Products for May 2009

CUSTOMER BLEND
Blendtec’s System 3 is a self contained drink system for dispensing blended drinks directly to the consumer at the point of purchase. The consumer places a cup in the blending alcove and pushes a button to select the drink. The S3 does all the work of dispensing ingredients and blending the drink. It sanitizes the blending chamber to prepare for the next consumer. When the drink is ready to serve, the blending alcove rotates back to the customer’s reach. The customer then takes the drink and goes to a checkout to make payment.

NAPKINS WITH TORK
Tork non-woven Premium Dinner Napkins have the upscale look and feel of linen while offering the hygiene and cost advantages of disposable napkins, including no hidden linen service fees or stubborn stains, no replacement fees or laundering costs, and no redundant storage requirements for clean and dirty linens. Foodservice operators have a choice of three premium napkins — a 500-unit box of Flat Pak that is a time saver when rolling up flatware or 300-unit boxes of either the 1/8 Fold or 1/4 Fold to create the look they prefer on their tables. All three varieties are softer, plusher and more absorbent than standard paper napkins. Come in 1/4 and 1/8 fold options. Custom printing in three colours is available.
