How Commercial Condiments & Sauces Work
Commercial condiments and sauces are formulated specifically for food service environments—typically with higher viscosity and concentrated flavours for consistent results. These professional-grade products come in catering-sized containers with precise dispensing systems—from pump bottles and squeezy bottles to bulk containers for back-of-house. Most have extended shelf lives thanks to commercial-grade preservatives, meaning less waste and better inventory management. Many are designed to maintain consistency under heat lamps or in bain-maries without separating or breaking down—perfect for busy service periods when quality and speed matter equally!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Condiments & Sauces
To maximise your condiment investment, store opened containers according to manufacturer instructions—most require refrigeration after opening. For pump dispensers, clean nozzles daily to prevent blockages and contamination. Keep serving stations wiped down regularly and rotate stock using the FIFO method (first in, first out). Consider decanting bulk products into smaller containers for service periods, and pair with appropriate condiment holders designed for commercial use to maintain hygiene standards throughout service.
