GP PRO Launches the Revolutionary Dixie Ultra® Take-Two Interfold Napkin Dispenser

In an effort to address the growing need for operational efficiency and sustainability, GP PRO, part of Georgia-Pacific, has introduced its latest innovation: the Dixie Ultra® Take-Two Interfold Napkin Dispenser. This state-of-the-art dispenser targets quick-service restaurants by revolutionizing how napkins are distributed during busy periods such as drive-thru and takeout services.

Key Features and Benefits

The standout feature of the Take-Two dispenser is its patented design, which provides users with two napkins in one grab, effectively solving the common issue known as the "pinch an inch" habit, where customers often take more napkins than necessary. This innovative approach reportedly leads to a 19% reduction in overall napkin usage.

As Ashley Butler, Vice President and General Manager of GP PRO Towels and Napkins, notes, the dispenser has been designed with the customer in mind, turning what could be a frustrating experience into a seamless one. “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,” she says.

Environmental Impact and Operational Efficiency

In addition to minimizing waste, the dispenser’s design also contributes to improving the speed of service, as highlighted by feedback from various restaurant managers. Data indicates that more than two-thirds of managers experienced a noticeable increase in service speed, while three out of four reported enhanced napkin presentation with each order.

The compact footprint of the dispenser makes it particularly suitable for space-restricted environments like drive-thrus, where every square inch counts. The units can be stacked to create a more efficient system, thus enabling easier management of supplies and reducing the need for frequent restocking.

The Eco-Friendly Choice

GP PRO has made sustainability a high priority in designing the Take-Two dispenser. The napkins used are made from 100% recycled fiber and come with multiple certifications, including USDA BioPreferred®. This commitment to eco-friendly practices is reflective of a broader trend within the restaurant industry, as many operators seek to embrace greener solutions.

Real-World Success Stories

Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers is among the first to implement the Take-Two dispensers across multiple locations. Their journey offers tangible data supporting the dispenser's impact. Coeli Arthur, VP of Purchasing at Freddy's, shared, “In 2025, we reduced napkin consumption by 10%, saving 20 million napkins during a period of rapid growth.” The implementation of the Take-Two system allowed for a highly efficient process that lowered purchasing and inventory costs.

Tim Woodburn, VP of Guest Experience at Freddy's, emphasized the importance of speed and consistent presentation in customer orders: “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.”

Conclusion

The Dixie Ultra® Take-Two Interfold Napkin Dispenser is a game changer in the quick-service restaurant sector, aligning operational efficiency with sustainability practices. As more businesses adopt this model, the potential for reduced waste and increased customer satisfaction could significantly shift how napkin dispensing is approached in the food service industry. GP PRO continues to lead the way in creating innovative solutions that emphasize quality, speed, and environmental responsibility.
