Dish Drying

Clean plates and cups need somewhere to land before they go back into service. Dish Drying Racks & Mats at Direct Hotel Supplies offers different ways to use the space beside or over a sink, from a standing rack to a mat that lays flat on the counter. Planning this small part of the kitchen helps staff move washed items out of the basin and return them to the shelf or table once dry.

Choose a rack for the dishes being washed

Countertop racks hold plates and bowls upright and separate, making them a straightforward option when there is bench space beside the sink. Sink-spanning drainers and roll-up steel rods use the basin area instead; the roll-up form can be moved aside when the sink is needed for another task. An extendable basket gives smaller pieces another place to drain near the water.

Use a mat where flexibility matters

A quick-dry dish mat creates a temporary landing spot on a counter or coffee-bar surface without taking up the fixed space of a rigid rack. It can be brought out for washing and cleared when the area returns to beverage or food service. Match the drying surface to the items washed most often and the available footprint, so cleanup supports the next service rather than crowding it.
