A bar needs more than just alcohol and a bunch of glasses. There are a lot of specialized items that are necessary for a good bar from glass washers to bottle coolers. But there’s a humble product that every bar needs, and that’s a bar caddy.
A bar caddy is a simple piece of equipment that holds things like napkins, coasters, and stirring rods. A typical bar will go through many of these a night. Having them in one spot makes bar operations easy and efficient.
Another type of bar caddy is a bar condiment holder. Cocktails sometimes need a garnish of some kind to complete the drink. A martini isn’t the same without the olive! A bar condiment holder organizes items like lime and lemon wedges, maraschino cherries, and martini olives in one location. Several of our models are chilled to keep condiments fresh.
The costs of these items depends on several factors. A chilled compartment costs more than an unchilled one. A larger compartment costs more than a smaller one, and more compartments also costs more. Bar caddies can be made of plastic or of stainless steel. Fortunately, most bar caddies will run you under $100 and many are under $50. Only extremely high-end models like the San Jamar Ultimate Garnish Center will run higher.
When your bar is busy, you don’t want to end up hunting all over the refrigerator for your lemons, limes, olives, and other garnishes. Keep them all in one place with one of our bar caddies. Your efficiency will go up and your bartender will be much happier.
