Cafeterias, colleges, health care facilities, and institutions can all benefit from using drop-in dish dispensers. These units fit inside your cabinets, and the dispenser sticks out of the top of your table. This way, guests can grab a plate straight from the dispenser for faster service, and you can hide unsightly stacks of dishes. You can also create a hole for the dispenser in your serving table, so you can keep dishes conveniently close to your food.
Choose from heated or unheated drop-in dish dispensers to suit your serving preferences. If you keep plates near your hot food station, you can use a heated dispenser to warm up dishes before use. The warm dishes will help your foods stay warm, and preheating them will prevent thermal shock. Use unheated dispensers at your salad bar or cold buffet station, too. We have dispensers to accommodate all different sizes of plates for added convenience.
Drop-in dish dispensers are discreet, making them ideal for banquet halls and conference centers that want to maintain a formal appearance. Simply cut a hole into your serving table and insert the dispenser into the cabinet. The dispenser will remain visible outside your cabinet, so you just need to fill it with dishes to start service. As customers take plates, the dispenser will continue lifting the dishes upward, so each guest can access one. For more buffet equipment, check out our
