Spa Dispensary
The dispensary is primarily used for the storage and mixing of spa product preparations by spa employees. This area also is used to clean spa treatment utensils and equipment. An enclosed pantry is required to support the beverage and snack service for the relaxation lounges. Equipment may vary by location based on extent of food/beverage service offered. Include separate work areas for beverage and snack service.
Provide one dispensary located near the treatment rooms to provide employees with convenient access before and after each spa treatment. Do not provide a line of sight into this area from the guest areas. Provide these areas with direct access to service circulation corridors.
Provide one centrally located pantry which services relaxation lounges, locker rooms and treatment rooms. At smaller spas the dispensary may serve this function.
