Restaurant Glass Pitchers: What You Need to Know

Glass pitchers come in numerous sizes and styles, enabling operators to find the exact piece they want but making it difficult to choose one. Glass is a great choice for drink pitchers because it provides a touch of elegance along with swift cleaning, but if the pitcher is dropped, it's likely to shatter.

Glass pitchers usually are more expensive than plastic options, but they convey a higher tier of meal quality and elegant table service to your guests. Fine dinnerware can increase the amount your guests expect to pay for their meal, which means you can consider increasing your menu prices. Of course, adding a glass tea pitcher to your service won't instantly make your restaurant classier, but they do fit as a solid piece of an elegant ensemble.

Common Questions About Glass Pitchers

What are the benefits of a glass pitcher?

When compared to most other table setting pieces, restaurant glass pitchers are unique. Rather than melamine, plastic, or stainless steel, glass is a clear, solid, and heavy material. The solidness of glass provides a more serious feel than light plastics and fits in with rustic or traditional aesthetics. Clear glass is also practical, as your servers can see exactly how much beverage is left in the container. Glass is simpler to clean than some plastic options because most can be cleaned in a commercial dishwasher. This means you won't add more work to your handwashing routine, saving money on labor over the life of the piece.

What style of pitcher do I need?

Our collection of pitchers provides foodservice operators various styles to match the needs of their establishment. We carry glass tea pitchers, glass pitchers with lids, and an array of different sizes and shapes. Some options even have colored glass, adding a splash of visual intrigue to an elegant table setting. Consider the volume of the pitcher – if your chief concern is efficiency, a larger pitcher will enable servers to fill more glasses without returning to the drink station. If aesthetics is your most important detail, choose the pitcher that fits the look you're going for.

Do I need a glass pitcher with lid?

Lids keep your beverages free of contaminants while waiting to be served. If your pitchers will sit around between uses, a lid is a great way to prevent potential pests, dust, and debris from getting into them. Glass pitchers with lids can also bring a unique aesthetic to your establishment, as they're very uncommon.
