Placemat

A placemat is a protective table pad usually made of paper, plastic or cloth for restaurants and households. Their primary function is to protect the dinner table from water marks, food stains or heat damage. They also serve as decoration, especially placemats made from lace or silk. In restaurants they can be used to advertise menu items, specials, and local businesses. They may also have games for children.
