Tight budgets, forces us to think like our brains are on fire. My dearest friend Tsivia, in the South of France, use to say, "Use What's You've Got"!  

A great way to save money, and stir up some holiday visuals for your foodery, is to change your roll up table napkins, into beautiful table artistry.  It's easy and won't cost you a dime, with the exception of some extra elbow grease.  We all know that never hurt anyone.

Suggestions:
~ Make sure your napkins are clean, stain free and without any worn holds or frayed edges.

~ Iron them.  Yes, I said, "iron them".  With all the lag time in restaurants, your servers can focus on some quality time and it won't hurt their gratuities one single bit.  In fact it will help them.

~ Make sure all the folds are even and ends come together.
