Frequently Asked Questions
What industries use bar cutting boards from KaTom?
Our cutting boards are essential for bars, coffee shops, smoothie stations, and juice bars looking for sanitary surfaces to prepare fresh fruit and garnishes.
What is the difference between wood and plastic bar cutting boards?
Plastic boards are typically preferred for commercial bar environments because they are nonporous, dishwasher safe, and often available in color-coded versions to meet strict health department standards.
How do I maintain my cutting boards to prevent bacteria growth?
Most boards are designed to be run through a commercial dishwasher for high-heat sanitation. For maximum safety, boards should be replaced once they develop deep grooves or scoring, which is where bacteria can become trapped.
