Atlanta – GP PRO, a division of Georgia-Pacific and leading innovator of advanced dispensing and smart monitoring solutions, has launched the Dixie Ultra® Take-Two Interfold Napkin Dispenser. Designed to transform drive-thru, takeout and back-of-house operations at quick-service restaurants, this patent-pending “grab and go” technology delivers exactly two napkins with a single grab. The result: a uniquely calibrated system that reduces napkin waste and improves order presentation while maintaining critical speed-of-service.
“At GP PRO, customer-driven innovation informs our solutions to real-world problems, like the ‘pinch an inch’ habit of grabbing a stack of napkins when preparing to-go orders,” said Ashley Butler, vice president and general manager, GP PRO Towels and Napkins. “The Dixie Ultra® Take-Two dispenser re-engineers the take-away experience with an advanced dispenser precisely tuned to deliver premium napkins two at a time. This seamless integration ensures quality guest experiences with maximum speed and reduced waste.”
Engineered to Reduce Waste
Anchored by GP PRO’s unwavering focus on sustainable innovation, the eco-friendly Dixie Ultra® Take-Two Interfold Napkin Dispenser is engineered to decrease unnecessary waste and control costs. According to GP PRO proprietary research, restaurant brands that switched from a stack of napkins to Take-Two dispensers reduced overall napkin usage by 19 percent.[i]
More than two-thirds of managers and front-line workers across three major restaurant brands agreed that the Dixie Ultra® Take-Two dispensers accelerated their speed of service while three out of four reported improvements in napkin presentation with each order bag they prepared.[ii] An additional, and especially crucial benefit, is the ability to reduce burdens on staff, as more carefully controlled dispensing requires less frequent and disruptive supply restocking.
Unlike tower-based interfold napkin dispensers, the Dixie Ultra® Take-Two dispenser has a compact footprint, which makes it ideal for space-constrained drive-thru counters and order-prep areas. The units can also be stacked for higher-capacity, space-saving operation.
A Single-SKU, Sustainable Solution
A hallmark of the Dixie Ultra® Take-Two system is the ability to bridge back-of-house operational efficiency with front-of-house service consistency. The dispenser utilizes the same Dixie Ultra® Interfold napkins found across the entire Dixie Ultra® family—including tower and in-counter dispensers. These premium, 2-ply brown and white embossed napkins are made from 100 percent recycled fiber and carry USDA BioPreferred® certifications and Sustainable Forestry Initiative while meeting or exceeding EPA Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines for post-consumer fiber. Available now, GP PRO Dixie Ultra® Take-Two dispensers offer “one SKU” versatility to simplify ordering and storage, as well as a seamless transition from back-of-house prep to front-of-house self-service.
Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers: Scalability Meets Sustainability
As Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers continues rapid national expansion—opening 50 new locations last year with plans for another 60 in 2026—GP PRO’s Dixie Ultra® Take-Two dispensers optimize efficiency and reduce waste across drive-thru and takeout operations. Coeli Arthur, vice president of Purchasing, Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers stated, “In 2025, we reduced napkin consumption by 10 percent, saving 20 million napkins during a period of rapid growth. The Dixie Ultra® Take-Two system helped us create a highly efficient process with streamlined refills to lower purchasing and inventory costs.”
Tim Woodburn, vice president of Guest Experience, Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers added, “Before Take-Two, team members would grab napkins from a stack, and sometimes efficiency literally went out the drive-thru window. With one pull, we now have enough napkins, and a consistent quality presentation for every order.”
