Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Perk, a popular seaside café in Whitby, decided to overhaul its mismatched and  frequently chipped tableware. They needed something that could handle a relentless stream of customers, especially during the tourist season, and  reflect their bright, cheerful interior.

"We were replacing plates and  saucers constantly. Since switching to the Steelite Rio range, our breakage costs have plummeted. The yellow is so vibrant and  our customers often comment on how lovely they are. They just feel solid and  well-made."

Eleanor Vance – Owner, The Corner Perk

The café reported a 75% reduction in crockery replacement costs within the first six months and  a noticeable increase in positive customer feedback regarding their presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always wash thoroughly before first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or storage.
  • Check each saucer on arrival to ensure there's no damage from transit.
  • Designate a specific, easy-to-reach shelf for storage to minimise handling mishaps.

Keeping It Going

  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh metal scrapers which can damage the glaze over time.
  • Stack carefully, ensuring saucers are aligned to prevent chipping the edges.
  • Although tough, avoid dropping them from a height onto hard surfaces.
  • Use a reputable commercial dishwasher detergent for the best, streak-free results.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tableware

Feeling a bit stuck on which crockery is right for you? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material is Everything

Look for vitrified ceramic or porcelain for commercial use. They are fired at high temperatures, making them non-porous, stronger, and  more hygienic than standard earthenware.

Match Your Vibe

Your tableware is part of your brand. Choose a colour and  style that complements your decor, menu, and  the overall atmosphere you want to create.

Check for Durability Features

Terms like 'rolled edge', 'chip resistant', or 'alumina' indicate a product designed to withstand knocks and  bumps. A good glaze is also key to preventing scratches.

Think About Storage

Does it stack neatly and  securely? A well-designed, stackable range can save you valuable shelf space and  reduce the risk of accidents.

Versatility Saves Time

Can it go in the dishwasher, microwave, and  freezer? A versatile set streamlines your kitchen operations, allowing for quick cleaning, reheating, and  prep.

What is Alumina Vitrified Ceramic, and  Why Does It Matter?

Ever wondered what makes some crockery so much tougher than others? In this case, the secret ingredient is 'Alumina Vitrified Ceramic'. Let's break that down. 'Vitrified' means the clay has been fired at an extremely high temperature, making it non-porous (so it won't absorb water or stains) and  incredibly hard. The 'Alumina' part is the real magic. Alumina is a super-strong oxide, the same stuff found in sapphires and  rubies. Think of it like adding steel rebar to concrete; a small amount of alumina is mixed into the clay, reinforcing it from the inside out. This results in a saucer that's far more resistant to chipping and  breaking than standard ceramic, which is exactly what you need when they're being used, stacked, and  washed hundreds of times a week.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Coffee Shops: Add a pop of colour to your service that matches your unique, modern brand identity.
  • Hotels and  B&Bs: Ideal for high-volume breakfast services, offering durability that withstands constant use and  washing.
  • Garden Centre Cafés: The cheerful yellow colour complements a bright, natural setting and  creates a welcoming atmosphere.
  • Office Canteens: A cost-effective and  robust solution for kitting out a busy staff kitchen with reliable tableware.
