  • Top Marks for Inclusivity: The deep rim is a brilliantly executed feature for care settings.
  • Reduced Plating Area: The functional rim means slightly less flat surface for creative presentation.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grove Community Hub in Norwich was looking to replace its ageing and  chipped crockery. Their key goal was to find tableware that was not only durable for a high-traffic café but also more user-friendly for their elderly patrons and  visitors with disabilities.

"We switched to the Olympia DW140 plates six months ago, and  the feedback has been wonderful. Our older guests find them much easier to use, and  our volunteers have noticed a significant reduction in spills. They still look brand new, despite constant use and  washing. A truly thoughtful product."

Robert Green – Operations Manager

The switch resulted in a 30% decrease in reported food spillages during lunch service, improving the overall dining environment.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, unpack and  inspect each plate for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Give the plates a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust.
  • Ensure you have adequate, stable shelving for storage that can handle the weight of stacked plates.

Keeping It Going

  • To maintain the lifetime edge-chip warranty, avoid using metal scourers or highly abrasive cleaning agents.
  • When stacking, avoid knocking the edges. These plates are designed to be stacked neatly to save space and  prevent damage.
  • Although oven-safe, avoid extreme temperature changes, such as moving a plate directly from a freezer to a hot oven, to prevent thermal shock.
  • Regularly check dishwasher rinse aid and  detergent levels to prevent streaking and  ensure a perfect finish every time.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure what crockery best suits your business? Here are a few key things to consider.

Material Matters

Vitrified porcelain, like these Olympia plates, offers the best resistance to chipping and  staining, making it ideal for heavy commercial use compared to standard earthenware.

Look for a Warranty

An edge-chip warranty is a sign of confidence from the manufacturer. It’s an investment in crockery that is built to last, saving you money on replacements.

Consider Your Customer

Will standard plates suffice, or would a specialised design, like these raised rim plates, improve your customers' dining experience? Think about accessibility and  ease of use.

Aesthetics and  Ambience

The colour and  style of your tableware should complement your decor and  food presentation. A vibrant colour can make dishes more appealing and  memorable.

Practicality is Key

Always check if the plates are stackable, dishwasher-safe, and  suitable for microwave or oven use. These practical features are essential for a smooth-running kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'fully vitrified' actually mean?

A: It means the porcelain is fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous, incredibly durable, and  resistant to moisture and  stains. It's the gold standard for commercial tableware.

Q: Is the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty complicated to use?

A: The warranty covers chipping on the rim of the plate under normal food service use, reflecting the product's high durability.

Q: Can I really put these plates in a hot commercial oven?

A: Yes, they are designed to be oven-safe, making them versatile for heating food or keeping plates warm before service.

Q: How many plates are in one box?

A: These Olympia DW140 raised rim plates are supplied in a box of 4.

Q: Is the blue colour just a glaze or is it part of the plate?

A: The vibrant colour is part of a durable, fired-on glaze that is food-safe and  won't fade or scratch off with normal use and  washing.

Q: Are these plates heavy to carry?

A: They have a reassuring weight that signals quality, but are not overly heavy for staff or customers to handle. The entire box of four weighs 2.49kg.

Q: Does the deep rim make them difficult to stack?

A: Not at all. They are specifically designed to be stackable, with a stable footprint that saves space while protecting the rims.

Q: What does BS4034 standard mean?

A: BS4034 is the British hotelware standard, which guarantees a certain level of durability, including resistance to crazing (fine cracks in the glaze) and  water absorption.

More Than Just Strong: The Power of Vitrified Porcelain

You often see 'fully vitrified' mentioned with professional crockery, but what does it actually mean for your business? Think of it as levelling up standard porcelain. Vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, causing the clay particles to fuse and  become glass-like. This essentially makes the plate non-porous.

Imagine a regular ceramic mug that, over time, gets stained by tea or coffee. That’s because it's slightly porous. A vitrified plate, on the other hand, won't absorb moisture, oils, or odours from food. This not only makes it far more hygienic and  easier to clean, but it also gives it incredible strength and  resistance to the 'thermal shock' of going from a hot oven to a cooler surface. It's the secret sauce that makes professional tableware last for years, not months.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Care & Nursing Homes: To empower residents with a more independent and  dignified dining experience while minimising spills and  mess.
  • Hospitals & Rehabilitation Centres: For serving meals on durable, hygienic, and  brightly coloured plates that aid patients with visual or motor challenges.
  • Contemporary Bistros & Cafes: To add a vibrant pop of colour and  a unique, deep-set presentation style for dishes like pastas or stews.
  • Special Educational Needs Schools: For robust, chip-resistant tableware that supports students during mealtimes with its easy-to-use design.
