Serving Containers

[bearbonz]

What are the folks here serving on? Plates wrapped with foil or food film? Hinged containers? Other?
I keep second guessing myself on what would work best and seem to be stuck in indecision. I am leaning toward the hinged containers because of versatility and cost. Small for sandwiches only and large for sandwiches with sides and meat(s) with sides

All of my sides were prepackaged into 4 oz squat cups.
Make the sammie fresh. Wrap in a foil deli wrapper and place into a 9x9 hinged lid with 2 sides, spork and napkins.
Serve yourself condiments and sauce.
You only have to think about which size sammie and what 2 sides to grab and cap (if hot).
Head em up, move em out.

I use paper boats,2 lb for sammies,3lb for ribs,cost about .03ea.I have hinged containers for platters, and small foam cups 4oz for sides.
wrapping in foil,then in a hinged containter to me is just throwing away money.
I also use paper towels instead of napkins,the reason is people pay attention to how many towels they pull off.not just grab a handful of napkins.It all adds up at the end of the season.

much like dwd, paper boats for fries & sides of ribs,styro cups for seperate hot sides and a 3 comp styro hinge box for dinners, sammies we just wrap in reg foil, and give a napkin with it. too easy..

Street vending I use 9x9 hinged foam for meals, foil pop-ups for single sammies as many take it back to the office etc. to eat. Festivals etc I use 3# boats for single sammies and nacho's, 2# for small sammies and on a sticks and 3 compartment foam plates for meals. I have 2 shelves over my prep cooler - one for all my to-go containers, the other shelf is for buns and gloves.
All those choices and I still have one lady who brings her own plate to help save the whales or something... Once she brought her sister along who said " give me the foam just to piss her off"....

we do a sandwich & side in 3# paper boats with 4oz squat paper cup. platters we use the 3-comp paper plates, and 3-comp styro clamshells to go

we tried using the paper/recycled boxes when we first started, but they dont close well, get soggy, and are WAY more expensive than the foam

for half & full racks to go we just use heavy duty foil
