Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Bridge End Bistro in Inverness was facing a constant battle with cutlery attrition, with teaspoons being the number one casualty during post-service clear-downs.

"It felt like we were buying new teaspoons every other month. We needed a solution that was not only durable and  affordable but could help us stop them ending up in the bin. The Olympia U882 teaspoons were the answer."

Robert Grant – General Manager

After implementing these magnetic teaspoons with a cutlery catching system, the bistro reduced its annual cutlery replacement budget by over 50%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before the first use, give the teaspoons a good wash in warm, soapy water.
  • Rinse them well and  dry immediately to avoid water spots and  maintain the shine.
  • If you're using a cutlery saving system, make sure the magnet is securely fitted over your main waste bin.

Keeping It Going

  • These teaspoons are fully commercial dishwasher safe.
  • To prevent staining, try to rinse or wash them soon after use, especially with acidic foods.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the polished surface.
  • Always dry promptly and  thoroughly after washing to keep them looking their best.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Cutlery

Need a hand picking the perfect cutlery? Here are a few things to consider to ensure you get the best fit for your business.

Material Matters: 18/0 vs 18/10

18/0 steel, like this stainless steel teaspoon 18/0, is tough and  magnetic, making it ideal for high-volume sites. 18/10 steel adds nickel for extra rust resistance and  shine, often seen in fine dining.

Weight & Feel

Consider the 'heft'. A heavier piece of cutlery can feel more luxurious to a customer, while lighter items are often more practical for staff to handle and  polish in large quantities.

Finish & Design

The style of your cutlery says a lot. A classic high-polish finish is timeless, but you could also consider modern matte, stonewashed, or decorative designs to match your brand's aesthetic.

Commercial Grade is Key

Always opt for commercially-rated cutlery. It’s specifically designed to endure the intense heat and  chemicals of industrial dishwashers and  the wear and  tear of daily service.

The Magnetic Lifesaver

If you're constantly replacing lost cutlery, switching to a magnetic 18/0 set is a game-changer. Paired with a simple bin magnet, it's the easiest way to cut down on waste.

Why Being Magnetic Matters So Much

You’ve seen '18/0 Stainless Steel' and  that it's magnetic, but what does that actually mean for your business? In short, it’s a simple feature that saves you money. Stainless steel numbers refer to their makeup – in this case, 18% chromium and  0% nickel. It’s the absence of nickel that makes the steel magnetic.

Think of it like this: your staff are clearing tables at speed, and  plates, napkins, and  cutlery all get scraped into the same bin. Without a safeguard, dozens of teaspoons can be lost every week. A magnetic teaspoon, however, will stick to a cutlery saver magnet placed over the bin opening. It’s a brilliantly simple system that catches your cutlery before it’s lost forever, directly reducing the amount you have to spend on replacements.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Local Cafés & Coffee Shops: An essential for serving alongside everything from a flat white to a slice of cake.
  • School & Workplace Canteens: A durable, cost-effective, and  loss-reducing solution for high-volume, fast-paced dining environments.
  • Hotels & Guest Houses: Perfect for breakfast buffets, in-room service trays, and  informal afternoon tea settings.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: A reliable restaurant stainless steel teaspoon that stands up to constant commercial washing and  daily use.
