Things to Consider When Purchasing a Soap Dispenser
Use
How often will your soap dispenser be used? If you have a few low-traffic areas, you may want to consider purchasing liquid and foaming hand soap or sanitizer bottles. With push pumps that ensure easy dispensing, the bottles can be placed on bathroom, kitchen, or work-station stainless steel sink for convenience. If you have limited counter or work-station space, you may want to purchase a wall bracket for your soap or sanitizer bottle. Once the bottles are empty, they can simply be thrown away!
Location
When deciding to purchase a soap dispenser, consider where the dispenser will be located. Will it be placed in a tight-fitting area? If so, we have compact, space-saving units that are specifically designed for small restrooms and kitchens. Will you place your dispenser above a sink? Make sure to leave enough room between the sink and the dispenser so your guests can effectively retrieve soap. It is recommended to leave at least 6 inches of room from the bottom of the dispenser to the sink.
Capacity
You may also want to think about the capacity of your soap dispenser. We offer refills and cartridges ranging from 700 mL (23.6 oz.) to 4500 mL (152.2 oz.) and bulk soap by the gallon. If you are planning on adding a dispenser to a low-traffic area, stick with a smaller dispenser to conserve wall space. For high-traffic areas, use a larger dispenser for less refills.

Hand Safety Guide
Hand injuries are the second most frequent injury in the restaurant industry after slips, trips, and falls. OSHA estimates that hand injuries cost the foodservice industry around $300 million a year in workers' compensation and lost work time! Think about the cost of medical care, food waste from contamination, prep work that's interrupted when others stop to help, and the overall distraction to other employees and guests. Such injuries can be limited by equipping your workers with the proper gloves and educating them so that they get used, instead of the closest towel. Our gloves are broken down into three categories: oven mitts and gloves, dishwashing and heavy duty gloves, and cut resistant gloves. Shop All Gloves
