Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Rectory B&B in Bakewell, Peak District, needed to replace its collection of mismatched and  chipped breakfast crockery to create a more premium guest experience. They chose the Olympia U814 breakfast holder for its reputation for durability and  its classic, clean appearance.

"We were constantly replacing our old egg cups. Since we switched to these, we haven't had a single chip. They go through the dishwasher twice a day and  still look brand new. It’s a small change that has made our breakfast tables look so much smarter."

Robert Davies – Proprietor

The switch resulted in a more cohesive and  professional breakfast service, completely eliminating replacement costs for this item over the first six months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack the box and  inspect each egg cup for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give them a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water before their first use.
  • Ensure they are completely dry before stacking to prevent moisture from being trapped between items.

Keeping It Going

  • These egg cups are fully dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and  efficient.
  • To prevent chipping, avoid knocking them against other crockery or metal surfaces when loading and  unloading.
  • Stack them carefully in storage, ensuring piles are not too high to become unstable.
  • Avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemicals, which can damage the glaze over time.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tableware

Not sure which crockery is right for your tables? Getting the basics right is key to a smooth service. Here are a few tips to help you choose.

Material Matters

Porcelain is fired at high temperatures, making it durable and  non-porous, ideal for commercial use. Cheaper earthenware can be more prone to chipping and  staining.

Look for Durability Features

Features like 'rolled edges' and  'vitrified' bodies aren't just jargon. They signify a product built to withstand repeated use, washing, and  stacking without chipping.

Match Your Brand's Style

A classic white porcelain egg cup is incredibly versatile, but consider if your brand calls for something more rustic or colourful. Consistency across your tableware creates a professional look.

Think About Storage

Is the item stackable? In kitchens where space is at a premium, choosing crockery that stacks neatly and  safely is a massive space-saver.

Check Cleaning Requirements

Always opt for dishwasher-safe items to save precious time and  labour. Microwave-safe options also add a layer of valuable versatility to your kitchen.

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

You see 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what is it? Think of it like giving the porcelain a suit of armour. During manufacturing, the egg cup is fired at an extremely high temperature until the clay body becomes glass-like and  non-porous. This means there are virtually no tiny holes for water, grease, or bacteria to seep into.

Why does that matter? It makes the Olympia U814 egg cup far more durable, resistant to chipping, and  much more hygienic than standard domestic ceramics. It won't absorb moisture or odours, so it stays pristine white and  is less likely to crack when moving between hot and  cold temperatures, like from a dishwasher to a shelf. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference to the lifespan and  safety of your tableware.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Hotels & Guesthouses: Perfect for upgrading your breakfast buffet or room service trays with a professional, uniform look.
  • Cafés & Bistros: An essential for any establishment serving a classic boiled egg and  soldiers on their breakfast menu.
  • Bed & Breakfasts: Elevate your homely breakfast experience with durable, classic tableware that’s easy to clean and  store.
  • Care Homes & Canteens: A cost-effective and  highly durable commercial egg cup white solution for large-scale catering operations.
