Update International was founded over 30 years ago, as a small manufacturer specializing in coffee serving supplies and flatware. Today, the company manufactures and distributes worldwide, and is now a one-stop shop for kitchen tools like bar accessories, bakeware, cookware, and food prep supplies. We stock over 300 items from Update (meaning same-day shipping) and with a New Year comes the need to stock up and fill your kitchen with everything you need for the next 12 months.
Follow along as we explore different parts of your restaurant that could probably use an update from Update. From steam pans to French Presses, Update’s got the kitchen supplies you need to start 2016 with a bang.
Coffee Bar
Room for cream? No one likes saying “yes” to that and then using worn and busted creamers or spice shakers. Enhance your self-serve coffee station with new shakers or cream and coffee servers from Update. We especially like the stainless steel vacuum insulated options which boast holding temperatures for up to 8 hours.
If you only serve coffee and espresso in your establishment, know that an easy way to expand your offerings is with fresh juice, iced tea, or toddy (cold-brewed coffee). Use any of Update’s cold beverage dispensers to create a fresh new look on your coffee bar or breakfast buffet. And if that’s not in the works for you this year, we always have good ole coffee airpots and even French Presses from Update as well.
Kitchen
Don’t run out of clean kitchen tools in the heat of the moment. Update’s offering of necessities for the kitchen are both durable and affordable, making them the perfect choice to gear up for the new year.
Sauce Cups
You can never have too many stackable sauce cups handy when servers come yelling for extra ketchup. Stock up quick with these affordable yet durable stainless steel cocktail sauce cups.
Steam Pans
Always good to have extra steam pans lying around! Update’s steam pans are made of stainless steel and are a great price point for stocking up or adding new sizes to your inventory.
Cookware
A popular choice for industrial kitchens, Update pans are truly built to last. If you don’t already have Update pans on your line, try them out this 2016. If you do, why not add some new sizes to your collection (since we know your old ones won’t need to be replaced any time soon).
Drain Basket
Sounds random, but it (literally) stinks for dishwashers or prep cooks to be left unable to securely close the drain in their 3-compartment sinks. This little guy fits a 1 ½ in opening (less common) and could solve many problems.
Scouring pads
What is a dishwasher’s nightmare? Tools that don’t do the job right. And a dishwasher’s dream? Scouring pads from Update.
Tabletop
A great way to refresh your restaurant’s look is with new flatware and accessories for the table.
Flatware
Update has numerous classic flatware options at great prices, plus we offer bulk discounts for a majority of these styles! All are made using heavy weight chrome or are lined in chrome, making them both durable and classy.
Lighting
Check out these LED candle sets from Update. Choose from a 6-pack or 12-pack of rechargeable LED candles, candle globes, and a recharging station for the candles. Cute and eco-friendly!
Signage
Make your marketing message pop with your own artwork and communication. The creative possibilities are endless when it comes to marketing through tabletop, floor, and sidewalk signage. You could create a mini “Upcoming Events” page and pop it into a plastic menu holder for table tops, or whip out the paint pens and get crafty with one of these write-on signs from Update!
We hope you found this guide to Update International a helpful tool to gearing up for what’s going to be a great year. Visit here to see all the restaurant necessities we offer from Update and have a great start to 2016. Cheers!
