🧼 Stainless Steel Chopstick Tin 5" — Compact, Hygienic & Hospitality-Ready

Keep chopsticks tidy, sanitary, and within easy reach with the Stainless Steel Chopstick Tin 5". Built for New Zealand cafés, noodle bars, sushi trains, food trucks, and busy family kitchens, this compact stainless holder delivers professional durability in a small footprint—perfect for benchtops, pass counters, condiment stations, and table caddies.

With a 5-inch (≈12.7 cm) height, a smooth rolled rim, and an easy-clean brushed finish, it’s the simple, long-life way to organise chopsticks (and other slim utensils) while presenting a crisp, consistent front-of-house look. From Auckland CBD lunch rushes to cosy Wellington ramen spots and Christchurch catering set-ups, this tin keeps service moving and surfaces uncluttered.

✨ Product Description: Small Footprint, Big Practicality

Made from food-grade stainless steel, the Chopstick Tin resists rust, knocks, and daily wipe-downs. Its cylindrical profile holds a full table’s worth of chopsticks without toppling, and the rolled lip protects fingers and edges while adding rigidity.

• Hygienic surface: Non-porous stainless won’t absorb flavours or odours and tolerates hot water, sanitisers, and commercial dishwashers.
  
• Service-smart height: At 5" high, the tin keeps chopstick tips protected below the rim while leaving enough handle exposed for quick grab-and-go service.
  
• Clutter-free counters: A compact, stable base fits snugly on condiment rails, POS shelves, or tray liners without crowding glassware and menus.
  
• Multipurpose use: Ideal for chopsticks, stirrers, reusable straws, long teaspoons, tasting spoons, or slim utensils in prep areas.
  
• Consistent presentation: The brushed stainless finish pairs cleanly with timber tables, black caddies, marble counters, and melamine ware.
  

Note: Dimensions may vary slightly by batch; 5" refers to overall height.

🌿 Benefits That Matter for NZ Venues & Homes

1) Hygienic storage that’s easy to maintain

Stainless steel’s non-porous surface wipes clean in seconds and tolerates standard hospitality sanitisers. Unlike porous holders, it won’t trap moisture or odours—ideal for food-safety-minded operations.

2) Built for service life

The rigid body and rolled rim shrug off daily use, bus tub transport, and frequent washing. Expect years of presentation-grade service, reducing replacement cost versus flimsy plastic pots.

3) Compact, stable, and space-efficient

The small footprint suits tight counters and noodle bars with limited real estate. The flat base sits securely on trays and table caddies, helping prevent tip-overs during rushes.

4) Clean, brand-agnostic look

Brushed stainless complements monochrome, coastal, rustic, or industrial interiors. It’s the safe styling choice that scales—from a single café to a multi-site group.

5) Multipurpose organiser

Beyond chopsticks, use it to corral reusable metal straws, swizzle sticks, pastry brushes, cocktail picks, or long teaspoons—keeping tools at hand and benches clear.

6) Dishwasher & sanitiser friendly

Drop into a rack, run a hot cycle, and you’re done. That’s fast, repeatable hygiene—key for high-turnover venues and caterers.

7) Reusable & recyclable

Unlike single-use tubs, this stainless tin is long-life and fully recyclable at end-of-life—aligned with New Zealand’s sustainability goals.

8) Better guest experience

Tidy, consistent utensil presentation signals quality and care—a small detail that lifts perceived value, reviews, and repeat visits.
