The fruit pick in two lines
This is the stainless steel fruit pick: a garnish pick that spears an olive, a cherry or a twist and sets it in the glass. It gets washed and goes back into service.
Who it is for
For anyone garnishing with something that has to stay put. A garnish resting on the ice slides to the bottom within a minute: speared, it stays where it was placed.
Reusable rather than single use
That is the choice that changes the sums. A steel fruit pick pays for itself and looks the part, but it needs the glasses to come back: it is a piece of cutlery, so it returns to the bar, gets washed and gets counted. Single use is not managed but bought again, and it is what gets chosen by anyone working large volumes or serving a lot to tables, where a share never comes back.

What actually goes on it
Olives, cherries, cubes of fruit, rolled twists. Anything that has to stay in one place and that the guest can take off to eat. What makes no sense on a pick is the slice hooked on the rim, which stands on its own, and the expressed twist that floats: those are simply laid on.
How many you need
At least as many as the garnished drinks that can be out at the same time, plus a reserve. It is a different sum from the one for consumables: a pick only comes back to the bar when the glass does, so the number depends on how many drinks are out in the room at once and not on how many you make in a night.
Washing, done properly
It goes in the dishwasher, and that is half the advantage. The other half is where you put it: in an open basket a thin pick slips through the mesh and ends up on the floor of the machine, so it goes upright in the cutlery basket. Anyone washing a lot of them at once uses a perforated container, which is also the way to count them coming out.
The return from the table
That is the weak point of any reusable tool used in the room. A pick that ends up in a napkin or on a cleared side plate does not come back, and over a two hundred cover night the losses add up. The working rule is to check the side plates before emptying them, and to consider single use where table service is fast.
Care
Wash straight after use, because citrus juice and olive brine left on steel attack it over time. Dry fully before putting away, and store in a closed container: a pick left on the bar picks up what is on the bar.
The length, chosen on the glass
A pick has to stand proud enough to be taken hold of without putting fingers in the drink. On a low tumbler any size works; in a tall highball a short pick disappears, and the guest goes in after it. That is the check to make with the glass you actually use, before you order.
