PAPER IN RESTURANTS
Paper, that ever useful resource, in invaluable to this profession. The culinary arts depend heavily upon paper, particularly in the writing of recipies and menus upon the paper.
In resturants, one of the primary uses of paper is out in the dining area, where paper is used to make napkins (SEE Thirty-One Thnigs You Can Do With A Piece Of Paper). Napkins are folded into interesting shapes, such as fans or other origami (SEE Paper in Japan) to appeal to the eye of the diner.
Paper napkins are particularly used in lower-class establishments, because of the cheap, disposiable nature of paper napkins. Fast food chains, such as MacDonalds and KFC use paper napkins and make them available at regular intervals around the room. Resturants such as these do not set tables conventionally, and hence paper napkins found here are self-serve.
Since cloth napkins have a certain prestige attached to them, upper-class resturants tend to use cloth napkins instead of paper napkins. Cloth napkins are more expensive to begin with, an also require washing after use. Cloth napkins are convenient because they don't require constant replacement, but the cost incurred with washing liquid, fabric softenere and labour make paper napkins the cheaper and easier alternative to cloth napkins. Once again paper triumphs.
