WHAT’S NEW?
The new tableware range is available in six colours: white, grey, cream, midnight blue, burgundy and black, and the placemats have an anti-slip coating that keeps them in place on the table. The existing range of Tork LinStyle Napkins comprises 17 colours. Besides enhancing the look of the restaurant table, Tork Linstyle products can also improve how dishes taste.
TORK LINSTYLE ENHANCES THE DINER’S RESTAURANT
EXPERIENCE Tork manufacturer Essity is helping to improve the diner’s restaurant experience by expanding its range of Tork LinStyle tableware.
New products added to the assortment are table runners, banqueting rolls, slip covers and placemats – all of which complement Essity’s existing Tork LinStyle napkins.
“Tork LinStyle napkins provide the luxurious look and feel of linen while offering all the efficiency of a
CAN EVERY BUILDING
BE SMART? “Smart buildings are not relevant to me,” proclaimed a hospital facility manager struggling with ageing infrastructure and an enormous backlog of maintenance.
That is a surprisingly common perspective. Often the vision of a ‘smart building’ feels a long way off for executives that are managing old facilities and degrading building systems. But can every building be smart or at least smarter?
Verdantix research finds that every building can benefit from some technology – but it needs to be applied very thoughtfully. Facility managers must consider building ownership, lease length, corporate risk appetite and hurdle rates. There at least three applications of technology relevant to all buildings says Susan Clarke, Principal Analyst at Verdantix:
30 | TOMORROW’S FM Susan Clarke Take paper-based processes online
Maintenance mobile apps enable engineers to access asset data while out in the field and continuously log data on work completed. That reduces the use of paper forms and duplicate data entry. Lease management software from vendors such as Accruent, ARCHIBUS, Planon, Spacewell and Trimble is also enabling firms to digitalize paper leases and automate key lease management process.
Smarten up labour
Operate to fail and PPM are common maintenance approaches, but not fully
single-use product,” said UK Sales Manager Jeremy Bennett. “They are significantly softer and bulkier than standard paper products while also being extra absorbent. And this helps restaurants to create a high-end experience that keeps guests coming back for more.
“We’ve had a lot of customer demand for tableware to complement Tork LinStyle napkins. Together with our pre-folded and cutlery bag napkins, these new products provide better table protection and a premium look and feel – while also saving hospitality staff valuable time when setting and clearing tables.”
“Research shows that colours surrounding a dish can significantly affect taste perception,” he said. “In fact, we have teamed up with expert food stylist and chef Linda Lundgren to create a brochure on food and colour pairing to illustrate this.”
According to Linda Lundgren, tableware in rich reds, corals and burgundy will enhance a product’s sweetness whereas midnight blue and aqua colours remove some of the saltiness from a dish. When teamed with gold, mustard and orange- coloured products, the tartness of food items is enhanced.

efficient. The move to condition- based maintenance enables labour to be applied more smartly based on need. This requires a deeper view of asset condition. That can come from manual surveys or fault detection and diagnostics software from vendors such as Envizi, Schneider Electric and Siemens.
Make the workplace engaging for occupants
Employee engagement apps help users with receiving information, voting on temperature preferences, booking services and navigating an office. These can be cost-effective solutions that can quickly bring greater convenience to all occupants, even at the worst building.
