Cocktail Picks, Food Picks, & Skewers

Best Food & Cocktail Picks for Bars & Restaurants

Food and cocktail picks add functional presentation to drinks, appetizers, and plated dishes across bars, restaurants, catering operations, and event venues. These small but essential tools secure garnishes on cocktails, hold together sandwich layers, skewer appetizer bites, and identify dietary options on buffet lines. Quality picks and skewers combine practical utility with visual appeal, elevating presentation while making it easy for guests to enjoy garnishes and finger foods.

The category includes bamboo picks in paddle, knotted, fork, and decorative styles for disposable applications, stainless steel picks for reusable upscale service, and bamboo skewers in various lengths for kabobs and appetizer platters. Specialty options feature engraved labels for dietary identifiers like Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Allergy, colored ball tops for visual appeal or coding systems, sports-themed decorations for themed events, and chalkboard picks for custom labeling. Lengths range from 3.5-inch cocktail picks to 16-inch skewers for grilled kabobs.

We offer food and cocktail picks from trusted commercial brands including TableCraft and Thunder Group.

Why Choose Commercial Food & Cocktail Picks?

Presentation elevates the guest experience. A properly garnished cocktail with olives or citrus on a stylish pick signals quality and attention to detail. Appetizers served on coordinated skewers look more appealing than loose items on a plate. These small touches contribute to the overall impression of your establishment and justify premium pricing on crafted cocktails and composed appetizers.

Functionality improves service efficiency. Picks secure garnishes so they don't sink into drinks or fall off plates during service. Skewers keep appetizer components together for easy handling by guests. Engraved dietary identifier picks eliminate confusion at buffets and reduce staff questions about which items meet specific dietary needs. These practical benefits streamline service while reducing waste and miscommunication.

Bulk packaging supports high-volume operations. Commercial packs of 50 to 100 picks provide cost-effective inventory for busy bars and catering operations. Disposable bamboo options eliminate washing while maintaining an upscale natural appearance. Reusable stainless steel picks offer durability for establishments preferring sustainable options with elegant presentation.

Some things to consider when shopping for food and cocktail picks include:
