Towel steamers are the perfect addition to any Asian restaurant. Traditionally, hot towels, also known as oshibori, are given to customers at Chinese and Japanese restaurants to clean their hands before eating. By offering them to guests in your own restaurant, you submerge yourself in the culture and atmosphere they would find in the Asian countries. These hot towel steamers can be used in other locations, as well, such as barber shops, spas, and hotels.
Towels steamers give you the means to make your guests more comfortable while they’re in your facility. Simply load the compartment with pre-moistened towelettes and they will be heated to above 100 degrees. You can purchase hot towel steamers in a number of different sizes to best accommodate the size of your restaurant. You can even find units with multiple compartments, so you can keep even more towels warm at one time.
Hot towel steamers are perfect for any Chinese or Japanese restaurant that wants to offer their customers a culturally-accurate experience. In these Asian countries, hot towels, or oshibori, are given so that guests may clean their hands before eating. With these units, all you need are some pre-moistened towels and you’ll be on your way to making guests feel warmer and more welcomed.
