Restaurants, cafeterias, commercial kitchens, and food processing facilities need dispensing solutions that prioritize hygiene, speed, and durability. Health code compliance adds another layer — hand washing stations must be properly equipped. This guide covers the complete specification for front-of-house (dining area), back-of-house (kitchen), and restroom.


Front of House — Dining Area

Napkin Dispensers

Primary: 4400-10 (Napkin Dispenser with Stand)

  • Freestanding unit with built-in stand, Pearl Black

  • Height: 22" — visible on buffet lines, condiment stations, and self-service areas

Compact alternative: 4350-10 (Compact Table-Top)

  • For smaller tables or quick-service counter placement

Standard table-top: 4300-10

  • Has advertisement/promotion display slots

Napkin paper: P2N2 (2ply+ V-fold, White) or P2N2L (Latte). Draco's 2ply makes the V-fold extra soft — a larger unfolded napkin for any meal occasion.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What soap does health code require for kitchen hand washing?

Most health codes require anti-bacterial soap at food prep hand wash stations. Draco's ESO-006 (Anti-Bacterial Lotion Soap) meets this requirement. For foam, ESO-002 (Anti-Bacterial Foam) works with the 0.8ml platform.

Can we use foam soap in the kitchen?

Yes, but check local health code. Some jurisdictions require lotion/liquid soap at food prep stations. Foam is typically fine for customer restrooms.

What's the most cost-effective setup for a small restaurant?

Restroom: 2100-5 (foam soap) + 3300-5 (multifold) + 3500-5 (JRT) + 3100-2 (seat cover). Dining: 4400-10 (napkin dispenser). Kitchen: 1550-5 (hand wash) + EZW60-PC (cleaning wipes). Total: 7 dispensers covering all areas. ---
