  • Con: The highly polished surface can show fingerprints if not wiped carefully.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare needed to standardise its serving platters across its multiple event spaces to improve both efficiency and  presentation for its busy wedding season. They were using a mix of worn, mismatched trays that looked unprofessional.

"We switched to the Olympia K368 trays and  the difference was immediate. Our service staff find them lighter to carry, and  the uniform, polished look has really elevated our drinks receptions. They clean up perfectly in the dishwasher and  stack away neatly, which is a huge bonus for our limited storage space."

Robert Davies – Events Manager

The switch resulted in a 20% faster turnaround for clearing and  setting up for events, coupled with consistently positive feedback from clients on the professional presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash the tray thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Rinse and  dry completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots on the polished surface.
  • Visually inspect the tray to ensure it's in perfect condition before you put it into service.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, rinse or wash the tray soon after use to prevent food from drying on.
  • While dishwasher safe, avoid using harsh, abrasive scourers or steel wool which can scratch the finish.
  • To maintain its shine, use a microfibre cloth for drying and  polishing.
  • Always ensure trays are completely dry before stacking to prevent water marks and  bacteria growth.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Servingware

Not sure which serving tray is the perfect fit for your business? Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Material Matters

Stainless steel, like this Olympia tray, is the industry standard for a reason. It offers an unbeatable combination of durability, hygiene, and  a professional look that plastic or melamine can't match.

Size and  Capacity

Consider what you'll be serving most. This large 550mm oval service tray is brilliant for canapés or drinks rounds. For smaller, individual items, you might look at smaller round or rectangular options.

Shape and  Style

An oval shape is a classic choice for canapés and  buffet service as it's easy to carry. Rectangular trays are great for fitting neatly on bars or buffet tables, maximising space.

Ease of Handling

Look for features like a raised rim, which prevents spills, and  a lightweight design. This reduces staff fatigue and  minimises accidents during busy service periods.

Storage Solutions

In a commercial kitchen, space is always at a premium. Always check if trays are stackable. A good nesting design can save a huge amount of valuable shelf space.

How Smart Stacking Saves Valuable Kitchen Space

You see 'Stackable' listed as a feature, but what does that really mean for your kitchen? It's more than just placing one tray on top of another. The Olympia K368 is designed to nest securely. Think of it like a set of Russian dolls versus a wobbly pile of dinner plates. The shape allows each tray to sit snugly within the one below it, creating a stable, compact tower that won't slide about or topple over. This design means you can store a dozen trays in the vertical space that two or three poorly designed ones might take up, freeing up precious shelf and  counter space for other essential equipment.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Conference Hotels: Perfect for serving welcome drinks, coffee break refreshments, or canapés during corporate events and  functions.
  • Pubs and  Bars: An ideal solution for carrying large rounds of drinks or serving sharing platters to tables.
  • Event Caterers: A durable and  stackable must-have for transporting and  serving food elegantly at weddings and  parties.
  • Bistros & Cafés: Excellent for clearing multiple tables efficiently or presenting afternoon tea with a professional touch.
