Expert Review and  Insights

The Olympia C117 is the definition of a 'smart buy' for any high-volume establishment. It's not trying to be fancy; it's designed to be a reliable tool. The real genius is its 18/0 steel construction – not only does it keep the cost down, but the magnetic quality is a huge operational plus for preventing accidental waste, which is a constant headache in busy kitchens.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: A true workhorse. It's tough, budget-friendly, and  the magnetic feature is a real money-saver.
  • Cons: The simple design may be too basic for fine-dining restaurants.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Deli in Harrogate needed to upgrade their entire cutlery collection. Their old, mismatched forks were looking tired and  unprofessional, but as a small business, their budget was tight.

"We needed something that looked smart but could handle being washed a dozen times a day. The Olympia C117 forks were spot on. They have a nice shine, feel sturdy, and  the price for a box of 12 was fantastic. Our customers have even commented on how much nicer the new cutlery is."

Susan Miller – Owner, The Corner Deli

By switching to a single, uniform style, the deli instantly elevated its table presentation and  simplified its wash-up and  sorting process, saving valuable staff time each day.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, give the forks a quick check to ensure they're all perfect.
  • Run them through a full cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Store them in a clean, dry cutlery tray or cylinder, ready for service.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent food acids from causing marks, try to wash cutlery soon after use.
  • Always use a non-abrasive detergent to protect the high-polish finish.
  • For the best results and  a sparkling shine, dry the forks with a soft cloth immediately after washing.
  • If you use a magnetic cutlery saver, ensure it's kept clean to remain effective.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Cutlery

Not sure which cutlery is right for your tables? Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Material Matters

18/0 steel (like this fork) is magnetic and  highly affordable. 18/10 steel contains nickel, making it less magnetic but offering superior rust resistance for very humid environments.

Weight and  Feel

The weight of cutlery contributes to the perceived quality. This stainless steel dining fork has a solid feel without being overly heavy, making it ideal for casual dining.

Consider Your Style

A simple, polished design like the Olympia C117 is versatile and  timeless. Ornate patterns can look premium but may not fit every decor and  can be harder to clean.

Dishwasher Durability

Always check that cutlery is rated for commercial dishwashers. Domestic cutlery won't stand up to the high temperatures and  harsh detergents used in professional kitchens.

Plan for Replacements

Cutlery inevitably goes missing. Choosing a popular, widely-stocked range like this Olympia fork means you can easily buy replacements for years to come, keeping your sets complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these forks fully commercial dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, absolutely. They are designed to withstand the rigours of daily use in a commercial dishwasher.

Q: What exactly does 18/0 stainless steel mean?

A: It refers to the composition of the steel: 18% chromium for corrosion resistance and  0% nickel. This makes it durable, affordable, and  magnetic.

Q: Will they rust?

A: 18/0 stainless steel offers good rust resistance. To keep them in top condition, avoid leaving them to soak for long periods and  dry them after washing.

Q: What is the finish like?

A: They have a high-polish, mirror-like finish that gives them a bright, clean, and  professional appearance.

Q: Are they heavy or light?

A: They have a pleasant, medium weight. They feel substantial and not at all flimsy, which customers appreciate.

Q: Can I buy these forks individually?

A: To provide the best value, these are sold in packs of 12, making it easy to stock your entire establishment.

Q: Is this Olympia C117 fork suitable for a formal dining restaurant?

A: With its simple, uncomplicated design, it's best suited for casual dining settings like cafés, pubs, bistros, and  canteens. For fine dining, you might prefer a more ornate or heavier-weight design.

Q: Are they actually magnetic?

A: Yes. The 18/0 stainless steel construction means they will be picked up by a cutlery-saving magnet, helping to reduce accidental loss.

Why Magnetic Cutlery is a Smart Choice for Your Business

Ever wonder why some stainless steel is magnetic and  some isn't? It's all down to a metal called nickel. This Olympia C117 fork is made from 18/0 stainless steel, which means it contains 18% chromium for shine and  durability, but 0% nickel. This lack of nickel is what makes it magnetic, and  that's a huge hidden benefit for your business.

Think of it like a safety net for your cutlery. When staff clear plates into a bin, it's incredibly easy for forks and  spoons to get scraped away with the food waste. But if you place a 'cutlery saver' magnet over your bin opening, these 18/0 steel forks will stick to it instead of being thrown away. It’s a simple, passive system that can save you hundreds of pounds a year in replacement costs.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants & Bistros: Perfect for high-turnover establishments needing durable, easy-to-clean restaurant table fork sets that always look presentable.
  • Canteens & Halls: An excellent, cost-effective choice for schools, universities, and  workplace cafeterias where durability is key.
  • Event Catering Companies: A reliable and  easily transportable commercial cutlery fork that offers a professional look for any event.
  • Cafés & Tea Rooms: Ideal for daily service, pairing perfectly with everything from a lunchtime sandwich to a slice of cake.
