Now that shared condiment bottles in restaurants are being traded for single-serve packets to support touch-free experiences, Cholula Hot Sauce is introducing a first-of-its-kind hot sauce dispenser. The hot sauce brand teamed up with touch-free smart home product creator simplehuman to create a solution for the foodservice industry.
The Cholula x simplehuman Touch-Free Dispenser supports safe and sanitary operations and it gives people the chance to enjoy the Cholula Hot Sauce Original flavor without having to physically pump or squeeze a shared bottle. The dispenser promises a perfectly consistent drip every time and thanks to an upward facing sensor interface, the system helps to reduce splatter.
While the dispenser was primarily developed for foodservice, a limited number of Cholula x simplehuman Touch-Free Dispensers will be available for consumers to purchase this holiday season.
