Frequently Asked Questions
What industries use bar trash chutes and receptacles from KaTom?
Our waste solutions are essential for bars, coffee shops, juice bars, stadium concessions, and anywhere that requires fast, sanitary disposal of prep waste and refuse.
How do I install a bar trash chute?
Most heavy-duty chutes are "drop-in" style, requiring a precise cutout in your countertop. They feature a self-rimming design that sits flush with the surface, and they should be positioned directly over a larger receptacle hidden within the bar cabinetry.
What is the best way to maintain stainless steel chutes?
To prevent staining and maintain the finish, chutes should be wiped down daily. For high-volume bars, using a chute with a grommet or liner can help protect the edges from repetitive impact.
