Frequently Asked Questions

Bar trays are an essential part of professional beverage service for busy hospitality environments. Whether you're serving cocktails, soft drinks or hot beverages, the right bar tray can improve service, reduce spills and enhance the customer experience. Below, we've answered some of the most commonly asked questions about bar trays.

What are bar trays?

Bar trays are serving trays designed to safely carry drinks, glassware, bottles and beverages during service. Commonly used in bars, restaurants, hotels and hospitality venues, they provide a stable surface for transporting multiple drinks while helping to reduce spills and improve service efficiency. Available in a range of shapes and sizes, bar trays are an essential piece of bar equipment.

Why use a non-slip bar tray?

Non-slip bar trays feature a rubberised surface that helps keep glasses, bottles and drinks securely in place while being carried. This helps reduce spills, minimise breakages and improve safety during service, making them a popular choice for bars, restaurants, hotels and hospitality venues.

What size bar tray do I need?

The ideal bar tray size depends on the number and type of drinks you serve. Smaller bar trays are perfect for individual orders and cocktails, while larger serving trays are better suited to carrying multiple drinks, bottles or mixed orders during busy service. Commercial bar trays are available in a range of round and rectangular sizes, so it's important to choose a tray that suits your venue.
