GP PRO has launched the Dixie Ultra® Take-Two Interfold Napkin Dispenser, a patent-pending "grab and go" technology that delivers two napkins with a single pull. This system reduces napkin waste, improves order presentation, and maintains speed of service for drive-thru and takeout operations at quick-service restaurants.

Why it matters

The new dispenser addresses the "pinch an inch" habit of grabbing excessive napkins, a common problem that leads to significant waste. By precisely controlling napkin distribution, the Take-Two dispenser helps restaurants cut costs and operate more sustainably.

The details

The Dixie Ultra® Take-Two dispenser is engineered to decrease unnecessary napkin waste. According to GP PRO's research, restaurants that switched to the Take-Two system reduced overall napkin usage by 19%. The dispenser also received positive feedback from managers and workers, with over two-thirds reporting faster service speed and three-quarters noting improved napkin presentation in each order. The compact design makes it ideal for space-constrained drive-thru and prep areas, and the single-SKU solution simplifies purchasing and inventory management.

“Before Take-Two, team members would grab napkins from a stack, and sometimes efficiency literally went out the drive-thru window. With one pull, we now have enough napkins, and a consistent quality presentation for every order.”
