Distinctive Table Linens » First Impressions Count
Everyone knows that table settings that evoke an exhausted appearance will quickly
turn off guests. Pat Ciaccio, Director of Food and Beverage at the Saddlebrook Resort,
Tampa, discussed how his napery vendor--Milliken--helps him avoid this problem.
Ciaccio says "I use Milliken table linens for two old-fashioned reasons: quality and
service. The product stands alone as it pertains to wear, durability, shrinkage and
color, along with superior service and care you get from the company."
"With Milliken linens dressing your tables, your operation just looks better," he adds.
Milliken has three distinctive linen lines--plus specialty products--to fit unique and
creative hotel applications. Ciaccio continues, "The napery fabrics of Signature plus,
Encore, and Milliken Damask are built to stand up to tough operational requirements.
They (Milliken) carry twenty-five standard colors, but can also match any color you can
dream up."
According to a Milliken spokesperson, no matter what color you want, the product retains
the quality of stain release, absorbency, color retention, and durability.
Ciaccio explains, "We switched from several blends. Milliken has saved us money because
of the longevity of the fabric while allowing us to have a superior product for our guests,
which in the end is the most important reason for using Milliken."
