- One-Sided Print: The message is only on one side, so placement needs a little thought.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Bakehouse in the Cotswolds needed a more reliable way to flag their growing range of gluten-free options during the hectic tourist season. Previously, staff spent valuable time answering the same allergen questions repeatedly, slowing down the queue.
"These little picks have been fantastic. Our customers with coeliac disease feel seen and safe, and our staff can focus on service instead of becoming allergen detectives. It just makes the whole counter service run smoother."
Samuel Jones – Head Baker
After introducing the markers, the bakery noted a significant drop in allergen-related questions and a noticeable increase in the sale of their gluten-free items, as customers could self-identify them with confidence.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Best Practice for Use
- Store the pack in a cool, dry place away from moisture to keep the picks in perfect condition.
- Place markers in a consistent location on each food item (e.g., always on the left) so customers know where to look.
- Brief your team on their importance to ensure they are used correctly for all relevant products.
- Ensure the pick is inserted firmly enough to be stable but not so deep it obscures the food.
Storage and Disposal
- Keep the outer packaging sealed until you need to use them to maintain hygiene.
- These picks are designed for single use to prevent any risk of cross-contamination.
- As they're made from bamboo, they are commercially compostable. Please check with your local waste management services.
- Never reuse markers, even if they appear clean.
