Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Hotel in Brighton was revamping its afternoon tea service and  Sunday carvery buffet, aiming for a more cohesive and  luxurious look. Their mix-and-match platters were letting the side down, looking tired and  unprofessional.

"We needed displayware that looked the part but could also survive a frantic weekend service. The APS platters were spot on. They look fantastic, they're incredibly sturdy, and  being a standard GN size has made our kitchen workflow so much smoother."

Robert Davies – Food & Beverage Manager

Since the switch, the hotel reports that the new, uniform presentation has contributed to a 25% increase in positive online reviews mentioning the food display.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect the platter for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Dry completely with a soft, clean cloth to ensure a spotless, streak-free finish for its debut.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean after each use to maintain hygiene standards and  its high-polish look.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners which can scratch the stainless steel surface.
  • Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots and  maintain its brilliant shine.
  • When storing, stack carefully to avoid scratching the polished surface of the platter below.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Catering Displayware

Not sure which platter or display dish is the right fit for your business? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Consider Size & Capacity

Think about what you'll be serving most often. A large gastronorm 1/1 stainless presentation dish is great for roasts or large salads, while smaller sizes are better for canapés or individual desserts.

Material Matters

A stainless steel serving tray commercial grade is the industry standard for durability and  hygiene. Materials like melamine, slate, or wood can offer a different aesthetic but may have different care requirements.

Match Your Aesthetic

Does your brand have a modern, rustic, or classic feel? Choose displayware that complements your overall decor and  brand identity to create a cohesive customer experience.

Check for Stackability

If storage space is at a premium (and when isn't it?), always look for platters with a stackable design. It’s a simple feature that makes a huge difference to keeping your kitchen organised.

Think About Compatibility

Ensure your new platters will fit your existing equipment. Sticking to standard GN sizes is the easiest way to guarantee everything works together, from your ovens to your servery.
