- Top-Tier Grip: The non-slip coating is incredibly effective, even with condensation from cold glasses.
- Acoustics: Being aluminium, it can be a bit noisy if knocked against tables.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Swan Inn, a popular gastropub in Stratford-upon-Avon, needed to improve its front-of-house efficiency. Their old, smooth-surfaced trays were leading to frequent, costly spillages during the hectic weekend service, slowing down staff and impacting customer experience.
"We were losing money on wasted drinks and our new staff were nervous carrying full trays. Switching to these Olympia non-slip trays has been brilliant. The team is more confident, service is faster, and we've almost completely eliminated spills. They paid for themselves in the first month just from savings on breakages."
Michael Edwards – General Manager
The result was a marked improvement in table turnaround times and a significant drop in glassware replacement costs.

Setting It Up

Keeping It Going
- Wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth after every use to maintain hygiene.

- Stack carefully when storing to prevent scratching the surface of the tray below.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this tray dishwasher safe?
A: We strongly advise against it. To protect the integrity of the non-slip surface, it's best to hand wash with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water.
Q: What is the tray made from?
A: It features a durable and lightweight aluminium body with a bonded PS (Polystyrene) plastic non-slip surface for maximum grip.
Q: How much does it weigh?
A: It's very light for its size, weighing just 470 grams, which helps reduce staff fatigue during a long shift.
Q: Can these trays be stacked?
A: Yes, they can be stacked for convenient storage. We recommend stacking them carefully to avoid scratching the surfaces.
Q: Will the non-slip surface wear off over time?
A: With proper care (avoiding harsh chemicals and scourers), the durable surface is designed for long-lasting performance in a commercial environment.
Q: Is the surface sticky to the touch?
A: No, not at all. It's a textured, high-friction surface, not a sticky coating, so it feels clean and professional to handle.
Q: Can it hold hot drinks like coffee and tea?
A: Absolutely. It's perfectly suitable for carrying hot mugs and cups, making it an ideal aluminium cafe serving tray.
Q: Is it rigid or does it flex when loaded?
A: The aluminium construction provides excellent rigidity. It's designed to carry a full load of heavy glasses without flexing or bending.

You might think a non-slip surface is just a bit of rubbery material, but there's more to it. The high-friction surface on the Olympia D857 isn't sticky; it's a specially engineered texture designed to maximise grip and prevent movement, even when things get a bit wet from condensation.
Think of it like the difference between a bald tyre and a brand-new one on a wet road. A smooth tray is like the bald tyre – any bit of water means it aquaplanes and loses control. This tray's textured surface acts like tyre tread, creating thousands of tiny contact points that grip the base of a glass, ensuring it stays put whether you're walking briskly, turning a corner, or placing it down on a table. It's this clever design that turns a potential disaster into a routine delivery.
