When was the last time you had a memorable dining experience? When you think about this restaurant, what makes it so significant? Despite what we initially think, it isn't just the food that makes an impact. When we recall a positive dining experience to our friends, every detail matters.

We often talk about creative ways to use butcher paper. Because of its versatility, butcher paper is often used in the food service industry as a sandwich or meat wrap, tray liner and tabletop cover. 

Butchers and grocery store owners know the importance of steak paper to enhance their meat displays. Steak paper makes meat stand out and improves its appearance by using different colors.

How often do you pay attention to the tabletop covers at your favorite restaurant? If they are solid white or black, you probably don’t think twice. As those in the food service industry know, tabletop covers are as important as any other dining feature.
