ABSTRACT:
A compartmentalized waiter tray comprised of a light weight, hand carried device which functions in conjunction with a plurality of drink receptacles, or other glasses, removably retained within a plurality of compartments of an industry standard dishwashing rack to provide a quick and easy method for transporting the glasses without subsequent drink receptacle migration due to gravity and inertia and to position the drink receptacles for filling with ice or fluent drinking matter of both via automatic or semi-automatic methods; and the compartmentalized waiter tray is formed with a plurality of compartments extending above the upper surface of the tray in a pre-defined pattern to match the pre-defined pattern which the plurality of drink receptacles occupy within a plurality of compartments of the industry standard dishwashing rack; the plurality of compartments of the compartmentalized waiter tray further comprising an upper surface, internal partitions (which extend upward less than one quarter of the height of the drink receptacle and) align with the internal partitions of the industry standard dishwashing rack and are raised to a lower level than the perimeter partitions which (extend less than one half of the height of the drink receptacle and) surround the outside perimeter partitions of the industry standard dishwashing rack which align the plurality of drink receptacles with the plurality of compartments within the compartmentalized waiter tray, and a refuse bin defined by the upper surface, the raised bevelled edge, and the perimeter partitions to contain debris found within the drink receptacles after they have been used.
