Portion Cups

Portion cups can be utilized in several ways in different foodservice operations. As takeout and delivery have grown more popular, portion cups with lids have become a go-to solution for sending individual servings of condiments, sauces, toppings, and add-ons with off-premises orders. They're also popularly used as condiment cups by food trucks and fast-casual operations to save time by filling containers ahead of time so sauces can be quickly added to each order.

In operations that may send multiple sauces out with a single order, such as a barbecue joint offering a few sauce styles, plastic condiment cups can be written on with a permanent marker to identify what's inside if they can't be distinguished visually. Additionally, if guests request certain toppings on the side, such as jalapenos or nuts, those ingredients can be placed into plastic portion cups so customers can add them as desired.

Because most operations use a large number of portion cups each day, they're sold in bulk by the case to ensure you can easily keep thousands of cups and lids stocked in your commercial kitchen. Portion cups with lids are usually sold separately, so it's important to order the correct lid for your containers.
