Behind The Scenes: Part 2 Down and Dirty

Part 2  Down and Dirty

Once the the dinner guest is through, the napkin's journey back to the table has just begun.  After the restaurant staff have finished clearing off the table for the next guest, the napkins are placed in a linen bag, where they stay until the United Linen driver comes back by with a delivery of fresh linen.

When the United Linen driver (we call them Customer Service Reps) shows up with a new set of linen for the restaurant, the linen bags full of soiled linen are picked up and loaded onto route trucks.  All the products picked up by United Linen are transported back to the production facilities in Bartlesville, OK.  Before the napkin makes it back to the restaurant's table, it is conceivable that the napkin travels round trip over 300 miles.

For example purposes we are talking about the journey of a napkin as if the napkin from a specific restaurant were returning to the same restaurant.  In the real world, specific napkins are not designated to a particular business.  

Tomorrow...the napkin comes clean.
