The Napkin Dispenser We Place
The napkin dispenser we place is a black, Tork Xpressnap-style tabletop unit that hands out one napkin at a time. A clear front window holds a small printed card from a local sponsor.

Why a one-at-a-time dispenser instead of a stack
A loose stack or a spring holder lets a guest pull a handful. Interfold napkins are folded into each other, so pulling one lifts the edge of the next and stops there.
Guests can still take as many as they need. They just don't take ten by accident, and the rest of the stack stays clean.
Size on the table and where it fits
The footprint is close to a standing hardcover book. It sits next to salt and pepper, a sugar caddy, or a condiment rack without crowding plates.
Because the housing is covered, the napkins don't lift off on a windy patio or soak up a spill.
The ad window and how cards are made
The front window holds a full-color card printed on heavy stock, about 6.5 by 4.25 inches, landscape. We design it, the restaurant approves the advertiser, and we install it on a route visit.
Window sizes vary a little between models. We confirm the exact model at your location and the window size before anything is printed.
Which napkins this style of dispenser takes
It takes standard interfold dispenser napkins in the folded size listed above, sold for Xpressnap-style tabletop dispensers. Regular folded lunch napkins and beverage napkins won't feed properly.
We bring a starter supply and tell you the exact refill so your usual supplier can match it.
Frequently asked questions
Is it a Tork dispenser?
It's a Tork Xpressnap-style tabletop dispenser, meaning the same format: black housing, clear front window, interfold napkins, one at a time. We confirm the exact model for your location before printing any cards, since window size can differ slightly by model.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
Plan on wiping it rather than running it through a dish machine. A damp cloth and mild cleaner handle grease and sauce. Avoid abrasive pads, which can scratch the clear window and make the card harder to read.
Does it need tools or mounting?
No. It's a freestanding tabletop unit. Set it where you want it and move it whenever you rearrange tables. Nothing is screwed down or stuck to your furniture.
What if one breaks?
Tell us and we replace it. Dispensers get knocked off tables and dropped in a busy dining room, and that's expected. We swap it on the next route visit, along with the ad card.
