The Olympia DB947 is the definition of a catering workhorse.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Real-World Durability: The toughened build genuinely holds up to daily knocks and  busy glasswasher cycles.
  • Not for Measures: As they aren't CE marked, you can't use them for draught beer or wine.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Causeway Café in Giant's Causeway, County Antrim, was struggling with glassware that looked cloudy and  chipped within weeks of purchase, detracting from their otherwise pristine setup. They needed a more robust solution for their high-volume tourist trade.

"We were going through glasses like nobody's business, and  it was starting to look unprofessional. These Olympia tumblers have been absolutely brilliant – they look the part, feel sturdy, and  we've barely had to replace any in months. A huge relief."

Sean McAllister – Café Manager

Since making the switch, the café has reduced its glassware replacement costs by over 50% and  saved significant staff time on polishing.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before anything else, give all 12 glasses a thorough check for any damage that might have occurred in transit.
  • It's essential to run them through a full cycle in your glasswasher before their first use to ensure they are perfectly clean.
  • For a sparkling, streak-free finish, always make sure your glasswasher's rinse aid is topped up.

Keeping It Going

  • Stack them carefully rim-down when clean. This prevents the rims from chipping and  stops a vacuum from forming.
  • To maintain their clarity, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals which can scratch the surface.
  • Regularly check glasses for any new chips or cracks – especially around the rim – and  take them out of service immediately.
  • If you get cloudiness from hard water, an occasional soak in a light vinegar and  water solution will bring back the shine.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Glassware

Not sure what fits best in your busy bar or café? Choosing the right glass is about more than just looks. Here are a few tips to help you decide.

Durability is King

In a commercial environment, breakages are a major cost. Toughened or tempered glass, like this, drastically cuts down on replacement orders and  pays for itself over time.

Check Your Space

Measure your shelf height and  glasswasher racks. Stackable toughened glassware is an absolute lifesaver for kitchens and  bars where space is at a premium.

Consider Cost-Per-Use

Buying in packs of 12 or 24 is far more economical for stocking a new venue or replacing a full set than buying glasses individually.

When CE Marking Matters

If you're serving measured drinks like wine, beer, or spirits by the glass, you legally need CE-marked glassware. These tumblers are for unmeasured drinks only.

Factor in Cleaning

Always, always look for dishwasher or commercial glasswasher safe tumblers. Anything else will create a major bottleneck during a busy service.

What 'Toughened Glass' Actually Means for Your Business

You see 'toughened' on glassware all the time, but what does it really mean? In simple terms, it's glass that's been given superpowers. Standard glass is cooled slowly, making it brittle. Toughened glass, however, goes through a process of intense heating followed by rapid cooling. This forces the outer surface of the glass to cool much faster than the inside.

Think of it like a suit of armour. This process creates a 'stressed' or compressed outer layer that's incredibly resistant to knocks, bumps, and  sudden temperature changes – like when a cool glass is hit with hot water in a glasswasher. It won't make it indestructible, but it means it's far less likely to chip or shatter from the everyday chaos of a commercial bar or kitchen, saving you money and  hassle in the long run.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Cafes & Diners

    Perfect for serving water, fresh juice, and  fizzy drinks that need to withstand constant, heavy use and  fast washing cycles.

  • Traditional Pubs & Bars

    A classic, no-nonsense choice for serving mixers and  softs that won't break the bank or shatter at the slightest knock.

  • Canteens & Event Venues

    A cost-effective and  highly durable solution for high-volume catering where accidental breakages are a regular occurrence.

  • Hotels & Guesthouses

    Ideal for in-room water glasses or for a busy breakfast service, offering simple, clean style and  dependable reliability.
