Salt and pepper holders Price Point ~ $30-$40, Ponoko will provide instant estimates
 Hold typical s/p holders of the measurement:
 2.125” wide (base), 1” wide (head), 4.75” tall
 Holds 16 sets of s/p (32 shakers total).
 Should have a cover.
 Should be dishwasher safe (when shakers are removed)
 Holders should be stackable, and stay in place if jolted.
 Should be VERY durable (a 150 lb man can sit on it with out breaking).
 Holder should not break when dropped on a brick floor.
 Weight isn’t an issue, but material is.
 The fabrication will be done by ponoko (www.ponoko.com); plans are sent via the web to New
Zealand.
 Design should be designed for a single plane of material, as it will be cut out via a laser on a single
sheet of the chosen material.
 Once cut, the whole sheet of material will be sent home, and assembled here.
 Cost of Ponoko’s services is cheaper if straight lines are used, and less cuts are made.
 Cost of Ponoko’s services is more expensive if curves, or more cuts are involved.
 Will be used by catering companies, which require more strength, self-containment and portability
then typical restaurant equipment.
 Typical trip of the salt and pepper holder:
1. In the kitchen, holders must store ~ 120 shakers in a limited storage space (hence the stacking issue).
2. Box(es) are thrown on a truck, with sometimes 30lbs of other items placed on top of it.
3. The truck arrives to the job site and everything is quickly unloaded. Sometimes the holder might be
dropped 5 ft. onto the bricked ground by mistake because someone lost their grip. Hopefully nothing
has broken (inside, or the holder itself).
4. The box is brought into the site, and opened. The wait staff walk around & place them on the tables.
5. The night ends, and the processes is reversed. The holder arrives to the kitchen, and is stacked on a
shelf.
6. The next day, a staff member opens all the boxes to organize, refill, and wipe down the shakers.
