If you’ve ever struggled creating a topping station, we
don’t blame you. Finding the perfect configuration can be a tough task – but
we’re here to help! Just follow along with our Station Creation Guide!
The Goal
With warm weather comes sporting events; with sporting
events come hungry fans – time to stock your concession stand condiment bar.
While looking into equipment, you know you’re going to offer
burgers, brats and hot dogs. And whether you’re planning this condiment bar for
a small community ball park, a stadium concession stand or a beach front food
kiosk, there will always be two must-have condiments: ketchup and mustard.
For additional flavor, pickle relish and diced onions are
also safe to supply.
Now that you know your ingredients…
Choose your Base
You’ll need two jars with pumps for the ketchup and mustard,
and two jars with lids and ladles for the relish and onion for a total of 4
standard-sized fountain jars. Select Server’s 4-jar insulated countertop base
(SB-4 83600).
Select your Jars
Jars come in Standard or Slim, deep or shallow.
Because ketchup and mustard are ubiquitous at any concession
stand, it’s safe to say you’ll go through a lot. Standard, deep fountain jars
hold 3.5 qt (3.3 L), which equals about (112) 1 oz servings, or about (150) .75
oz servings.
2 qt (1.9 L) standard, shallow jars will work well for the
onions and relish.
Select pumps, lids
and accessories
Pumps on the Station Creation spec sheet are
separated by what type of jar and base they fit; for this station, locate the
“deep fountain jar” pump and lid fit with the countertop base style.
Next, think of what you’re dispensing. The “Dispenses” key
will show three droplet icons for thin, thick and thicker. Ketchup and mustard fall
under thick, the middle droplet; therefore your ideal pump will be the CP-F
83330.
Quick tip: When you see “FP” think Fountain Pump and “CP,”
think Condiment Pump – “TP,” or thick pumps are for special toppings that
require extra force to dispense, like thicker caramel and fudge sauces or
pumpable peanut butter.
For the relish and onion jars, the clear hinged lid for
standard jars will allow guests to see contents at a self-serve station, and
employees can quickly check the fill level. The proper ladle for shallow,
standard fountain jars is the 7”, 1 oz ladle (82562), so you’ll select 2 each
of the lid and ladle.
