SIGNS & TENTS
Incorportating Laser-Cut
Signs and Tents
Adding laser-cut signs and tents to your food and beverage displays brings a touch of sophistication and style. These signs and tents can be customized to display the names of different dishes or beverages, helping guests easily identify what is being served.
Made from high-quality stainless steel in various designs and colors to suit your display needs. Whether you’re hosting a buffet, a catered event, or a restaurant, incorporating laser-cut signs and tents can elevate the overall look of your food and beverage setup.
Additionally, laser-cut signs and tents can be used to showcase special dietary labels, such as gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan options. This helps guests with specific dietary needs quickly identify suitable food and beverage choices.
By incorporating laser-cut signs and tents, you not only improve the organization of your display but also create an inviting atmosphere that enhances the overall dining experience.
SMALL BEVERAGE SOLUTIONS
Utilizing Rubber Flavor Bands for Beverage Carafes
Carafes are among the most popular vessels for serving various drinks and are commonly seen in food and beverage displays. When serving a large variety of beverages, Flavor Bands from Service Ideas can effectively identify what’s being served without breaking the bank. These handly little pad-printed colored bands can easily be wrapped around the neck or handle of the carafe, providing a clear indication of what is inside.
These labels can be customized with different colors or patterns to enhance the visual appeal of your display further. Whether you’re serving a variety of juices, infused water, or specialty cocktails, utilizing rubber band labels for carafes ensures that guests can quickly and easily identify their desired beverage. This not only improves the efficiency of your beverage service but also adds a professional and organized touch to your overall display.
LARGE BEVERAGE SOLUTIONS
Identifying Contents in Large Beverage Dispensers
Large beverage dispensers are commonly used in buffet setups or events where selfservice is encouraged. However, it can be challenging for guests to identify the contents of these dispensers, especially when multiple options are available. To address this issue, hanging signs or tents can be incorporated into your display.
ID Chains can be attached to the dispensers using hooks or clips, making it easy to switch out the signs when the contents of the dispensers change. These signs can display
the beverage name, ingredients, allergens, or any other relevant information guests need. Laser-cut ID Tents and Signs are easily incorporated into large beverage setups by positioning them in front of the designated dispenser.
By identifying the contents of large beverage dispensers, you create a more user-friendly experience for your guests, allowing them to make informed choices and enjoy their preferred beverages.
COLOR CODING Implementing Color-Coded Lids for Beverage Service
Color-coded lids are not only a practical solution for differentiating between various beverage options, but they also add a fun and visually appealing element to your food and beverage displays. Imagine a row of brightly colored lids adorning your airpots, carafes, or creamers, creating a vibrant and organized setup that catches the eye of your guests.
By assigning a specific color to each beverage or drink option, you are not only streamlining the selection process but also adding a touch of creativity to your presentation. Guests can easily spot their preferred drink at a glance, eliminating any confusion and ensuring a smooth and efficient service experience.
Furthermore, the use of color-coded lids and accessories can be a subtle yet effective way to convey important information to your guests. For example, a red lid could signify a hot beverage, while a blue lid could indicate a cold drink. This simple visual cue eliminates the need for additional signage or explanations, enhancing the overall guest experience and leaving a lasting impression.
Incorporating color-coded lids into your beverage service is a small detail that can make a big impact on the organization and efficiency of your display. Not only do they help guests navigate your offerings with ease, but they also add a pop of color and personality to your setup, creating a memorable and enjoyable dining experience for all who visit your establishment.
CUSTOM ID
Custom Etching and Printing on Products
Adding a personalized touch to your food and beverage items through laser etching and pad printing is a fantastic way to elevate your display and provide clear identification. Whether it’s beverage servers, serving trays, or other food-related items, custom etching or printing can take your setup to the next level of sophistication and professionalism.
Imprinting your logo or brand name onto a carafe to create a cohesive and branded look. This adds a personalized touch and helps guests easily recognize items associated with your establishment. Additionally, printing labels or tags with important information, such as allergen warnings or serving instructions, can improve overall safety and clarity.

A HISTORY OF SERVICE IDEAS
We entered the foodservice industry in 1946 with a passion for food and a vision for better service. Over Seventy-five years later, we continue to bring service ideas to the table.
About Us
In 1946, Art Murray had a vision how to improve service in his restaurant in downtown Minneapolis. His very first invention was a domed ashtray with a light that could signal the wait-person if the guest needed something. Art’s son, Patrick, joined the company in the early 1970s. He expanded the company across the nation and extended the product line to include other tabletop service ware. Today, the third generation, remains active in providing quality, innovative food service presentation products to various markets.
