Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View restaurant in Padstow, Cornwall was looking to refresh its tableware. Their existing crockery was showing its age with frequent chips and  cracks, which didn't reflect the high quality of their seafood dishes.

"We were replacing bowls constantly; it was a frustrating and  hidden cost. We switched to the Olympia U162 soup bowls because of the edge-chip warranty. The difference has been remarkable. They still look brand new after months of heavy service, and  our food looks fantastic on the clean, white porcelain."

Robert Finch – Head Chef

By switching, The Harbour View has virtually eliminated crockery replacement costs and  improved table presentation, receiving numerous compliments from diners.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unbox and  inspect each bowl for any transit damage.
  • Give them a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before first use to remove any dust.
  • Ensure you have adequate, stable shelving for storage.

Keeping It Going

  • Always stack carefully, avoiding knocking the edges against other items.
  • These bowls are dishwasher safe, but avoid overcrowding the racks to ensure a perfect clean.
  • While heat resistant, avoid extreme thermal shock, such as moving a bowl directly from a freezer to a hot oven.
  • To claim on the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty, simply contact us with details of the chipped item.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Restaurant Crockery

Not sure what to look for when choosing new tableware? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

Porcelain is a classic choice for its strength and  brightness. Fully vitrified porcelain, like this, offers the best durability for professional use, resisting stains and  chips.

Durability is Key

Look for features like rolled edges and, ideally, a chip warranty. This is a sign the manufacturer stands behind their product's ability to withstand a busy environment.

Match Your Aesthetic

While white is versatile and  makes food pop, consider how the shape and  style of the bowl fit with your restaurant's brand and  the type of food you serve.

Think Practically

Is it stackable? Is it safe for the dishwasher, microwave, and  oven? These practical features will make your kitchen team's life much, much easier day-to-day.

Size and  Capacity

Ensure the bowl size is right for your portions. These 90mm porcelain soup bowls are perfect for starters, sides, or desserts, but you may need larger sizes for main courses.

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

Ever wondered what 'vitrified' means? Think of standard ceramic like a sponge – it has tiny pores that can absorb water, grease, and  odours over time. This is what leads to stains, weakness, and  chipping. 'Vitrification' is a process where the porcelain is fired at an incredibly high temperature until it becomes glass-like and  non-porous. It’s like turning that sponge into a solid, waterproof pebble. This means these restaurant porcelain soup bowls won't absorb anything, making them far more hygienic, resistant to chips, and  safe from damage caused by sudden temperature changes. It's the secret behind their superior strength and  longevity.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: These elegant sloping edge whiteware bowls are perfect for presenting amuse-bouches, appetisers, or palate cleansers beautifully.
  • Bustling Cafés & Bistros: Ideal for serving side portions of soup or stylish desserts while standing up to constant, heavy use.
  • Boutique Hotels: Great for in-room dining services or for adding a touch of class to the breakfast buffet spread.
  • Event Caterers: A reliable and  sophisticated option for weddings and  corporate events, where consistency and  durability are essential.
