IMC Silverware Dispenser: The Ultimate Cutlery Organizer
If you’ve ever been to a restaurant, you are no doubt familiar with silverware. Silverware is so common that it sometimes needs to be placed in a dispenser for quick access. Therefore, you will need a dedicated silverware dispenser in most foodservice operations that require high-volume storage opportunities.
In this article, we’ll go over the 3 advantages of having a silverware dispenser in your establishment & go over IMC’s own offering to aid in your search. Let’s begin.
What’s the Real Advantage?
A. Organization
Knives, forks, spoons, straws, etc. are essential tabletop fixtures. Silverware dispensers consist of cylinders (made of nylon or stainless steel) which hold these important flatware items. Depending on the intent, a silverware dispenser can be used in the front of house or back, but either way it keeps silverware neat & organized.
To make the most out of your silverware dispenser, it’s advised to keep different types of flatware & utensils in separate cylinders. By keeping the dispenser neat, you ensure stored pieces are easy to find & access.
B. Protection
No guest wants to pick up a knife & find out that it’s been dulled down or even bent. Silverware dispensers actually help in keeping your flatware protected against abuse by acting as a home for your cutlery while not in use.
Having your cutlery sprawled out over a worktable or condiment area is not the best way to present your flatware to guests. Laying your cutlery out in a disorderly fashion also increases the chance of wear & tear which can lead to costly replacements.
C. Versatility
Silverware dispensers are designed for employee & patron use. In particular, stainless steel silverware dispensers have an attractive, customer-friendly look so guests will be encouraged to use them. While some may have an industrial look, stainless steel is the most sanitary & provides the best durability for frequent usage. Many plastic silverware dispensers simply do not stand the test of time.
Because of their versatility, they can be used almost anywhere in the dining area, from dishrooms to self-serve counters. Utilize your silverware dispenser in a way that makes sense for your business.
