor Reopening

September 2020 New York Restaurant Indoor Reopening

Are you ready for indoor dining? Let’s prep together.

In about a week, the area is looking forward to the September 2020 New York restaurant indoor reopening. The decision is met with excitement, questions and some concerns.

Throughout the lockdown, Bergen Linen has been right here with you.  And now with some ‘normalcy’ returning, we will be there for you.   Create  a safe space for guests. White, fresh linens on your table will provide a clean dining experience. If you have not used linens before, you may wish to reconsider adding this extra layer of protection. Quality linens are affordable and elevate a diner’s experience. If you have already been using linens, you may wish to take a look at your past orders to figure out upcoming orders.  Questions? Call (800) 789-8115 or email info@bergenlinen.com to learn more.

When socially distanced tables are not in use, try our custom (with your logo) “Reserved” tent cards to retain your ambiance – but still meet safety standards. In addition, we also offer linen placemats for venues that are not ready to jump into a full tablecloth experience.

While we will all be navigating this together, it is important to take steps in preparing now. The New York restaurant indoor reopening will be here before we know it. Give us a call today! A team member will be happy to discuss your options with you.

New Jersey Restaurants Reopening September 2020

Recent News! New Jersey Restaurants Reopening Announcement.

Earlier today, New Jersey restaurants reopening September 2020 was announced.  For many, this means a rush to prepare.

Throughout the lockdown, Bergen Linen has been here for you – and will continue to be.  As an essential service, we understood the importance of staying open.  We knew that soon enough we would be seeing your friendly faces again.

In the past, some casual restaurants did not use tablecloths. However, you will want to consider adding table linens or placemats. For customers, this acts as another level of security for your diners.  Additionally, guests equate table linens to a higher quality experience.

More formal restaurants tend to always use tablecloths. Do you have the inventory on hand or in need of an order? It’s not too late. Bergen Linen makes placing an order easy.

Have you been counting down for your restaurant to be able to reopen? Well, let’s get ready together. Along with table linens, Bergen Linen also offers the following:

  • Uniforms
  • Bar Mops
  • Floor Mats
  • Additional Kitchen Linen Essentials

Call (800) 789-8115 or email info@bergenlinen.com.  A team member would be happy to listen to your needs and find the best plan for you and your team. There is still ‘summer’ left so let’s make the most of it – together.  And don’t forget to find us on Instagram!

Bergen Linen now offers anti-viral fogging treatment.

While it may not be the norm, this July 2020 anti-viral fogging is a new service being offered – and an important one at that.

Over the last few months, the Food and Beverage industry certainly has seen some unprecedented lows.  The lockdowns came quick. The news changed even quicker. With the instability all around, New York and New Jersey did their best in providing safety protocols. However, this left many restaurants and caterers (& many other businesses) scrambling to adjust.

As you begin to welcome team members and guests, the worst case scenario seems inevitable.  Fortunately, Bergen Linen is here to help with our effective anti-viral service. Like you, we hope you do not find yourself in a predicament. However should you, isn’t it nice to know that you have our team to call?

We welcome you to call (800) 789-8115 or email info@bergen linen.com to learn more. As management, arm yourselves with the knowledge of how to protect your team and others.  Bergen Linen encourages you and your staff to review safety protocols and have a plan in place. And let us be a part of that emergency plan. During this challenging time, our team is proud to stand by you. And don’t forget to follow us Instagram for the latest industry news.

June 2020 Restaurant Reopening

June 2020 Restaurant Reopening

This month’s restaurant reopening will prove tricky for many. Bergen Linen is here for you.

June 2020’s Restaurant Reopening will mark a special time for many owners and teams.

In these last few months, some restaurants and caterers have completely shut their door. As we all tried to navigate through this pandemic, New York and New Jersey food and beverage industry professionals tried to find ways to keep their businesses open.  For some, it meant offering take-out and delivery.  Alternatively, others took the time to remain closed and prepare for their future.  In brief, there is no wrong or right way to handle such an unprecedented event.  You do your best – that’s all.  Now, allow us to help.

Despite all the ups-and-downs, Bergen Linen used these last few months in the most productive way possible.  Sadly, we had to temporarily lay many of our production workers off. With a reduced crew, the team updated our facilities, logistics, computer program and more.  At the same time, we continued to provide linen rentals to our local friends.

As you begin to open up, you and your team will have to transition to this ‘new normal’ including:

  • outdoor dining
  • limited capacity
  • use of face masks
  • socially distanced tables

Additionally, many dining establishments are considering reservations to alleviate wait times.  If you are planning on opening your restaurant or caterer (or continue to remain open), please know that Bergen Linen is here for you.  Linen rentals such as chef wear, uniforms, tablecloths, napkins, bar mops and more are available.  Your kitchen linen essentials are only a phone call away. You can reach a team member at (800) 789-8115 or email info@bergenlinen.com.
