Did you know that your restaurant’s disposables can make or break your customer takeout experience? This blog contains information about the importance of quality containers and disposables for your restaurant. There are so many different factors to consider while you purchase takeout containers. Read on to learn more!

The Importance of High-Quality Disposables

There are various ways to cut costs as a restaurant owner, but ordering the cheapest types of restaurant disposables is not one of them. Investing in something that will be used once and then tossed away might not sound like a smart business move. However, buying quality disposables is a lot more vital than you’d think. When your customers place a carry-out order, they expect the same tasty food in a convenient package that can be taken anywhere at any time. Purchasing quality disposables won’t only prevent spills or leaks on the drive home, but it will also protect the quality of your food.

Picking the Right Takeout Containers

There is a great to-go container for everything on the menu. Choosing the right one for your restaurant will ensure that your customers will have the right experience each time. Takeout containers are typically made up of plastic, PLA, or foam. Besides materials, you should be aware of the different kinds of disposables.

Paper Takeout Containers

Paper takeout containers are typically associated with Chinese carryout food. However, paper containers could be ideal for various kinds of foods since they’re generally microwave-proof. Just like Styrofoam, paper containers also keep in moisture, making them less than perfect for foods that can become soggy. Paper containers are a bit more permeable to heat, which makes them uncomfortable to hold once they contain hot foods. To avoid this problem, some paper boxes are equipped with handles. Hot drink sleeves could be used on paper cups that contain hot drinks and soups. Though the use of paper is typically considered damaging to the planet, most paper containers are very biodegradable, making them a big upgrade from Styrofoam alternatives.
