Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View restaurant in Falmouth, Cornwall, was struggling with constant crockery replacements due to chipping from their previous supplier. They needed a more robust and  professional solution for their busy seaside service without sacrificing style.

"We switched to the Olympia U079 plates six months ago and  the difference is night and  day. They look fantastic, they handle the pressure of a fully-booked weekend, and  our replacement costs have plummeted. We can focus on the food, not on damaged plates."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The restaurant reported a 90% reduction in crockery breakages and  chips within the first three months of use, improving operational efficiency and  budget control.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing and  packing.
  • Ensure you have adequate, sturdy shelving for storage that can handle the combined weight of the plates.

Keeping It Going

  • Stack plates carefully, avoiding unnecessarily high towers which can become unstable.
  • When using in the dishwasher, ensure plates are not knocking against each other to prevent surface scratches.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh metal cutlery for scraping, as this can damage the glaze over time.
  • Although thermal shock resistant, it's good practice to avoid extreme temperature changes, like moving directly from a freezer to a hot oven.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure which plates are the perfect fit for your business? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Material Matters

Porcelain is a classic for a reason: it's durable, non-porous, and  has a high-end feel. For busy environments, always look for 'fully vitrified' as it offers superior strength and  chip resistance.

Shape & Style

Coupe plates (like these) offer a modern, rimless canvas perfect for creative plating. Rimmed plates provide a more traditional frame and  can help contain sauces.

Durability is Key

Look for features like a rolled edge and  an 'edge-chip warranty'. These are clear indicators that the product is built for the demands of a commercial kitchen.

Check for Practicality

Ensure your chosen crockery is dishwasher, microwave, and  oven safe. Stackability is another non-negotiable feature for saving precious kitchen space.

Consider Your Menu

The size and  shape of your plate should complement your dishes. A 250mm (10") plate is a great all-rounder for main courses, but you may need smaller or larger options too.

Consistency and  Stock

Choose a popular, well-regarded range like Olympia. This makes it much easier to order replacements or expand your collection in the future, ensuring a consistent look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these plates resistant to cutlery scratches?

A: Yes, the high-quality glazed finish on these Olympia white restaurant plates is designed to be highly resistant to marks and  scratches from everyday cutlery use.

Q: What does BS4034 compliant mean?

A: This is a British Standard that specifies requirements for vitrified hotelware, ensuring it has low water absorption and  is durable enough for professional catering use.

Q: How high can you safely stack these plates?

A: While very stable, we recommend stacking them in manageable columns of 12-15 plates to ensure stability and  prevent accidents in a busy environment.

Q: Can these go straight from a hot-hold unit into the dishwasher?

A: Yes, as fully vitrified porcelain, they are designed to withstand the rapid temperature changes common in a commercial kitchen environment.

Q: Is the white colour a pure, bright white?

A: Yes, these plates feature a classic, clean white finish that provides a neutral and  appealing backdrop for any type of cuisine.

Q: What is the best way to remove stubborn food stains like curry or tomato sauce?

A: The non-porous glaze prevents most staining. For any tough residue, a soak in warm, soapy water or a cycle in a commercial dishwasher is usually sufficient.

Q: Is there any branding or logo on the top surface of the plate?

A: No, the top surface is completely clear, providing an uninterrupted canvas for your food presentation. The brand mark is on the underside.

Q: Are all the plates in a box identical in size and  shape?

A: Yes, they are manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure uniformity, which is essential for consistent plating and  stable stacking.

What 'Fully Vitrified' Really Means for Your Kitchen

Ever wondered what 'fully vitrified' actually means? It’s not just fancy marketing talk. Think of it like turning clay into a type of glass. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature (over 1200°C) until the clay particles fuse together, closing all the tiny pores. This process makes the plate incredibly dense and  non-porous. So, unlike regular ceramic which can absorb water and  crack with temperature changes, vitrified porcelain is exceptionally strong, resistant to moisture, and  far less likely to chip or break. It’s the secret behind its superb durability in a commercial setting.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bistros & Gastropubs: For serving hearty main courses with a clean, modern look that lets the food shine.
  • Hotels & Event Venues: A durable and  elegant choice for banquets, weddings, and  in-room dining services.
  • Independent Cafés: Perfect for plating up signature brunch dishes or hearty lunch specials with a professional touch.
  • Contract Caterers: A reliable, stackable, and  hardwearing option that withstands transport for off-site events.
