What are restaurant placemats?
Restaurant sets or, as they are also called, placemat, are paper, less frequently fabric, underlay for tableware and cutlery. They protect the tabletop from damage, become decoration and provide the guest with essential information. Sometimes the word "placemat" is used, which refers to the same product, but restaurateurs still prefer to say "set".
What it is worth to print on placemats.
In Kiev, as well as all over Ukraine, it is becoming an increasingly popular tool in the restaurant business. It is no longer just furniture protection, but an element of a marketing campaign and a way to increase sales. We advise to print on the placemats:
- seasonal menus or individual items of food that need to be promoted;
- promotional or special offers, terms and conditions for discounts;
- establishment's contacts and information about the establishment and its concept;
- thematic decorations that continue the theme of the venue's interior;
- puzzles, or coloring books to entertain visitors while waiting for their order.
A little tip: If you print a QR code on the placemat, it will become interactive and therefore more interesting to the audience and more profitable for you.
