Why this bar mat earns its place
This is the strip of rubber that keeps a working bar top dry. At 700 mm it runs the length of a pour station rather than sitting under a single tap, so the drips from a free-pour, the run-off when a glass is topped and the water sweating off a chilled bottle all land on the mat instead of the counter. The 100 mm depth keeps it narrow — it takes the front edge of the pour area without stealing the working space behind it where glasses are lined up and tickets are read.
Rubber is the material that makes a bar mat work. It has enough weight to stay where it is put when a glass is set down at speed, and enough grip underneath that it does not creep along a wet counter through a busy session. The green finish marks the strip out clearly against a stainless or dark bar top, which is useful where different stations are given their own kit and staff need to see at a glance which mat belongs where. At changeover the whole strip lifts out in one piece, goes to the sink, and the counter underneath gets a proper wipe — a dry bar top is what stops sticky residue building up through a week of service.
