Professional commercial laundry for Dallas restaurants, catering companies, bars, and food service operations. Chef coats, aprons, napkins, tablecloths, bar towels, and kitchen linens. 24-48 hour turnaround, free pickup and delivery, no contracts.
Dallas Restaurants Trust Us with Their Front and Back of House Linens
Restaurant linens are high-turn, high-abuse, and high-visibility. Grease-soaked chef coats, wine-stained tablecloths, food-stained napkins, and bar towels that smell like beer after one shift. In-house laundry can't keep up without tying up staff and destroying your back-of-house workflow.
Dallas Commercial Laundry handles laundry for fine dining restaurants, casual dining, fast-casual chains, catering companies, bars, breweries, food trucks, and country clubs across the DFW metroplex.
You keep ownership of your linens. We pick them up on your schedule, process them through commercial equipment with grease and food-stain pre-treatment, and deliver them back crisp, clean, and folded within 24-48 hours.
Free pickup and delivery. No long-term contracts. Volume pricing for multi-location operators.
What We Clean for Restaurants and Food Service
We handle every textile your operation uses:
•Kitchen and back of house. Chef coats, cook shirts, prep aprons, kitchen towels, side towels, grill towels, oven mitts (cloth), and kitchen rags.
•Front of house. Server aprons, host uniforms, button-downs, polos, and branded staff apparel.
•Table linens. Tablecloths in every standard size (30x30, 54x54, 72x72, 90x90, 120" round), cloth napkins, table runners, and overlays.
•Bar and beverage. Bar towels, bar mats (cloth), drink aprons, and bartender towels.
•Catering and events. Catering linens, server jackets, event aprons, and banquet linens.
If it gets worn in your kitchen, laid on your tables, or used behind your bar, we clean it.
Grease and Food Stain Removal
Restaurant laundry is specialty work. Grease, oil, wine, coffee, red sauce, and blood stains require specific pre-treatment or they set permanently. Standard wash cycles don't cut through kitchen grease. Bar towels that smell like beer don't come out fresh from a normal rinse.
Here's how we handle restaurant-specific stains:
•Grease and oil pre-treatment. Chef coats, kitchen towels, and back-of-house linens go through a commercial degreasing treatment before the main wash cycle. Cuts through fryer oil, bacon grease, butter, and cooking oil residue.
•Wine and red stain treatment. Tablecloths, napkins, and server aprons with wine, marinara, or berry stains get specialty pre-treatment. Red stains come out without fading the fabric.
•Blood and protein stains. Kitchen linens exposed to raw meat or blood get enzyme-based pre-treatment that breaks down protein stains before they set.
•Odor removal. Bar towels, grill towels, and kitchen rags absorb smells fast. Our high-temperature wash with commercial deodorizers neutralizes odors so your linens come back fresh, not just clean.
•Commercial brighteners. White chef coats and tablecloths stay white cycle after cycle with commercial-grade brighteners. No yellowing, no graying, no premature linen replacement.
Catering and Banquet Laundry
Catering companies and banquet operations have a different laundry profile than restaurants. High-volume bursts tied to event calendars. Tight turnarounds between Friday night weddings and Saturday morning corporate events. Large tablecloth and napkin inventories that need fast cycle times.
Here's how we support catering operators:
•Event-driven scheduling. We build your pickup and delivery schedule around your event calendar. Back-to-back weekend events get back-to-back service.
•Large-format linens. We process tablecloths up to 120" round and banquet lengths without folding marks or creasing. Your linens come back event-ready.
•Color-matched returns. Multiple linen colors processed separately. Burgundy tablecloths don't bleed onto ivory napkins, white linens don't pick up color from black table runners.
•Volume pricing for high-frequency operators. If you run 10+ events per month, you get per-event pricing that beats standard per-pound rates.
We serve catering companies, banquet halls, event venues, and country clubs across Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Southlake, and the full DFW market.

Why Restaurants Choose Us Over Linen Rental Companies
Most Dallas restaurants start with a linen rental company (Cintas, Aramark, Alsco) and switch once they realize what they're actually paying for.
•You own your linens, not them. Rental companies lock you into their inventory. If you switch providers, you lose everything. With us, you own your linens forever.
•No hidden loss and damage fees. Rental companies charge you for every missing napkin and stained tablecloth. We clean what you own and return what you send. No surprise invoices.
•Branded linens stay yours. Custom-embroidered chef coats, branded aprons, logo'd server shirts. Rental companies won't touch branded apparel. We process your branded linens the same as everything else.
•Transparent per-pound pricing. No weekly service fees, delivery surcharges, fuel fees, environmental fees, or minimum charges buried in the contract. What we quote is what you pay.
•Month-to-month service. Rental companies lock you into 3-5 year contracts with automatic renewals. We earn the business every week.
Turnaround Times
•Standard service. 24-48 hour turnaround on pickup to delivery.

What Dallas Restaurant Operators Say
"We were paying Cintas almost $3,000 a month for linen rental and losing our minds over loss fees. Switched to Dallas Commercial Laundry, bought our own linens, and cut our monthly costs by 40%. The kicker: our chef coats look better than the rented ones did."
— Chef Marcus R., Fine Dining Restaurant, Uptown Dallas
"Running a catering company, weekend turnaround is everything. Friday night wedding, Saturday morning corporate event, Sunday brunch. These guys handle all three without a hiccup."
— Samantha W., Catering Company, Dallas
"Grease on chef coats was killing our laundry budget. We were buying new coats every 6 months. Since switching, our coats are lasting 18+ months and still look crisp."
— Executive Chef Eric T., Restaurant Group, Plano

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Every restaurant load goes through a commercial degreasing pre-treatment before the main wash cycle. Fryer oil, bacon grease, butter, cooking oil, and kitchen grease get broken down before the main wash. This is the difference between chef coats that last 18+ months and coats that get replaced every 6 months.
