Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand View Hotel in Windermere, Lake District, wanted to refresh its traditional afternoon tea service to attract more non-resident bookings. Their existing flat platters felt dated and didn't showcase the pastry chef's creations effectively.
"We bought a dozen of these APS risers to create a tiered, modern presentation. The difference was instant. The sleek black stands make the colourful cakes and sandwiches look like works of art. Our guests constantly photograph the setup, which is fantastic free marketing for us."
Robert Davies – F&B Manager
The hotel reported a 35% increase in afternoon tea bookings within three months of revamping their display.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack carefully and check for any damage from shipping.
- Before first use, wipe the entire riser with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent.
- Place on a completely flat and stable surface to ensure maximum stability.
- Position your chosen platter or dish centrally on the riser for balanced presentation.
Keeping It Going
- Clean after each use with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or scourers which could scratch the black coating.
- For stubborn food residue, use warm, soapy water but dry it immediately and thoroughly.
- Do not place in a commercial dishwasher, as harsh chemicals can damage the finish.
- Store them stacked with a soft cloth or liner in between each one to prevent scuffs and scratches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can these risers be stacked on top of each other for extra height?
A: It is not recommended to stack these risers directly on top of one another as they are not designed to nest securely. It's safer to use them individually on a flat surface.
Q: Is the black coating resistant to scratches?
A: The coating is hardwearing for commercial use, but sharp objects like knives or abrasive cleaning pads can cause scratches. We recommend handling and cleaning with care.
Q: Can I place hot items directly onto the riser?
A: The metal construction can handle warmth, but it's best practice to place hot serving dishes on a protective trivet or plate, rather than directly on the coated surface, to preserve the finish.
Q: How do you clean the anti-slip surface effectively?
A: A simple wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent is all that's needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which can damage the coating.
Q: What is the maximum weight this riser can hold?
A: While there isn't a specified maximum load, it's designed to comfortably hold standard, fully-laden ceramic or glass plates and bowls. Its stability is excellent for typical buffet items.
Q: Can I use this riser for outdoor catering events?
A: Yes, it can be used outdoors. However, to maintain its condition, it should not be left exposed to the elements for extended periods and should be stored indoors.
Q: Does the 180mm measurement refer to the internal or external diameter?
A: The 180mm (Ø) refers to the total external diameter of the top surface of the stand.
Q: Does APS offer this riser in other sizes or colours?
A: APS produces a wide range of buffet presentation items. This specific FB887 model is the 180mm black version, but other sizes and styles may be available across the wider APS collection.

Explore more from APSWhy the Anti-Slip Finish is a Buffet's Best Friend
You see 'anti-slip finish' in the description and might think it's just a bit of rough paint. But it's much cleverer than that. This feature is a specialised coating applied to the metal that creates a high-friction surface, even when dry and clean. It’s not sticky or tacky to the touch; instead, it provides a microscopic 'grip' on the bottom of your plates, bowls, and platters.
Think of it like the difference between a standard plastic phone case and one with a soft-touch, matte finish. The matte one just feels more secure in your hand and is less likely to slide off a table. That's exactly what this coating does for your expensive crockery. It significantly reduces the risk of a server accidentally knocking a plate, or a customer causing a small slide that ends in a big mess. It's a simple, invisible feature that provides priceless security during a busy service.
Who Should Buy This?
