Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Best Feature: The vitrified body and  edge-chip warranty offer unbeatable long-term value for businesses.
  • Consideration: Its 120mm size is perfect for sides/starters, but not for large main courses.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle in York was struggling with its existing crockery, which was chipping constantly during busy lunch services, making the tableware look tired. They needed a durable and  stylish replacement that wouldn't break the bank.

"We switched to the Olympia U163 bowls six months ago and  the difference is night and  day. The presentation of our soups and  starters has improved, and  we haven't had to throw a single one away due to chipping. They still look brand new after hundreds of dishwasher cycles."

Samuel Jones – Head Chef

The investment led to a near-total elimination of crockery replacement costs in the first six months, saving the business time and  money.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the bowls a cycle through your commercial dishwasher to ensure they are pristine.
  • Inspect each bowl upon unboxing to check for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Utilise the stackable design to store them efficiently on your shelves, maximising your space.

Keeping It Going

  • These bowls are fully dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and  simple.
  • To maintain the smooth glazed finish, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemicals.
  • Stack them carefully after cleaning to prevent accidental knocks and  preserve their lifespan.
  • Remember, your purchase is covered by the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty for added security.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Restaurant Tableware

Not sure what crockery is right for your bustling establishment? Here’s a quick guide to help you choose wisely.

Consider Your Menu

The food you serve should dictate your choice. A 120mm sloping edge cereal bowl is perfect for starters and  desserts, but you'll need larger plates for mains.

Prioritise Durability

In a commercial setting, durability is king. Look for fully vitrified porcelain and  features like an edge-chip warranty to ensure a long service life.

Check Stackability & Storage

Space is always at a premium. Ensure your chosen tableware, like this Olympia U163 restaurant tableware, stacks neatly and  fits your shelves and  dishwasher racks.

Match Your Brand's Aesthetic

Your crockery is part of your brand. Classic whiteware is incredibly versatile and  allows your food to be the star of the show.

Demand Versatility

The most valuable tableware can go anywhere. Being oven, freezer, and  microwave safe adds huge operational flexibility.

What Does 'Fully Vitrified' Mean for Your Kitchen?

Ever wondered what makes some crockery so much tougher than others? The secret is often 'vitrification'. When porcelain is 'fully vitrified', it has been fired at an extremely high temperature, causing the clay particles to fuse together and  become completely non-porous. Think of it like the difference between a terracotta plant pot and  a glazed mug. The pot absorbs water, while the mug doesn't let a drop through. This process makes the Olympia U163 sloping edge bowl incredibly strong, water-resistant, and  far less likely to stain or harbour bacteria, which is essential for meeting food safety standards.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bistros and  Restaurants

    Perfect for serving stylish starters, creative sides, or elegant desserts that need a modern presentation.

  • Modern Cafés

    An ideal choice for a premium porridge, soup of the day, or a generous portion of granola.

  • Boutique Hotels

    Excellent for appetisers in the hotel bar, breakfast buffets, or part of an in-room dining set.

  • Event Caterers

    A durable, stackable, and  brilliantly versatile white porcelain serving bowl Olympia makes a reliable choice for any event.
