Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Tree Bistro in Bath was looking to replace its collection of mismatched and  worn-out cutlery. They needed something that looked elegant for their evening service but was tough enough for busy lunchtimes, without stretching their budget.

"We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Olympia spoons. They have a lovely weight and  shine, and  our customers have even commented on them. They just elevate the whole dining experience in a small but significant way."

Samuel Jones – Proprietor

After six months, the bistro noted a significant reduction in cutlery replacement costs, largely thanks to the magnetic feature preventing accidental loss.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Wash thoroughly in warm, soapy water before the first use to remove any residue from the manufacturing process.
  • Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and  maintain the high-polish finish.
  • Inspect each spoon upon arrival to ensure they are all in perfect condition.

Keeping It Going

  • To maintain the shine, hand-polish with a microfibre cloth after washing and  drying.
  • While dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive detergents or scouring pads which can scratch the surface.
  • Use with a magnetic cutlery saver on your bins to drastically reduce accidental loss.
  • Store in a cutlery tray or divider to prevent scratching between services.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Cutlery

Not sure which cutlery range is right for your tables? Here are a few things to keep in mind to make the perfect choice for your business.

Material Matters

18/0 stainless steel (like this one) is durable and  magnetic, great for cutlery-saving systems. 18/10 has added nickel for extra rust resistance and  a premium feel, but isn't magnetic.

Weight and  Balance

The 'heft' of cutlery contributes to the perceived quality. A well-balanced piece feels better in the hand. This range offers a good middle-ground for everyday quality.

Finish and  Style

A high-polish finish offers a classic, sparkling look that's perfect for most dining settings. A satin or matte finish can hide fingerprints but offers a more contemporary, muted look.

Designed for Durability

Look for cutlery described as 'commercial grade'. This means it's designed to withstand repeated washing at high temperatures and  resist bending or denting from daily use.

Buy in Bulk

Purchasing cutlery in boxes of 12 or more ensures a consistent look across your tables and  is almost always more cost-effective than buying individual pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these spoons fully dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, they are designed for commercial dishwashers. For best results and  to maintain the high-polish finish, we recommend using a rinse aid and  drying them promptly.

Q: What exactly is 18/0 stainless steel?

A: The '18/0' refers to the composition: 18% chromium for rust resistance and  0% nickel. This composition makes the steel magnetic, a key feature for cutlery-saving systems.

Q: Is the price for a single spoon or the whole box?

A: This product, SKU U880, is sold in a box containing 12 stainless steel table spoons.

Q: How would you describe the weight? Are they flimsy?

A: They have a reassuring weight without being heavy or clunky. They are solid and  designed to resist bending during normal use in a busy restaurant.

Q: What's the benefit of the teardrop handle?

A: The teardrop shape is a classic ergonomic design that is comfortable to hold and  provides good balance, making it a popular choice for dining.

Q: Can these be used for soups as well as desserts?

A: While designed as a dessert spoon, its size and  shape make it versatile enough for use as a soup spoon or a general-purpose table spoon in many settings.

Q: Does the high-polish finish scratch easily?

A: Like any polished surface, it can show fine scratches over time with heavy use. To minimise this, avoid abrasive cleaners and  store them correctly.

Q: Why is a magnetic spoon a good thing?

A: It allows the spoon to be caught by a magnetic cutlery-saving lid on a waste bin, preventing it from being accidentally thrown away and  saving you money on replacements.

What Customers Are Saying

David Chen – The Corner Table, Manchester

"Great value for a box of 12. The magnetic feature is the main reason we bought them and  it's already saved us money. Solid commercial cutlery dessert spoon."

Maria Evans – Events Coordinator, Cardiff

How Magnetic Cutlery Can Save Your Business Money

Ever wondered how many spoons, forks, and  knives accidentally end up in the bin? The 'magnetic' feature of this 18/0 stainless steel dessert spoon is designed to stop that. Unlike 18/10 stainless steel, 18/0 grade contains no nickel, which makes it 'ferritic' – a fancy word for magnetic. Think of it like a built-in homing beacon on every spoon. When staff scrape plates into a bin fitted with a magnetic cutlery retriever lid (a common sight in professional kitchens), the spoon sticks to the magnet instead of being lost with the food waste. It's a simple bit of science that directly translates into lower replacement costs and  less waste for your business.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés & Tea Rooms: An ideal, hard-wearing catering dessert spoon for serving cakes, scones, and  daily specials with a touch of class.
  • Restaurants & Hotels: A cost-effective way to ensure your table settings are smart, uniform, and  always guest-ready.
  • Event & Mobile Caterers: Durable, easy to clean, and  compatible with magnetic cutlery savers, minimising loss on the go.
  • Dessert Parlours & Gelaterias: The perfect shape and  size for customers to enjoy everything from sundaes to sorbets.
