Table Accessories

Commercial table accessories create an organised setting and support efficient service.

Table accessories are a small but important part of the equipment used in restaurants, hotels, cafés, bars, bistros and other hospitality venues. They give guests convenient access to cutlery, napkins, condiments, oil and vinegar while helping staff prepare tables, present information and organise service.

The Table-Line range includes menu and receipt holders, cutlery baskets and caddies, napkin holders, condiment racks, mills and shakers, table signs, tablecloth clips, tabletop waste bins and other practical accessories. Different materials, dimensions and styles make it possible to coordinate the accessories with the interior and serving concept.

Which table accessories does your hospitality venue need?

Base your selection on the style of service, menu and available table space:

• Menu and card holders provide an organised way to display the menu, daily specials, table number or other information. The 75 × 200 mm Menu Card Stand is suitable for taller cards.
• Cutlery organisers keep knives, forks, spoons, napkins and other essentials together. The Menu and Cutlery Box has four compartments and an integrated board on both sides.
• Condiment caddies keep frequently used items in one place. The 140 × 105 × 190 mm Condiment Caddy has a wooden handle and matt black powder-coated finish.
• Oil, vinegar, salt and pepper sets allow guests to adjust a dish to their preference. The Oil and Vinegar Set with two bottles includes a holder, glass bottles and pouring tops.
• Table signs identify reserved tables, table numbers and other information. The Reserved Table Sign provides a clear indication without taking up excessive table space.
• Napkin holders keep napkins organised and within easy reach. A compact option is the 170 × 30 × 70 mm Napkin Holder.
• Table-setting accessories include tablecloth clips, tabletop waste bins and receipt holders. Stainless steel tablecloth clips help keep a tablecloth in position.

Menu holders and table signs communicate important information clearly.

Menu holders can display the main menu, daily specials, wine list, desserts, QR codes or reservation information. Before ordering, check the size and orientation of the card, the amount of information being displayed and the method used to secure it.

Clip-style stands and easy-insert holders are practical when the content changes frequently. Wooden menu clipboards and larger holders are also available for more extensive menus.

Reserved signs and table numbers support organised restaurant service, events and banquets. The range also includes informational table and door signs. Select wording, symbols and dimensions that are suitable for the intended application.

Cutlery organisers reduce table-preparation and clearing time.

Cutlery baskets, boxes and caddies keep cutlery, napkins and other essentials together. They can be used on individual tables, at self-service stations, on terraces, during catering events or as a portable organiser for serving staff.

Select a compact design for an individual table. Models with several compartments and a handle are more practical for self-service areas and larger groups. The 260 × 180 × 150 mm Cutlery Basket is available in different colours.

Consider the types of cutlery, the quantity of napkins and the required refilling frequency. The organiser should leave sufficient room for plates, glasses and serving dishes.

Condiment caddies keep table essentials visible and accessible.

Condiment racks can hold salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, sauces, toothpicks, sugar sachets and other small items. Keeping them together makes it easier for staff to move, refill or replace the complete set.

Compare the internal dimensions of the caddy with the bottles and containers you intend to use. Some stands are supplied without the accessories shown in product photographs, while complete oil and vinegar sets may include bottles and pouring tops.

Wooden pepper mills complement traditional and rustic table settings, while black metal caddies create a more contemporary appearance. Coordinating materials and colours across all tables produces a consistent presentation.

The material affects the appearance and maintenance of each accessory.

• Stainless steel is used for selected holders, stands, clips and table accessories and is suitable for frequent hospitality use.
• Wood gives cutlery boxes, menu holders and mills a warmer appearance. Follow the cleaning instructions and avoid unnecessary soaking.
• Glass makes the contents of oil and vinegar bottles visible and easy to monitor.
• Polypropylene is lightweight and practical for cutlery baskets and organisers.
• Porcelain is used for selected salt and pepper sets and can be coordinated with the tableware.
• Powder-coated metal surfaces create a contemporary finish but should be cleaned without abrasive tools that could damage the coating.

Products made from several materials may have different care requirements for individual components.

Match the size of table accessories to the available space.

Measure the usable table area after arranging the plates, glasses, cutlery and serving dishes. Accessories should not obstruct service, conversation or the safe placement of tableware.

One compact organiser may be sufficient on a small café table. A larger restaurant or hotel table can accommodate separate holders for menus, condiments and napkins. On long communal tables, position several sets so that every guest can reach them comfortably.

Also consider stability. Tall and narrow stands require a suitable base, particularly outdoors or on tables that are moved frequently.

Regular cleaning maintains an organised and professional presentation.

Empty table accessories regularly and remove crumbs, food residue, dust and spilled liquids. Pay particular attention to compartments, joints, handles and other areas where residue may collect.

Check dishwasher suitability for every product. Wooden components, powder-coated surfaces and multi-material products may require manual cleaning. All items should be completely dry before they are returned to service.

Clean components that come into contact with oil, vinegar, condiments or food according to the product instructions and the venue’s hygiene procedures. Menu, receipt and sign holders are not automatically intended for direct food contact.

Plan quantities according to the number of tables and style of service.

Accessories that remain permanently on the table generally require at least one set for every active table. Include a suitable reserve for cleaning, replacement, larger groups and changes to the table layout.

At self-service stations, position cutlery, napkins and condiments at several accessible points to reduce congestion. For catering and events, select organisers that are easy to carry, refill and store.

Table-Line can help you assemble a coordinated combination of menu holders, cutlery organisers, condiment caddies, table signs and other accessories. When requesting a proposal, include the number of tables, type of venue, style of table setting and intended use.
