Where It Began
“A sweet waitress rushed over with a flat tray, spilling all of her drinks on us and all over the floor — at that moment, I thought, there has to be a better solution.”
— Felipe Ramirez, Inventor / Founder / CEO, Grippy Tray, LLC
The Problem

An industry standard,
broken since the 1950s.

The classic serving tray hasn't evolved in decades. Servers endure chronic wrist pain, carefully balancing heavy payloads while navigating through chaotic dining rooms.

One accidental bump, one slight shift in gravity, and the drinks spill. It costs restaurants thousands in lost product and ruins the guest experience.

The Solution

Enter the GrippyTray

Spill less. Serve more. Move faster.

After numerous revisions by the core engineering team (Ellery, Felipe Ramirez, and Asif Rahman), the solution was forged.

This is what makes us unique.

Secure Bottom Grip Patent Pending

The server's hand sits exactly where it always has — the position every server already knows — yet now a secure grip on the underside locks the tray horizontal through violent bumps.

Beveled, Recessed Cup Wells

Each beveled well is open at the base so every beverage sinks all the way down — tested across beer, margarita, and nearly any drinking glass in service — and a dedicated slip seats a wine glass by its stem.

Anti-Slip Upper Lip Patent Pending

Straws, silverware, napkins, chopsticks — the raised lip holds every loose item in place so servers move fast with nothing sliding off.

The Familiar Round

A complete round silhouette that honors the classic circular serving tray — while quietly enhancing the etiquette and confidence of everyone who carries it.

Founder / Origin Story

One dropped tray
started all of this.

From a crowded Colombian restaurant to a U.S. provisional patent application — Felipe Ramirez turned one dropped tray into a safer way to serve.

The final round design adds a protective upper lip and stepped cup supports, securing mixed glassware while keeping the one-hand carry that inspired GrippyTray.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GrippyTray?
The GrippyTray is a patent-pending, multi-purpose beverage serving tray for the hospitality industry. Its 14-inch polycarbonate body carries five drinks in beveled, recessed cup wells around a central ergonomic grip, so servers can deliver a full round without a spill.
How is it different from a classic flat serving tray?
A secure grip on the underside locks the tray horizontal through bumps while the hand stays exactly where servers have always held a tray. Each drink sits down inside its own recessed well instead of balancing on a flat surface, and an anti-slip upper lip keeps straws, napkins, and silverware in place.
What glassware does it hold?
The open-base wells are tested with beer, margarita, and nearly any drinking glass in service, and a dedicated slip seats a wine glass by its stem. Lidded cups and to-go drinks lock in just as well.
Is the GrippyTray dishwasher-safe?
Yes. The tray is molded from commercial-grade polycarbonate and is dishwasher-safe to 135°C, so it runs through standard commercial dish machines shift after shift.
How does the pre-sale work and what does it cost?
Pre-sale pricing is $39 per tray, $375 for ten, or $399 for a bundle of eleven with promo code GRIP50 through September 1st, 2026. Reserving is free — only an email address is needed, and no payment is collected until your order is confirmed.
What does the GrippyTray do for restaurant operations?
Fewer spills and less glass breakage, faster table turns, and safer, more efficient beverage service. One server can deliver a full spill-proof round in a single trip instead of carefully balancing drinks across several.
Who is the GrippyTray for, and how do we partner or distribute?
It is built for the servers, bartenders, and waitstaff of restaurants, hotels, sports bars, nightclubs, breweries, and catering teams. For partnership, wholesale, or distribution inquiries, email contact@grippytray.com or call Felipe at 561.251.5600.
