Beyond Safety: Touchless Dispensers Support Creativity, Agility and Efficiency

Investing in touchless restaurant technology is a critical step in ensuring safety within a foodservice establishment, especially since customers feel cleanliness and sanitation are the top priority when dining out, rating it as even more important in January 2021 than they did in May 2020.[1] In addition to promoting a clean and sanitary environment, touchless technology, like contactless condiment dispensers, offer additional benefits to culinary creativity, agility and efficiency.

Direct-pour touchless condiment pumps dispense from a jar, rather than a pouch, that can be filled with whatever sauce, dressing or condiment an operation offers on their menu. These dispensers can be filled conveniently from manufacturer cans or containers – there’s no need to source different condiments from your distributor. Whether you purchase condiments in cans or topping/dressing pouches that are not available with fitments, the Direct-Pour Touchless Express gives you the ability to dispense contact-free with greater versatility.

Touchless direct-pour dispensers can also be filled with custom sauces and other signature condiments created from scratch by the back-of-house staff. Customize premade flavors, like ranch, with minimal labor by mixing in on-hand ingredients like roasted garlic or chipotle peppers, or craft a completely scratch sauce like green goddess. While the Direct-Pour Touchless Express can accommodate up to 1.3 gallons of condiment, sauce or topping, it can be filled with a smaller quantity that fits the needs of your operation. Make only what you need for each daypart or to fulfill a special menu item without worrying about wasting fresh ingredients that may not keep. Offer LTOs with ease or simply change your condiment and topping offerings as you update your menu to bring customers exciting, unique offerings.

For dine-in and takeout, many restaurants are serving condiments in to-go cups in order to keep customers safe. This can be a physically exhausting and time-consuming task when using a manual pump. The PerfectSense™ technology used by Touchless Express dispensers allows for completely touch-free dispensing that eliminates cross-contamination. There’s no need for them to exert energy while dispensing, they simply need to hold out a hand over the sensor to dispense the desired portion.

Prioritize safety with touchless technology that enables menu creativity, agility and takes stress off back-of-house staff. Visit the Touchless Express website to view the available units, find an online retailer, or contact a sales rep to submit an order.
