- Brand Trust: The Tate & Lyle name adds an immediate touch of quality.
- Storage Footprint: A 1000-count box requires a dedicated dry storage space.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Daily Grind', a popular coffee spot in Leeds, decided to switch from communal sugar bowls to individual portions to improve hygiene and reduce waste. They needed a solution that was both practical and aligned with their quality-first ethos.
"We noticed the difference immediately. The counter stays cleaner, and we're definitely not throwing away sugar like we used to. Customers have even commented on the Fairtrade logo, which is fantastic for us. It’s a small change that has had a noticeable impact."
Robert Finch – Owner
The switch resulted in a reported 25% reduction in sugar usage and significantly improved the speed of service during the morning rush.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, store the main box in a cool, dry storeroom away from strong odours.

- Refill your table or counter dispensers at the start of each day to ensure they always look full and inviting.
- Position them conveniently near your hot drinks station or on every table.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down your sugar holders daily to keep them free from dust and spills.
- Implement a 'First-In, First-Out' (FIFO) system when restocking from your main box.
- Check your main stock levels weekly to plan reordering and avoid running out unexpectedly.
- Keep the main storage box sealed to protect the sticks from dampness.
