Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Willow Creek Bistro in the Lake District was looking to replace its collection of mismatched and  frequently chipped water carafes. They needed a uniform, durable, and  professional-looking solution to handle their busy tourist season.

"We were constantly replacing our old carafes; they were either breaking in the wash or getting knocked over by staff in a hurry. These Olympia jugs are far sturdier and  the team loves how easy they are to handle and  pour. They simply look the part on the table."

Robert Green – General Manager

After switching to the Olympia GM575 jugs, the bistro saw its glassware breakage costs fall by over 50% in the first quarter.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before the first use, always run the jugs through a full glasswasher cycle to ensure they are clean and  sterile.
  • Carefully inspect each jug for any hairline cracks or chips that may have occurred during shipping.
  • When not in use, stack them carefully in a low, stable position to prevent chipping and  breakages.

Keeping It Going

  • Load into your glasswasher racks securely, ensuring they don't knock against other items during the cycle.
  • To prevent cloudiness from hard water, always use a quality rinse aid in your machine.
  • Regularly inspect the rim and  handle for any new chips; remove any damaged jugs from service immediately for safety.
  • For a crystal-clear finish, give them a quick polish with a dry, microfibre glass cloth after washing.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Water Jug

Need a hand picking the perfect jug? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Consider the Capacity

A 0.5L jug like this one is perfect for tables of two. For larger groups or events, consider 1L or 1.5L options to save your staff from constant refill trips.

Material Matters

Glass offers a classic, premium feel that customers appreciate. If you're serving outdoors or in a high-breakage area, you might look at durable polycarbonate alternatives.

Functionality is Key

Little features can make a big impact on service. An ice lip is great for iced water, while a lid can be useful for pre-filled jugs in conference settings.

Prioritise Easy Cleaning

Always check if a product is commercial dishwasher or glasswasher safe. This is a non-negotiable time-saver in any professional kitchen, bar, or café.

Get a Handle On It

A well-designed, sturdy handle makes carrying and  pouring much safer and  more comfortable for your team, especially during a hectic dinner rush.
