Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Park View Hotel in Bath was looking to refresh its breakfast buffet presentation to better match its newly refurbished dining room. They needed something sleek, durable, and  uniform to replace their mismatched collection of serving plates.

"We switched to these Olympia trays and  the difference was immediate. The entire buffet line looks cleaner, more professional, and  more inviting. They're tough too – they’ve handled a busy summer season without a single dent, and  they polish up beautifully every morning."

Robert Finch – Operations Manager

The hotel noted that guest satisfaction scores for 'Breakfast Quality and  Presentation' increased by over 20% in the following quarter.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

First Use & Setup

  • Give the tray a good wash with warm, soapy water before first use to remove any residue from manufacturing.
  • Dry it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots and  keep it looking its best.
  • It's ready to use straight away on countertops, buffet risers, or in any GN 1/1 compatible servery unit.

Keeping It Pristine

  • These trays are fully commercial dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and  easy.
  • For the ultimate shine, hand-dry the tray after washing or use a rinse aid in your dishwasher.
  • To bring back a high-gleam finish, use a good quality stainless steel polish and  a microfibre cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch the mirror surface.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Servingware

Not sure what fits your needs best? Here are a few quick tips to help you choose the right serving and  display equipment.

Consider the Depth

Shallow trays like this are perfect for presentation. For holding hot, liquid-based foods like curry or gravy, you'll need a deeper gastronorm pan.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the undisputed king for commercial kitchens. It's hygienic, incredibly durable, and  has a professional look that's hard to beat.

Finish for Effect

A mirror finish looks stunning under display lights and  adds a premium feel. For high-touch areas, a satin or brushed finish is better at hiding fingerprints.

Check Your Sizing

Always double-check that the GN size (e.g., 1/1, 1/2, 1/3) matches your existing equipment like fridges, ovens, and  bains-marie for a perfect fit.

Think About Handling

If staff will be carrying trays frequently, look for lightweight options that are still robust. It reduces fatigue and  the risk of accidents during a busy service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does GN 1/1 actually mean?

A: It refers to 'Gastronorm 1/1', which is a standard European size for food containers, measuring 530 x 325mm. It ensures the tray will fit in compatible commercial equipment.

Q: Can I use this tray in a hot oven?

A: While stainless steel is oven-safe, this is a thin presentation tray. It's designed for ambient, chilled, or hot-holding displays up to a certain temperature. For high-heat cooking, a purpose-built gastronorm pan is recommended.

Q: Is the stainless steel food-grade?

A: Absolutely. This Olympia stainless steel tray is made from high-quality, food-safe materials specifically for commercial catering environments.

Q: How do I stop fingerprints showing on the mirror finish?

A: A quick wipe with a dry microfibre cloth is the best way. For more stubborn marks, a tiny amount of stainless steel cleaner will have it gleaming again.

Q: Will this tray rust over time?

A: The high-grade stainless steel is extremely resistant to rust. To keep it in top condition, simply ensure it's dried properly after washing and not left to soak for long periods.

Q: Are the edges sharp?

A: No, the tray is designed for professional use. The edges are rolled and  finished to be smooth and  safe for quick handling.

Q: Can I stack these trays for storage?

A: Yes, they stack neatly. For best results and  to protect the mirror finish from scratches, you can place a simple liner like a paper towel between each tray.

Q: What's the main difference between this and  a standard gastronorm pan?

A: This is a shallow presentation tray with a bright, mirror finish designed to make food look good. A standard gastronorm pan is usually deeper with a satin finish and  is built for the rigours of cooking and  hot holding.
