Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Deli in Harrogate needed a tabletop solution after growing tired of their glass shakers getting chipped and cracked during busy lunch services. They switched to the Olympia acrylic shakers across all 20 of their tables.
"The switch was brilliant. They look just as smart as the old glass ones but we haven't had a single breakage in three months. The staff can see when they need refilling from across the room, which has streamlined our table-turning process. A small change that made a real difference."
Robert Green – Owner, The Corner Deli
The deli has eliminated its monthly budget for replacement shakers, reducing minor operational costs and improving staff efficiency during service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the shaker a quick wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Ensure the shaker is completely dry inside before filling to prevent salt from clumping.
- Unscrew the top, fill to just below the threads, and screw the lid back on securely.
- Always use dry, free-flowing salt for the best dispensing results.
Keeping It Going
- To clean, hand-wash with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals which can scratch the acrylic.
- Check the dispenser holes periodically to ensure they are not blocked with salt residue.
- Regularly wipe down the exterior to remove fingerprints and keep it looking pristine for guests.
- Store empty shakers in a safe place to prevent scratches when not in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this salt shaker dishwasher safe?
A: To maintain its clarity and prevent potential damage from high heat and harsh detergents, we recommend hand-washing with a soft cloth.
Q: What is the capacity of the shaker?
A: While the exact gram capacity varies with salt coarseness, its 125mm height is standard for tabletop use, holding enough for many services before needing a refill.
Q: Can I buy the matching pepper mill separately?
A: Yes, the matching Olympia pepper mill is available under product code CE316, allowing you to create a uniform set.
Q: How durable is the acrylic material?
A: Acrylic is significantly more impact-resistant than glass, making it ideal for busy commercial environments where items are frequently handled and occasionally dropped.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy Acrylic is a Smarter Choice for Your Tables
Ever wondered what makes acrylic different from regular plastic? Think of it as the clever middle ground between fragile glass and cheap, cloudy plastic. While glass looks great, it shatters, creating a safety hazard and replacement cost. Basic plastic is cheap but can quickly look scratched, stained, and tacky. Acrylic gives you the best of both: it has the crystal-clear look of glass but with far greater impact resistance. If you drop an acrylic shaker, it's much more likely to bounce than to shatter into a hundred tiny pieces. This makes it a significantly safer and more durable choice for any busy dining area, from a bustling café to a family-friendly restaurant.
Who Should Buy This?
- Cafés & Bistros: An excellent, hard-wearing choice for busy tables where breakages are a constant concern.
- Workplace Canteens: A cost-effective and easy-to-manage solution for high-traffic, self-service dining areas.
- Pubs & Bars: A safer, shatterproof alternative for indoor and outdoor tables, especially in beer gardens.
- Event & Mobile Caterers: Lightweight and durable, making this commercial salt dispenser perfect for transport and use at any location.
