Common Questions About Condiment Dispensers

Should I get decorative or utilitarian condiment servers?

Condiment dispenser designs range from elegant to functional and everywhere in between. If you plan on having your dispensers on display at your tables, you'll need to choose a design that fits the aesthetic of your establishment. On the other hand, if you'll be keeping the dispensers in the food prep area, there's no need to spend extra money on attractive options, as customers won't see them. Many of our commercial condiment dispensers should be used on the table, such as butter servers, sugar pourers, and salad dressing bottles. Others, such as clear squeeze bottles, are meant for back-of-house use to speed up food preparation. Consider who will be using each piece before making a purchase.

What type of condiment organizers are available?

Condiment organizers are particularly useful for setting up self-service stations. Coffee stations need a place to store the different creamers and sweeteners the establishment offers, and concession stands need locations for ketchup, mustard, and relish to put on hot dogs. Condiment dispensers provide necessary storage space in a compact footprint while also keeping your establishment tidy. KaTom carries condiment servers that range from small, three section self-serve systems to twelve-bin units offering plenty of storage and variety. The materials vary as well, with simple plastic options alongside stainless steel and wooden models – though the best choice of material and style depends on the nature of your establishment. A ballpark concession stand wouldn't need finished wooden organizers, while an upscale hotel might want something a bit more elegant than plain black plastic. Consider the number of options you wish to provide your customers, and then choose a model that fits the aesthetic of your establishment.

How do whipped cream dispensers work?

Whipped cream dispensers use compressed gas to force cream through a diffuser that whips it to the appropriate consistency, and accompanying chargers replenish the spent compressed gas. Because of the high pressure required to dispense the whipped cream, these units are always made of metal. However, several nozzle types are available, so you can produce unique shapes and designs with your whipped cream, enabling you to be creative in serving your customers.

Why would I need a salad dressing bottle?

Restaurants that want to make their own salad dressings need somewhere to store their creations, as well as a convenient way for customers to use them. Our selection of salad dressing bottles gives operators a choice of styles to match with their establishment and unique dressings. Transparent options – whether they are glass or plastic – enable you to see when dressing is running low rather than waiting for a customer to request more.
