Frequently Asked Questions

Which industries use bar drinkware from KaTom?

Our drinkware is essential for restaurants, bars, event venues, healthcare facilities, catering operations, and anywhere requiring professional-grade durability and high-impact presentation.

What is the difference between annealed and tempered glassware?

Tempered glassware undergoes a thermal process that makes it significantly stronger than standard annealed glass. If it does break, it typically shatters into small, less jagged pieces, which is safer in busy bar environments.

How do I choose between glass and plastic drinkware for my bar?

Assess your environment and guest safety needs. Glass offers a premium feel and superior scratch resistance for indoor lounges, while BPA-free plastic or polycarbonate is ideal for outdoor patios, nightclubs, and poolside service where breakage is a major liability.
