Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Bistro in Chester was looking to refresh its table presentation. Their old, mismatched crockery was frequently chipping and detracted from the high-quality food they were serving. They needed a unified, durable, and stylish solution ahead of their new seasonal menu launch.
"We needed something smart but tough. These Olympia U153 plates look fantastic and stand up to our busy services without a single chip. The square shape feels modern and our desserts really pop against the white porcelain. They have truly elevated our presentation."
David Chen – Head Chef
After the switch, the bistro noted a significant improvement in customer feedback, with a 15% increase in positive online reviews specifically mentioning the beautiful food presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust or residue.
- Seasoned staff should be briefed on the new tableware to ensure they handle it with care from day one.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent scratching, avoid scraping plates with metal utensils. Use a rubber spatula to clear food.
- When stacking your Olympia white square plates, avoid creating towers that are too high, as this can put pressure on the plates at the bottom.
- Load into the dishwasher carefully, ensuring plates don't knock against each other during the wash cycle.
- To remove stubborn cutlery marks, use a gentle, non-abrasive porcelain-safe cleaning solution.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Means for Your Kitchen
You'll see 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what does it really mean? In simple terms, it's a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature. This fuses the clay particles together, making the final plate incredibly dense and non-porous. Think of it like the difference between a sponge and a piece of glass. A sponge soaks up water, but glass won't. Because vitrified porcelain is non-porous, it doesn't absorb water, food particles, or bacteria. This makes it far more hygienic, much stronger, and resistant to the 'thermal shock' of going from a hot dishwasher to a cool shelf. This is why it can meet the tough BS4034 hotelware standard – it's certified for professional abuse!
