Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a bustling café in the heart of Cardiff, decided their old white plates were looking tired and  wanted tableware that matched their new, modern interior. They needed something stylish but exceptionally durable to handle hundreds of covers a day.

"We wanted something that felt special but could handle the chaos of a weekend service. These bowls were the answer. They look fantastic and  are tough as old boots. Customers are always commenting on them."

David Williams – Owner

Since the switch, their social media engagement has increased, with more customers photographing and  tagging their dishes, and  they haven't had to replace a single bowl due to chipping in over four months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unbox and  check each bowl for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Always give new tableware a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before its first use.
  • For serving hot food, you can gently pre-heat the bowls in a plate warmer or a low-temperature oven.
  • Plan your storage – they stack securely to help keep your shelves organised and  save valuable space.

Keeping It Going

  • To ensure the best cleaning results, rinse off heavy food residue before loading into the dishwasher.
  • The tough glazed finish is resistant to scratches, but avoid using abrasive metal scourers to keep it pristine.
  • Let the dishwasher complete its full drying cycle to avoid water spots and  ensure they are ready for service.
  • Remember, the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty has you covered for any accidental chips on the rim during normal use!

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serveware

Not sure what fits best for your menu? Here’s a quick guide to choosing the right commercial serveware for your business.

Material Matters

Fully vitrified porcelain like this offers the best blend of elegance and  extreme durability for busy environments. It resists chipping, staining, and  thermal shock.

Consider the Cuisine

While this mineral sloping serving bowl 175mm is brilliant for presented sides, desserts, and  salads, you'll want flat plates for main courses and  deep bowls for soups.

Durability is Key

Look for features like a 'rolled edge' and  an 'edge-chip warranty'. These are sure signs that the product is built to last in a professional setting, saving you money on replacements.

Back-of-House Practicality

Is it stackable? Can it go in the oven, microwave, and  dishwasher? These practical features are non-negotiable for a smooth, efficient kitchen operation.

Match Your Brand

Your tableware is a key part of your customer's experience. Choose colours and  styles, like the rustic look of the Olympia Mineral range, that complement your brand's identity.

Check Certifications

The BS4034 certification is the British standard for hotelware. It's an independent guarantee that your crockery can withstand the rigours of heavy commercial use.

What Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

Ever wondered what makes some crockery so much tougher than others? Often, it's vitrification. In simple terms, 'fully vitrified' means the porcelain has been fired at an extremely high temperature until all the tiny pores in the material have sealed up, making it glassy and  non-porous. Think of it like turning a regular sponge into a solid glass marble. Water, oils, and  bacteria can't get in, so it doesn't stain, absorb old flavours, or weaken over time. It's this process that gives this Olympia serving bowl mineral its incredible strength and  hygienic properties, making it perfect for the non-stop demands of a commercial environment.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bistros and  Gastropubs: Perfect for presenting signature starters, creative sides, or delectable desserts with a rustic, modern edge.
  • Artisan Cafés: Ideal for showcasing vibrant salads, gourmet porridge, or special pasta dishes on the daily menu.
  • Boutique Hotels: A brilliant choice for in-room dining or restaurant service, thanks to its durable, hotel-grade certification.
  • Event Caterers: The stackable, hardwearing design makes it a reliable and  stylish option for serving at weddings and  functions.
