Summer Savings Start Here: How to Cut Costs and Waste

 

Summer is a high-demand season in foodservice, and with it comes the need to operate smarter. With increased guest volume, patio seating, and higher staff turnover, efficient tools can help your operation run more smoothly while controlling costs and minimizing waste.

 

Cascades, a proudly Canadian-owned company, offers a smart, long-term solution with Cascades PRO Perform® Interfold Napkins, paired with Cascades PRO Tandem® dispensers. More than just a seasonal switch, this combination is designed for foodservice environments that prioritize performance, responsibility, and results.

 

Why Your Napkin Choice Matters More Than You Think

Napkins are often overlooked as a cost driver. But they play a larger role than just cleaning hands or containing spills. In high-volume service areas, napkin overuse leads to excess waste, frequent refills, and inflated operational costs.

 

Cascades PRO Perform® Interfold Napkins are designed to help solve these challenges. They’re durable and purpose-built for fast-paced environments.

 

What makes these napkins different?

  • Made from 100% recycled fibre, they are also CMA certified (The Compost Manufacturing Alliance), meaning they meet the criteria for industrial and municipal composting facilities.[1]
  • Available in white or natural, they offer an attractive presentation that complements your brand image.
  • They combine absorbency and strength, so fewer napkins are needed per use.

By switching to a product that does more with less, you help reduce both your environmental footprint and your supply costs.

 

 

How the Dispenser Supports Operational Efficiency

The design of the napkin—specifically how it’s dispensed—can impact how much your customers use. Traditional bulk napkins invite users to grab multiple at once, often more than they need. This leads to unnecessary waste and higher replenishment frequency.

 

Although the napkin is the central player, the Cascades PRO Tandem® Interfold Napkin Dispenser supports it with functional design:

  • Dispenses one napkin at a time, reducing consumption.
  • Keeps napkins clean and protected until use, enhancing hygiene.

When paired with Cascades PRO Perform® Napkins, the dispenser becomes an all-in-one solution that addresses hygiene and operations.

 

 

What You Gain by Making the Switch

When you choose Cascades PRO Perform® Interfold Napkins, you’re investing in a smarter system that helps your operation:

✅ Reduce waste and consumption

✅ Lower refill frequency and labor time

✅ Support corporate sustainability goals

✅ Improve hygiene and customer satisfaction

 

 

Make This Summer a Smarter One

Now is the time to rethink the everyday tools that keep your foodservice business running. With Cascades PRO Perform® Interfold Napkins, you're not just switching a product—you’re improving how your operation runs.
