2. What’s the advantage over a pitcher?
Our tabletop dispensers draw a lot of attention and they are fun to use. They also hold more drink than a pitcher and they are a perfect support for a brand. In business terms they increase drink turnover, they free-up your bar staff for other tasks and they provide excellent P.O.S. promotion.
