Outdoor October 2020 Dining Still in Full Force

Outdoor October 2020 Dining Still in Full Force

With the help of good weather and heaters, outdoor dining will continue well into October…and beyond?

Outdoor October 2020 dining has weather on its side.  Even so, many businesses are preparing for the cooler weather ahead.  Tents and heaters are perfect cool weather additions.

However, there are other items to consider as well.  Are you happy with your current linen provider?  If not, you should know that Bergen Linen is the best value in your area.  In addition to expert fabric care, we are passionate about our customer service.

Over the last several months, we have weathered through more downs than ups. Through that time, our team has looked for new ways to keep your businesses running smoothly.  It is important that both your team and community feel confident at your establishment.

Bare tables can look just that – bare.  If you use table linens inside, consider mirroring your restaurant’s ‘look’ on the outside.   They look great and add a level of comfort.  If you have not used tablecloths prior, you may wish to try linen napkins.  Bergen Linen offers many styles to choose from.  Find your perfect fit today by calling (800) 789=8115 or emailing info@bergenlinen.com.

Bergen Linen clients’ may also request complimentary “Reserved” tent cards. With your approval, we will add your logo to our heavy-stock  tent cards. They work perfectly with your socially distanced tables.

 

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.

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.

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.
