One of the primary perks of introducing dumbwaiters into nurseries and care facilities is the simplicity with which items such as food, children's supplies, pills, linen and inventory can be moved up and down the different floors. In a daycare, staff can use the dumbwaiter to move snacks, craft supplies, and other small items from the kitchen on the first floor to the play area on the second floor — all in a safe and efficient manner.
