The PenPal is the very first clip-on, retractable reel for your Sharpie Marker, Pen, or Pencil.
- Easily clip your PenPal onto your apron with a sturdy metal clip, the exact width of your apron for seamless integration that won't tangle up your apron, while staying out of the way during non-use.
- The handy, silicon beehive attachment is compatible with a standard sized Fine Point Sharpie Marker, Standard sized pencil, and most ballpoint pens
- Use during any tasks from marking cups, recording your temp logs, filling out the Cash Management Log, checking off those pesky little boxes while pulling pastries, taking down information over the phone with one hand, or even in class, writing essays!
- The high-strength nylon cord extends to 25 inches with 0 Pull Resistance, so even baristas with the longest of arms can effectively use the PenPal, and zips back up when you are done! You can literally just let go of your marker and let it hang, just waiting for you to grab it for the next cup!
- 100% waterproof, Frap Roast-proof, Frappuccino-proof, milk-proof, and won't break when you're inevitably covered in coffee grinds.
- Comes with the stylish, beautiful, yet sexy Barista Life logo so everybody knows you're about that #BaristaLife!
WHERE IS MY DAMN SHARPIE?!
Take a moment and think, how many times have you cried this out during a rush? If only you had a dollar for each time, you wouldn't even have to work anymore! You could retire to a private island somewhere far away and never worry about where your Sharpie is ever again. Heck, you could even buy a lifetime supply of Sharpie markers to last you till kingdom comes.
- NEVER AGAIN search for a Sharpie Marker!
- NEVER AGAIN write with an old, dried out marker!
- NEVER AGAIN ask your fellow baristas to borrow their marker with a line out the door.
- NEVER AGAIN stand their awkwardly, marker-less while you explain to the customer you don't have a Sharpie
- NEVER AGAIN search your store high and low for your pen that disappeared JUST after you set it down
- NEVER AGAIN forget to check off those pesky little boxes while pulling pastries from the freezer because you "were going to after you got a marker"
- NEVER AGAIN spend half your paycheck on buying new Sharpies because you lose yours after one day of use
- SIGNIFICANTLY cut down order times now that you don't have to fiddle with trying to put your cap back on, just let go of your marker when you're finished using it!
- LEAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS IN AWE when you nonchalantly and seamlessly grab your marker, mark their cup, and ask if there is anything else you can get for them; all in record timing. They'll be sure to gasp, "WHAT IS THAT?! THAT IS AWESOME!"
