GP PRO's New Dixie Ultra® Take-Two Interfold Napkin Dispenser Slashes Waste, Increases Speed-of-Service and Elevates Operational Efficiency ATLANTA, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GP PRO, a division of Georgia-Pacific and leading innovator of advanced dispensing and smart monitoring solutions, today 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%. 1

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. 2 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% 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.
