Restaurants & QSR
Plates for the parcel counter, cutlery for the table, lids for the bar.
Restaurants doing parcel service plus dine-in, QSR food-court counters cycling through combo meals, and hotels running large breakfast or banquet buffets. PulpyWare bagasse fits where ceramic doesn't make logistical sense — and replaces the plastic / PE-coated paper that's been sitting at the takeaway counter for too long.
Why bagasse fits the restaurant + QSR model.
Restaurants live or die on three counter-level decisions: how fast a parcel goes out the door, how the brand presents on the customer's home table, and how the GST + cost-per-piece math reconciles every month. Bagasse threads all three. The 7-inch QSR square handles a mains-plus-side combo. The 8 oz tumbler + matching 80 mm bagasse lid replaces the paper-cup-plus-plastic-lid combo most QSRs run by default. The 9-inch round plate stacks 100 to a carton in the dispatch shelf without crushing.
On the brand side: a bagasse plate at the home table is a quiet but compounding marketing signal. The customer's first instinct on opening a PulpyWare-packed parcel isn't "more plastic to throw out" — it's "this place is paying attention." For sit-down dine-in service, most accounts run ceramic on the table and pivot to bagasse for the takeaway counter and large-volume breakfast or banquet service where the dishwasher is saturated.

We do both dine-in and parcel — should we use bagasse for both?
Yes — many of our restaurant accounts run bagasse for parcel (where the customer takes the dispatch home) and a mix of bagasse + ceramic for dine-in (ceramic for the table, bagasse for the takeaway counter). The 9-inch round plate is the workhorse for parcel; the 7-inch QSR square and 3-compartment 10-inch handle combo meals on either format.
How does bagasse compare to PE-coated paper for our parcel volume?
Cost-per-piece is comparable at our HORECA list. Performance: bagasse handles oil and gravy better than PE-coated paper because it's a single-material fibre, not paper-with-plastic-film. Brand: bagasse reads 'compostable' on the customer's table at home; PE-coated paper reads 'paper-with-a-plastic-lining' to anyone who's seen the recent news cycles on microplastics. The compounding marketing matters at parcel scale.
Can we get our restaurant logo printed on bagasse plates?
Yes — custom-printed bagasse is available for orders of 10,000+ pieces per artwork, 3-4 week lead time. Restaurant logos work well on the 8×8 clamshell, 80 mm cup lid, and 9-inch round plate. Setup is a one-time die fee; per-unit adds ₹0.50–₹1.50 depending on format. Email support@pulpyware.in with artwork.
What about hotel banquet halls and ballroom catering?
Hotels typically run banquet on ceramic (logistics-heavy but reusable) and pivot to bagasse for outdoor or off-site catering, large breakfast buffets, and weekend brunch service where dishwasher capacity is saturated. The 11-inch round, 9-compartment thali tray, and 8 oz tumbler are the canonical hotel-catering trio.
Are bagasse cups safe for hot coffee / tea?
Yes — the 8 oz bagasse tumbler handles 90 °C+ liquids for the duration of a beverage. The 80 mm bagasse lid (dome for hot, flat for cold) seals it for takeaway. We see a clear preference for bagasse-cup + bagasse-lid over the paper-cup + plastic-lid combo most QSRs default to.
How fast can we get a HORECA reorder dispatched?
Approved HORECA accounts typically see same-day pickup if the order is in by 14:00 IST, next-day for orders placed later. Air-courier-eligible PIN codes (most metros + tier-2) land in 2-4 business days. Restaurant accounts running a weekly cadence usually time orders for a Wednesday dispatch so stock arrives Monday for the new week.
