Condiment Bins & Organizers
Condiment organizers provide an accessible place for operators to keep toppings and condiments that customers expect with coffee and highly customizable foods, including hot dogs, hamburgers, and tacos. Condiment racks also are handy in low-space, high-volume operations, such as food trucks or concession stands.
Condiment Bins: What You Need to Know
Instead of trying to make every meal perfectly catered to each individual customer, condiment organizers provide a neat tray of cream and sugar, ketchup and mustard, or relish and hot sauces so customers can create their own preferred combinations. Condiment racks frequently are used to keep back-of-house preparation stations organized, as bins designated for specific toppings speed up service and make dwindling supplies obvious. Transparent condiment organizers enable the operator to see when condiments are running low. Almost all condiment holders are either transparent or open enough for you to see inside, so you can replace your condiments before customers start complaining.
Common Questions About Condiment Organizers
Should I get a modular condiment bin?
Modular condiment organizers are great for establishments that plan to change their offerings frequently. These compartments can be stacked on top of each other, complete with a locking mechanism to hold them in place. If your menu will have shifting condiment requirements, consider going for modular condiment racks to save space when you only need a few condiments. You'll retain the possibility to expand when you need more, but you'll lose some of the aesthetic value of more stylized condiment displays.
What materials are the bins made of?
The majority of our condiment holders are made of plastic, but some are made of wood and others of stainless steel. Stainless steel will be the most durable and last the longest, but it's harder to clean and more expensive upfront than plastic options. Wooden models are less durable than plastic but provide a touch of class to your serving station that plastic ones may not. Plastic models are middle of the road – durable while remaining inexpensive – and are the easiest to maintain. Plastic options come in various styles so operators can find a bin that matches their establishment's theme.
What are the cylindrical holders for?
The vertical, cylindrical holders in this category are intended to hold silverware. These models are helpful in self-serve operations – buffets, concession stands, or food trucks – that need something to hold silverware for customers. Enabling customers to choose their own silverware can save operations a bit of money over handing out disposable silverware with every purchase. If your establishment serves food that doesn't need silverware, such as pizza or hot dogs, having a standing dispenser means only customers that'll use disposable silverware will take some, eliminating unnecessary waste.
