Beverage Station Organizers

Common Questions About Beverage Station Organizers

What is a coffee station organizer?

These organizers and caddies keep small items in beverage stations neat and in a visible position. They can be used to hold anything from straws, coffee stirs, and coffee sleeves to sugar packets and condiment bottles. These caddies use small compartments to organize the products, and some of the larger holders even have sections for cups and lids.

What do I need to hold sugar and other drink add-ins?

For sugar, you'll need to provide packets or loose sugar in pourers, servers, or bowls. Sugar caddies hold packets and keep them organized, but if you want to provide more sugar, consider having it available loose in a closed container. This setup gives guests more control over how much sugar they add to their drinks, but it also enables customers to use more and deplete the sugar more quickly. Pourers provide sugar when they are tipped over; many of these units have lids that are activated by push buttons. Servers are the most popular sugar-holding vessels in coffee station organizers, featuring clear bodies and lids with slots. Sugar bowls are the least common because they require guests to spoon sugar out, which often leads to messes.

Squeeze bottles are a popular addition to beverage station organizers because they enable guests to add condiments to food while preparing their drinks. These bottles are often translucent, but we also have classic red ketchup and yellow mustard bottles. A variety of lids are available for these bottles, so they can be customized to suit any application. Lids that screw on make it easy for operators to refill and clean the containers.

If you want to provide more fresh options for your guests, bar top dispensers are a nice addition to your beverage station. These units hold fruit in an accessible position and are most often used for slices of lemon, lime, and orange. Insulation is usually integrated into bar garnish trays to keep cold air around the product, and some come with containers that can be cooled ahead of time.

What types of dispensers do I need near my beverage station organizer?

Having cup and lid dispensers close to your coffee stand organizer ensures guests can easily prepare their drinks. Cup and lid dispensers are sized based on the size of cup or lid they hold and come with many installation options, including placement in or on top of the counter. If you want to maximize counter space, combination cup and lid dispensers keep these items in one compact unit. Typically, combo units sit on the countertop in wire or solid bodies.

Straw dispensers come in many forms, with the most common being closed housing with a push lever that dispenses straws. Many of these dispensers have a basic design, sitting on the countertop with a large opening so guests can select a wrapped straw. Some straw dispensers are integrated into coffee station organizers with cups and lids.

Napkin dispensers can be installed in and on top of counters or on tables. Typically made of metal or plastic, napkin dispensers are designed to withstand high-volume use. Metal dispensers are stronger than plastic units, but they don't provide the same level of visibility.
