The Olympia GM243 is one of those brilliantly simple items that makes a real difference to the feel of a place. It’s not about flashy tech; it’s about thoughtful design.

  • Top Marks for Versatility: It successfully combines three essential tabletop functions in one compact unit.
  • Best with Liquid Chalk: Traditional chalk can be dusty and  harder to clean off perfectly.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Granary Tea Room in Bakewell, Derbyshire, needed a solution to messy tables during the busy tourist season. Their collection of mismatched menu holders and  condiment pots looked unprofessional and  made clearing tables a slow process.

"These organisers were just what we needed. They look the part and  hold everything in one place. Our weekend staff can now clear and  re-lay a table in half the time, and  the little blackboards are brilliant for our scone specials!"

Robert Finch – Manager

By using the Olympia organisers, The Old Granary reduced table turnover time by an average of 90 seconds, allowing them to serve more customers during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack and  check for any transit scuffs.
  • Give it a quick wipe with a clean, damp cloth before first use.
  • If using liquid chalk, simply write your message on the board.
  • Arrange your menus, condiments, and  napkins inside as desired.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down daily with a damp cloth to remove dust and  spills.
  • For the blackboard, a wet cloth is usually sufficient to remove liquid chalk.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scourers which can damage the finish.
  • Do not submerge the unit in water or put it through a dishwasher.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Table Caddy

Not sure what to look for? Choosing the right organiser can make a surprising difference. Here are a few things to consider.

Check the Footprint

Measure your tables first. A good caddy should be big enough to be useful but small enough that it doesn't crowd the dining space or get in the way of plates.

Match Your Vibe

Consider your restaurant's décor. A rustic wooden caddy like this one suits traditional pubs and  cafés, while a sleek metal one might be better for a modern bistro.

Define Its Job

What do you need it to hold? Just salt and  pepper? Or menus, sauce bottles, and  cutlery too? Choose a model like this blackboard table caddy if you need multiple functions.

Think About Cleaning

Look for smooth, wipeable surfaces. Complicated designs with lots of nooks and  crannies can be tricky to clean properly during a busy shift.

Consider Stackability

If storage space is tight, check if the caddies can be stacked when not in use. It's a small detail that can save a lot of shelf space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use regular stick chalk on the blackboard?

A: You can, but for the cleanest look and  easiest wipe-down, we highly recommend using liquid chalk markers.

Q: What is the Olympia GM243 table organiser made from?

A: It's made from a strong and  durable MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard) with a classic brown, wood-effect finish.

Q: Is it heavy for staff to carry?

A: Not at all. It weighs just 0.65kg, so it’s very lightweight and  easy to move, even when fully stocked.

Q: How should I clean it?

A: A simple wipe with a soft, damp cloth is all that's needed. Avoid soaking it in water or using abrasive cleaners.

Q: Will a full A4 menu fit in the holder?

A: It’s designed as a compact unit, making it ideal for smaller A5 menus, drinks lists, or folded A4 menus.

Q: Does it arrive flat-packed?

A: No, it comes fully assembled and  ready to use straight out of the box.

Q: How big is the chalkboard writing area?

A: The entire side panel functions as a chalkboard, giving you a space roughly 21cm wide to write on.

Q: Can the internal sections be removed?

A: The design allows for multiple configurations, giving you the flexibility to store items of different shapes and  sizes, from bottles to sachets.

How a Simple Blackboard Boosts Your Sales

That little blackboard on the side of the organiser is more than just a quaint feature; it's a silent salesperson. Think about it: a customer sits down and  immediately sees a message you've written just for them. It’s the perfect place to put your most profitable items front and  centre. Instead of a 'Soup of the Day', why not try 'Add Halloumi to any salad for £2' or 'Try our new craft gin!'. It’s a direct, low-cost marketing tool that sits right under your customer's nose, prompting impulse buys and  upselling opportunities without a server even having to say a word. It turns a simple caddy into an active part of your sales strategy.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Cafés: An ideal condiment caddy for café tables to hold sugar, stirrers, and  advertise the 'Cake of the Day'.
  • Bistros & Restaurants: Use it as a stylish restaurant table menu stand for drinks lists and  to hold salt and  pepper grinders.
  • Pubs & Bars: Perfect for organising sauce bottles on tables and  using the blackboard to promote quiz nights or guest ales.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: A great addition to checkout counters for holding bags, loyalty cards, and  promoting local produce.
