A dumbwaiter elevator is a very small freight elevator that’s intended to carry

objects instead of people. Commercially, you’ll often find them in hospitals,

restaurants, hotels, and schools. They’re now also a popular addition to the home,

with dumbwaiter installation making it easier to move things upstairs and

downstairs.

Why is it Called a Dumbwaiter?

The dumbwaiter’s etymology is based on its function: It’s dumb, meaning silent,

and a waiter, acting like a restaurant waiter or a servant to carry things from place

to place. When dumbwaiters were invented, it was common to have household

servants, and the dumbwaiter could perform some of their work for them. But

unlike a human, a dumbwaiter isn’t seen or heard, hence its name.

What Were Dumbwaiters Used For?

Dumbwaiters were historically used to save household staff time and effort. They

were mainly used to transport food and objects between floors in large houses,

much like how dumbwaiters are used today.
