Single-Use Glass and Cup Dispensers, Sleeves and Organizers are essential accessories for cafés, bars and self-service points where disposable tableware is used. Dispensers ensure hygienic serving of glasses and cups to customers — they are dispensed one at a time without touching other glasses. BHS offers this range as part of the Furniture and Organizers for Customer Comfort for HoReCa businesses across Europe. A correctly chosen dispenser speeds up the service process, reduces hygiene risks and improves the customer experience in self-service zones. BHS helps cafés and bars choose the most suitable dispenser type according to the size of the glass or cup, flow rate and installation location, and to organise bar workflow.

Single-Use Glass and Cup Dispensers are essential in self-service and quick-service establishments — they provide a clean glass for each customer without manual intervention, reducing hygiene risks.
Types of dispensers and organizers
Wall-mounted dispensers are attached to a wall or partition, freeing up work surface. The customer pulls a glass from the bottom, and the next one moves down by gravity. Suitable for both plastic and paper cups.
Tabletop dispensers are portable and can be conveniently placed anywhere — ideal for cafés and bars where the location of the glass dispenser may change depending on the event or season.
Sleeves and glass packaging organizers help keep glass stocks tidy in storage areas and ensure their safe transport to the dispenser.
Lid organizers and dispensers ensure hygienic access to coffee cup lids — customers can easily take a lid without touching others.
Most suitable usage scenarios
In cafés with a to-go format, dispensers enable faster customer service — the barista quickly takes a glass or cup from the dispenser and continues working.
Hotel and office self-service coffee stations with glass dispensers allow guests and employees to obtain a clean glass each time in self-service mode.
Dispensers in to-go format cafés
In to-go format cafés, where most orders are served in disposable tableware, dispensers are critical equipment for fast service. The barista can quickly take a glass or cup from the dispenser without interrupting the workflow. A glass dispenser at the barista station reduces service time and prevents hygiene risks that arise from manually taking glasses from an uncovered stack. Cafés with high customer flow appreciate the contribution of dispensers to service speed and hygiene.
Lid organizers and systems
Coffee cup lid dispensers are indispensable in cafés with an active to-go range. Lids are dispensed one at a time, preventing contact with other lids and maintaining hygiene standards. Paper lids and plastic lids require different organizers — some dispensers have an adjustable diameter. Cafés with a wide range of lids appreciate organizer systems that keep the workspace tidy.
Office and hotel self-service zones
Office coffee stations and hotel self-service zones use glass dispensers to provide guests and employees with hygienic self-service. The dispenser ensures that each user receives a clean, untouched glass or cup. This organisation reduces the need for staff involvement in daily glass serving. Offices and hotels appreciate the contribution of dispensers to the efficiency of self-service zones and hygiene maintenance.
Glass dispensers in self-service cafés
In self-service cafés and office coffee stations, dispensers are a mandatory element — they allow customers or employees to independently take a clean glass or cup without touching the others. Glasses are dispensed one at a time by gravity from the bottom, reducing contact with multiple glasses simultaneously. This system meets food hygiene requirements and is practical in high-traffic service environments. Self-service zones in cafés and offices appreciate the convenience and hygiene of dispensers.
Wall-mounted dispensers are attached to a wall or partition, freeing up work surface and optimising space use. Tabletop dispensers are portable and can be conveniently placed anywhere — suitable for cafés and bars where the location of the dispenser may change. Some models have adjustable height to fit the dispenser to the specific glass size. BHS helps choose the installation method according to the space configuration.
Lid organizers and sleeves
Coffee cup lid organizers and dispensers ensure hygienic access to lids — each lid is dispensed individually without contact with others. In to-go format cafés, where most orders are served in closed cups, lid dispensers are essential equipment.
Hygiene and food industry requirements
Hygienic serving of single-use glasses and cups is a requirement in food industry sanitary regulations. Using a dispenser ensures that each customer receives an untouched glass or cup. Regular cleaning and disinfection of the dispenser maintains hygiene standards. BHS dispensers are made from materials that meet food contact hygiene requirements.
