System and Method for the Precision Wiping of Dinnerware, Flatware and Glassware

Abstract

A food and beverage preparation system and method for the precision wiping of plates and glassware in restaurants and bars including one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls having flat ends and a sanitary dispensing means for the one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls. A dry use method involves removing a cylindrical shaped fiber roll from a sanitary dispenser, grasping the fiber roll in a manner conducive to precision wiping, wiping a specific area of a plate or other surface and discarding the cylindrical shaped fiber roll when done. A wet use method involves wetting or dampening the cylindrical shaped fiber rolls in specialized liquids and grasping the fiber roll in a manner conducive to precision wiping, wiping a specific area of a plate or other surface and discarding the cylindrical shaped fiber roll when done.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A food and beverage preparation and presentation system for the precision wiping of dinnerware, flatware and glassware in restaurants and bars comprising:
 a. one or more ergonomically sized, cylindrically shaped plant fiber rolls having flat ends; and   b. a sanitary dispensing system for the one or more ergonomically sized, cylindrically shaped fiber rolls.   
     
     
         2 . The food and beverage preparation and presentation system of  claim 1  wherein the fiber of one or more ergonomically sized, cylindrically shaped plant fiber rolls is prepared by processing a plant material into individual fibers wherein the said individual fibers are formed into sheets of flattened fibrous material having a specific density. 
     
     
         3 . The food and beverage preparation and presentation system of  claim 3  wherein the one or more ergonomically sized, cylindrically shaped fiber rolls is prepared by rolling the flattened fibrous material having a specific density into a cylindrically shaped object having a specific diameter, a specific density, and uniform consistency throughout the said cylindrically shaped fiber rolls. 
     
     
         4 . The food and beverage preparation and presentation system of  claim 4  wherein the cylindrically shaped fiber rolls are treated with a non-toxic material and dried so as to create a cylindrically shaped fiber roll that retains its shape when exposed to air, liquid or semisolid matter. 
     
     
         5 . The food and beverage preparation and presentation system of  claim 5  wherein the ergonomically sized, cylindrically shaped fiber rolls having a specific diameter, a specific density, and uniform consistency throughout the said cylindrically shaped fiber roll is cut into sections having a specific length and having flat ends. 
     
     
         6 . The food and beverage preparation and presentation system of  claim 6  wherein the sections having specific length and having flat ends are sanitized to restaurant standards and packaged into a sanitary, closable container capable of storing a plurality of ergonomically sized, cylindrically shaped plant fiber rolls having flat ends. 
     
     
         1 . d and beverage preparation and presentation system of  claim 1  wherein the fiber is cotton. 
     
     
         8 . The food and beverage preparation and presentation system of  claim 1  wherein the fiber is bamboo. 
     
     
         9 . The food and beverage preparation and presentation of  claim 1  wherein the fiber is sugarcane. 
     
     
         10 . The food and beverage preparation and presentation of  claim 1  wherein the fiber is kenaf. 
     
     
         11 . A method for food and beverage preparation and presentation using a food and beverage preparation system for the precision wiping specific areas of dinnerware, flatware and glassware in restaurants, bars, catering and banquets comprising one or more ergonomically shaped, cylindrically shaped fiber rolls having flat ends and a sanitary dispensing means for the said one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls comprising:
 a. removing one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls having flat ends from the said sanitary dispensing means;   b. grasping and applying digital pressure to the one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls having flat ends in a manner conducive to precision wiping;   c. wiping the specific area of a plate or piece of glassware; and   d. discarding the one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein a user uses length of one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls having flat ends to wipe specific area of a plate or bowl or piece of glassware. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein a user uses a flat end of one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls having flat ends to wipe specific area of a plate or bowl or piece of glassware. 
     
     
         14 . A method for food and beverage preparation and presentation using a food and beverage preparation system for precision wiping dinnerware, flatware and glassware in restaurants, bars, catering, and banquet service comprising one or more ergonomically shaped, cylindrically shaped fiber rolls having flat ends and a sanitary dispensing means for the said one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls comprising:
 a. removing one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls having flat ends from the said sanitary dispensing means;   b. applying a specific liquid to the said one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls having flat ends;   c. grasping and applying digital pressure to the one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls having flat ends in a manner conducive to precision wiping;   d. wiping the specific area of a plate or piece of glassware; and   e. discarding the one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the liquid is water. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the liquid is an acetic acid and water-based solution. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the liquid is an ascorbic acid and water-based solution. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the liquid is an ethanol and water-based solution. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15  wherein a user can use the length of one or more cylindrically shaped fiber rolls having flat ends to wipe specific area of a plate or bowl or piece of glassware.
