The team of
Table Chat strives to give an excellent service to its
clients. Our fabric, coating and designs are of the highest
quality. We also provide a very good maintenance service to
our restaurants.
Table Chat started in our garage in 2007 as a family
business. Being a very artistic family, painting beautiful
table cloths and ceramics, as well as teaching this craft to
members of the community, we saw an opportunity to market
this. After a great amount of experimenting, we eventually
created a water-based product to coat the table cloths that
rendered them water and stain resistant. Cleaning the cloths
became a very easy process as they only needed to be wiped
off with a damp cloth. Realizing that this product would be
of great value to the restaurant industry, as this
eliminated the expensive process of laundry, we approached
them and marketed our hand painted, coated table cloths, and
these are supplied to the restaurants on a rental basis.
Soon orders were coming in at a fairly rapid rate and this
enabled us to transfer the business from our home’s garage
to a private studio. Possibly the most positive aspect of
our business is that as more business came in, we were able
to employ more people. We consider ourselves to be a
community driven company, which empowers members of our
community, and black women in particular. Our company has
expanded its services to four different cities across South
Africa and is still growing! All of our staff members have
perfected their artistic skills whilst in our employ.
In addition to table cloths, Table Chat also makes products
such as placemats, upholstery and cushions for outdoor
furniture, umbrellas, aprons and, now, a whole exciting
range of bags. |
