What does a red wine stain really cost? In hospitality, it’s not the number of stains that matters, but the cost event: “The tablecloth has to come off.” Once a tablecloth is visibly soiled, replacement, washing, ironing, and handling begin — regardless of whether it was a tiny drip or a major spill.
Especially frustrating are the small, avoidable stains, such as drips running down a bottle when it’s set on the table: not the guest’s fault, no drama — yet still a full laundry cycle. And this is where a factor many underestimate comes into play: margin. When guests “only have a glass,” fixed laundry costs can easily consume the entire profit of that table.
