Appetizer Cones and Buckets

Appetiser Cones & Buckets for Hospitality

Appetiser cones and buckets carry quick snacks and small sides in a way that feels tidy without slowing service. Staff use these pieces constantly, so the weight and balance matter more than you’d expect. We’ve seen appetiser cones and buckets steady a shift when the room gets busy. It’s odd how such small items make things feel smoother.

How They Fit Into Service

These pieces move back and forth between the pass and the table repeatedly. Some hold food more firmly, which helps when people move quickly. Staff notice that straight away. A cone that tilts too easily can slow things down, even for just a second.

Working Out What Fits Best

Shared snacks sit well in wider buckets. Lighter bites fit neatly into cones. It often takes a few services to see which shape works for your dishes. People adjust once they see how the food behaves on the table.
