Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Severn View Bistro' in Shrewsbury were constantly dealing with minor spills during their hectic lunch service, leading to extra clean-up time and  the occasional lost drink. They needed a simple, effective solution.

"These trays have made a noticeable difference. The staff are more confident carrying full orders, and  we've had far fewer accidents since we brought them in. The grip is brilliant, and  they wipe clean in a second."

Robert Evans – Owner

The bistro reported a significant reduction in drink-related spills, allowing staff to focus more on customer service rather than mopping floors.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, remove all packaging and  give the trays a quick wipe with a damp cloth.
  • They are ready for immediate use – no assembly required.
  • If you have multiple trays, they are designed to stack perfectly for easy storage.
  • Check for any transit damage before first use.

Keeping It Going

  • Crucially: Do not put this tray in a commercial dishwasher. The high temperatures can damage the material.
  • Clean with warm, soapy water and  a soft cloth or sponge after each use.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the surface.
  • Allow to air dry completely or wipe with a dry cloth before stacking to maintain hygiene.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serving Tray

Not sure which tray is right for your operation? Let's break down the key things to consider.

Material Matters

Polypropylene, like this Kristallon tray, offers a brilliant balance of durability, low weight, and  cost. Other options like fibreglass are also very strong, while laminate trays can offer more decorative finishes.

Surface is Key

A non-slip surface is a must for any business carrying drinks or soupy dishes. It reduces accidents, saves money on breakages, and  gives your staff confidence during busy periods.

Size and  Shape

Consider what you'll be carrying. A rectangular tray like this is great for plated meals. Round trays are often preferred for carrying just drinks. Check the dimensions to ensure it fits your plates and  your storage space.

Stackability for Storage

In a busy kitchen, space is always at a premium. Trays that can be stacked neatly are essential for keeping your workspace organised and  accessible.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for trays with non-porous surfaces that won't absorb stains or odours. Always check if a tray is dishwasher safe, as this can be a major time-saver for some businesses.

More Than Just Grip: How the Non-Slip Surface Works for You

Ever wondered what makes a 'non-slip' surface so effective? With the Kristallon C559 tray, it’s not a sticky coating that will wear off. Instead, the polypropylene material is moulded with a very fine, raised texture. This creates thousands of microscopic ridges and  valleys across the surface.

Think of it like the tread on a car tyre. A smooth, bald tyre will aquaplane on a wet road, but a tyre with good tread channels the water away and  maintains grip. Similarly, when a wet glass is placed on this tray, the textured surface provides countless points of friction, preventing the glass from sliding around. It's a clever, permanent design feature that provides security, not a temporary chemical coating.

Who Should Buy This?

  • School & Workplace Canteens: Perfect for self-service lines, reducing spills and  improving safety for users of all ages.
  • Bustling Pubs & Bars: Ideal for carrying large rounds of drinks from the bar to tables without any sliding.
  • Hotel Room Service: A smart, professional, and  secure way to deliver meals and  beverages directly to guest rooms.
  • Busy Cafés & Diners: Helps waiting staff navigate crowded floors confidently, ensuring orders arrive safely at the table.
