Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Corner Perk," a bustling coffee house in York, was looking to update its tableware to match a recent industrial-chic refurbishment. Their old, mismatched white crockery felt dated and  was prone to chipping, detracting from the new decor.

"We wanted something that looked the part but could handle dozens of dishwasher cycles a day. The Olympia charcoal saucers were perfect. They look incredibly smart, the colour is stunning against our wooden tables, and  they're so much tougher than our previous set. Customers have even commented on how nice they are!"

Robert Green – Proprietor

Since the switch, the cafe has significantly reduced its monthly spend on replacement crockery due to the superior chip resistance.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each saucer for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give the full set a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before its first use to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing.
  • Stack them neatly, ready for service. Avoid creating towers that are too high, as this can put stress on the items at the bottom.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent scratching, avoid scraping sharp metal objects (like spoons) harshly against the glazed surface.
  • When loading into a dishwasher, ensure saucers aren't rattling against each other to maximise their lifespan.
  • Avoid 'thermal shock' by not taking a saucer from a hot oven or dishwasher and  placing it directly onto a cold or wet surface.
  • Regularly check for any signs of damage and  remove any chipped items from service immediately to maintain safety standards.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Crockery

Not sure which tableware is right for your business? Here are a few quick tips to help you decide.

Material Matters

Stoneware, like this saucer, offers a rustic, robust feel and  is great for durability. Porcelain is often lighter and  more traditional. Choose what best fits your brand.

Define Your Style

The colour and  shape of your crockery have a huge impact. This Olympia FF997 charcoal saucer is perfect for modern, industrial, or minimalist themes.

Check Compatibility

If you're only buying saucers, make sure they fit your existing cups. The base of the cup should sit securely within the saucer's inner ring to prevent sliding.

Prioritise Durability

In a commercial setting, always look for features like rolled edges and  a hard-wearing glaze. These are designed to save you money in the long run.

Think in Bulk

Buying in packs, like this 12-pack, is almost always more cost-effective than buying individual pieces and  ensures you have a consistent look.

Consider the Practicalities

Ensure your chosen crockery is dishwasher, microwave, and  oven safe if you need that flexibility. It makes life in a busy kitchen so much easier.

A: It's a solid, deep charcoal grey colour with a semi-matte glaze, providing a consistent and  modern finish.

More Than Just a Pretty Edge: Why Soft-Rolled Rims Matter

You’ve probably seen 'soft-rolled edges' listed as a feature, but what does it actually mean for your busy kitchen? Think of it as a built-in bumper for your crockery. Instead of having a thin, sharp edge that’s vulnerable to chipping, the rim of the saucer is subtly thickened and  rounded off. This seemingly small detail makes a huge difference in a commercial setting.

It’s designed to absorb the force from everyday impacts – like being stacked quickly, jostled in the dishwasher, or knocked against another plate on a tray. That little bit of extra stoneware material distributes the shock, dramatically reducing the chances of getting those frustrating little nicks and  chips that make tableware look tired and  unprofessional. It’s a simple, clever piece of design that extends the life of your saucers and  protects your investment.
