Drip Tray

In the bar industry, a drip tray is a tool used to catch any spills, drips, or overflow that may occur during the process of making and serving drinks. Drip trays are particularly common in bars where draft beer is served. But they can also be found under other beverage dispensing systems like cocktail taps or coffee machines. The primary purpose is to keep the bar area clean and prevent liquids from reaching the bar top or floor. By collecting spills and drips, they help prevent cross-contamination between different drinks, provide a more hygienic environment, and contribute to the overall efficiency of the bartending process.
