- The Upside: The Fairtrade logo is a huge plus for ethically-minded customers.
- A Thought: Paper sachets can get tatty if they get damp, so keep them dry.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Guesthouse in Whitby decided to overhaul its breakfast service and in-room trays to improve hygiene and presentation. They switched from open sugar bowls to these individual sachets.
"Our guests definitely notice the little touches. Moving to the Tate & Lyle sachets just tidied everything up and added a feel of quality. It’s so much less faff for us during the morning rush, and everything looks cleaner."
Robert Mills – Proprietor
The change resulted in consistently positive guest feedback on cleanliness and a noticeable reduction in daily setup time for the breakfast room.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, check the box is sealed and store it in a cool, dry place like a pantry or stockroom.
- Decant a good supply of sachets into clean, dry bowls or dispensers for your service counters.
- Position the sugar dispensers conveniently next to your tea and coffee station for easy customer access.
- Ensure the presentation is tidy – a well-stocked station looks professional and welcoming.
Keeping It Going
- Keep the sachets and their dispensers away from sources of moisture, like steam from a kettle or coffee machine.
- Wipe down the holders or bowls you present them in daily to keep them clean and inviting.
- Restock your front-of-house supply regularly so it always looks full and ready for service.
- Practice good stock rotation – use the oldest boxes first (First In, First Out) to ensure freshness.
