In many cafes today, coffee or tea arrives with one or more sugar sticks instead of an open sugar bowl. This change has operational reasons that cafe owners know well.
What is a sugar stick?
A sugar stick is a small sealed single pack holding one portion of sugar, which the customer opens and adds to the drink. Tottibone Food Industries and Packaging Company in Homs packs sugar sticks in plain white single sticks, with no logo and no printing, suitable for any cafe or restaurant.
Operational reasons for single sticks
Tidier tables
Each customer takes their own stick instead of sharing an open bowl, so tables stay cleaner with less spilled sugar.
One set portion per stick
Each stick holds one pre-packed portion, helping the cafe estimate what is served with each drink while the customer decides how many sticks to add.
Easier stock counts and ordering
Sugar in countable sticks makes monthly consumption clearer.
Takeaway orders
One or two sticks go into the takeaway bag without extra containers.
Organizing sugar sticks in the cafe
- At the prep station: keep a box of sticks near the barista.
- On tables: use a small holder and refill it regularly.
- At self-service: arrange sticks in a clear container with stirrers and napkins.
- In storage: keep cartons dry, away from humidity and odors, and follow the storage instructions on the pack.
Sugar and coffee together
Some cafes, especially those serving instant coffee or nearby offices, also order coffee sticks. Tottibone packs Tottibone 3-in-1 coffee sticks in sealed single sachets, so both can be ordered from one place.
Estimating your quantity
- Count your average daily hot drinks.
- Estimate how many sticks a customer usually takes.
- Multiply by working days per month and add a seasonal margin.
