Table Caddy Buying Guide

What Exactly is a Table Caddy?

A Table Caddy is the unsung hero of many a bar, restaurant and cafe. Relentlessly going about its business day in day out. Robustly design for knocks and bumps of frequent use.

We define a table caddy as a suitable holder with a handle for condiments, cutlery, glasses and the like that can be easily carried from one table to the next. It needs to securely hold its contents and display them for all to see.

They are also known as:

• Cutlery Caddy
• Bar Caddy
• Condiment Caddy
• Sauce Caddy

Benefits of a Table Caddy

The benefits of a table caddy are as varied as its contents can be:

• Light weight – easily carried around
• Sturdy design – robust enough for everyday frequent use
• A wide range of finishing colours – match your style & brand
• Wide range of functions – versatility provides a solution
• More efficient table service – happier customers
• Faster service for faster turnaround – increase in covers

How many Variations can there be?

What’s in a Table Caddy?

Essentially our table caddies are design to deliver particular contents be they condiments and sauces, cutlery or bottles.

Our large caddies can even be used for carrying beer and wine bottles and glasses to tables. Some can be very specific about their contents and others can be more general.

Hand holds or handles

Whatever they hold they are fundamentally about the ease of carry. They not only need to hold their contents securely but they need to be easily and quickly picked up. This can be either with our comfort grip handle or with hand hold slots on the sides.

Labelling Contents

We also offer caddies with blackboard options on their front face. This provides a convenient customer facing sign to label contents or maybe even have a subtle call to action.

Colours & finishes

We recognise that your branding and styling is very important so our table caddies come with a full range of standard colours and wood stains for you to choose from: (if you don’t find the right colour or finish here we can easily colour match to your specific requirements)

Personalisation

This is an incredibly popular and useful option. It is obviously great for personalising gifts such as the Personalised Rustic Beer Caddy but you can also brand your caddies and/ or have table numbers engraved on them.

Suitable for all establishments

We manufacturer our table caddies in a range of materials from Plywood and Pine to Redwood and Oak.

The different materials offer different styles. Oak offers a finish that works perfectly in high end restaurants and hotels.

What are the Considerations when Choosing a Caddy

They’re quite straight forward but there are a couple of questions you might consider.

• What do I need them for? Are you looking for a specific content holder or a more generalist one that can chop and change?
• How much are you looking to carry? With the different size options you can select one that’s just right for your needs
• What exactly are they carrying? Again another size consideration which needs to take into account tall condiment bottles
• What sort of establishment are they for? A jolly colourful cafe or a high end restaurant – could be a choice between painted pine or classic oak.
