Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Lounge, a busy hotel bar in Manchester, was struggling with drink spillages during its hectic weekend service. This was not only causing mess but also slowing the team down and  leading to wasted stock.

"These trays have been brilliant. Our team feel so much more confident carrying full orders, and  we've had far fewer accidents. They just work, plain and  simple."

David Mitchell – Bar Manager

The switch to the Kristallon non-slip trays resulted in a measured reduction in drink spillages of over 80% during peak hours, significantly improving staff efficiency and  confidence.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Straight out of the box, just give it a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • There is no assembly required – it's ready for service immediately.
  • If you're pairing it with the C163 tray stand, simply ensure the stand is opened fully on a level surface.

Keeping It Going

  • After use, wipe it down with a damp cloth and  a mild detergent.
  • To protect the grippy surface, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh cleaning chemicals.
  • Allow the tray to air dry completely before stacking or storing it away.
  • Stack them carefully to prevent scratching and  prolong their professional appearance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serving Tray

Not sure which tray is the perfect fit for your team? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Shape & Size

Oval trays, like this one, are often better for navigating tight spaces and  crowds. The size you need depends on your menu – larger is better for clearing tables, smaller might be fine for just drinks.

Material Matters

Look for materials like polypropylene that offer a great balance of strength, low weight, and  durability. It’s ideal for the demands of daily commercial use without being too heavy for staff.

The Non-Slip Factor

For any establishment serving drinks, a non-slip surface is non-negotiable. A bonded rubber layer provides far superior grip and  longevity compared to a simple textured plastic finish.

Consider the Carrier

A heavy tray can lead to staff fatigue over a long and  busy shift. Always check the weight to find a balance between sturdiness and  user comfort.

Storage Solutions

Where will you keep them? If space is tight, check that the trays are designed to stack neatly and  securely to make the most of your storage area.

Why a Bonded Non-Slip Surface Matters

You might see 'non-slip' on lots of trays, but not all are created equal. A 'bonded' non-slip surface, like the one on this polypropylene serving tray 685mm, means the grippy rubber layer is fused directly onto the polypropylene base during manufacturing. It isn't just a sticker or a coating that can peel away over time with washing and  use.

Think of it like the difference between painting a line on a road and  using proper, molten thermoplastic. The painted line will fade and  chip away, but the thermoplastic becomes part of the road itself. This bonded surface provides a reliable, long-lasting grip that you can count on, ensuring glassware and  crockery stay put for the entire life of the tray.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Bars: Absolutely essential for carrying large, tricky rounds of drinks safely through a packed-out venue without any spills.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: Perfect for clearing multiple table settings in one go, helping to improve turnaround times on your busiest nights.
  • Event Caterers: A must-have for serving canapés and  drinks efficiently at weddings, conferences, and  functions where professionalism is key.
  • Hotel Room Service: The large oval service tray easily accommodates a full meal for a premium in-room dining experience.
