Swelper® takes serving to a new level!

The innovative serving aid creates a revolution in gastronomy and turns even inexperienced temps into professional waiters. Thanks to its clever design and ergonomic shape, the handle fits perfectly into the palm of the hand and makes it easier and safer to carry and clear plates. 

With its clever design, it allows even inexperienced helpers to work professionally without the risk of spills or burns. The ergonomic design also ensures comfortable handling and relieves strain on the wrists. The serving handle is ideal for events or caterings, where every long walk saves immense time. Find out how it all began and what advantages the Swelper has in store for you!

How it all began

My name is Friederike (36) and I am the inventor and patent holder of the first serving aid. For six years, I ran my own little hotel with ten rooms, a cosy bar and a restaurant specialising in upscale German cuisine. But despite the success, I was left with a product idea that had already come to my mind in 2016. That evening, we had to serve a 4-course menu for 120 people, but the external staff were still in the induction phase and couldn't carry three plates at the drop of a hat (two in one hand and one in the other). This made me think: Why is there no serving aid yet? Since that moment, I have been working on the development of the perfect serving aid.

What is Swelper®?

SWELPER® is a true helper for your staff right from the start - lightning fast and extremely effective when carrying plates. Help your staff carry plates quickly and effectively from the very first moment. This makes serving food less stress and painful and your guests will have an all-round successful restaurant experience. Rely on the support of SWELPER® and you will see how the satisfaction of your customers increases.

Who is Swelper® for?

The goal of SWELPER® is to help young temporary workers, mini-jobbers and career changers in the hospitality industry by strengthening their performance.

How does Swelper® work?

SWELPER® is a revolutionary invention that makes life easier for the waiter. The handy product is simply placed on the palm of the hand and ensures that the weight is evenly distributed on the wrist. In doing so, SWELPER® avoids any unnecessary pressure on the waiter's little finger and thus ensures a comfortable feeling. With SWELPER® the waiter always keeps the right balance and can fully concentrate on his work. An absolute must-have for every beginner in the hospitality industry.

How sustainable is Swelper®?

SWELPER® is a product made of a flexible material called TPE, which is a plastic that is extremely durable and dishwasher safe. As a result of its high elasticity, SWELPER® is also able to adapt ideally to the shape of the hand and thus offers an ergonomic experience.
