by Shane Henson — August 24, 2011—The amount of money procurement managers spend on napkins can be huge, especially for those managing restaurants and large organizations with cafeterias and multiple break rooms. Those needing to reduce costs in this area can do so while also making their eating areas a bit greener through using the Cascades Tissue Group’s ServOne napkins.
The ServOne product offering includes two types of dispensers: a high capacity one for counters that can also be mounted on walls, and a second, more compact one that can be placed on tabletops. Both dispensers double as an advertising vehicle with a window insert feature to display promotions, new menu items, or special events. Easy-to-customize templates are available through the company’s Web site. According to the Cascades Tissue Group, both dispensers are:
More economical: By better controlling the quantity of napkins taken by patrons, waste and cost for restaurant owners can be reduced by up to 25% when compared to traditional napkins/dispensers.
More hygienic: Customers only touch the napkins they take. The innovative dispensing pack can also be directly loaded in a dispenser, further minimizing cross-contamination.
More environmentally preferable: In addition to reducing waste and consumption, Cascades for ServOne white and Moka napkins are also made of 100% recycled fiber and are certified Ecologo and Processed Chlorine Free. Their smaller case size offers a reduced environmental footprint and storage savings of up to 50% when compared to traditional napkins/dispensers.
The Cascades Tissue Group concludes that its ServOne system helps managers of facilities with restaurants, cafeterias, canteens, and other foodservice facilities reduce their costs while having a positive impact on customer satisfaction, and that the hygienic, quality product offering can also enhance the image of their establishment.
