Teaspoons are a necessary and fundamental tool for any restaurant that prides itself on providing excellent customer service. These small utensils come in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, silver, and plastic. Their primary function is to measure small amounts of loose ingredients like sugar or salt. In addition to their practical use, teaspoons can also enhance the presentation of a dish. A well-placed teaspoon on the edge of a dessert plate can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any meal. A restaurant that pays attention to the small details, such as the presentation of teaspoons, can set themselves apart from their competitors and create a memorable dining experience for their customers. It is important for restaurants to have an ample supply of teaspoons on hand, as they can easily get lost or damaged over time. A shortage of teaspoons can lead to frustration for both customers and staff, negatively impacting the overall dining experience. Therefore, it is recommended that restaurants regularly restock their supply of teaspoons to avoid any shortages. In conclusion, teaspoons may seem like a small and insignificant item, but they play a crucial role in the functioning and success of any restaurant. By investing in quality teaspoons and paying attention to their presentation and supply, restaurants can improve customer satisfaction and set themselves apart from their competitors.

Teaspoons
Average teaspoon size is approximately 5-1/2 to 6-1/4 inches, depending upon the manufacturer and the flatware pattern. A teaspoon's bowl is more or less oval in shape and is designed for stirring tea or other liquids in a relatively smaller hot beverage cup such as a teacup or coffee cup. A teaspoon is smaller than both a tablespoon and a dessert spoon.
In practice, a teaspoon is typically used in informal dining, for not only stirring hot beverages such as tea or coffee, but also for eating ice cream and other desserts, for sipping clear broth soups, and for eating more solid foods such as stews. However, other specialty restaurant spoons are designed for these same purposes, with the teaspoon primarily brought out for use with tea and coffee. Many restaurant flatware collections include teaspoons as part of the standard place settings, although it is not used for more formal occasions.
Note that a restaurant teaspoon is NOT equal to the standard unit of measure called the teaspoon, which is precisely 5 mL, and most flatware sets have a teaspoon that can range in capacity from 2.5 mL to 6 mL. RestaurantSupply.com has teaspoons manufactured from several grades of stainless steel, with varying degrees of shine and corrosion resistance. You may purchase restaurant teaspoons in boxed quantities, although boxes of specific collections will vary in total number of spoons included, depending upon the manufacturer and the teaspoon size and pattern.
