Elote Shop Supplies: Cups, Containers and Cleanup Stock

Clear foodservice cups and lids for elote shop service

An elote shop needs fast portioning and packaging that contains toppings without slowing the line. Build the list separately for esquites, whole elotes, sauces and drinks.

Set up the service line

  • Cups or containers sized to each esquites portion
  • Spoons, napkins and carryout bags
  • Portion cups for sauces and extra toppings
  • Gloves, towels and liners for quick cleanup

Count by serving size

Track how many small and large portions sell on weekdays and weekends. Use that mix to order sleeves and lids together, with a measured event-day buffer.
