Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

A large further education college in Bristol was struggling with slow table turnaround in its main canteen, leading to queues and  frustrated students. They replaced their smaller, older trolleys with two Bourgeat CC380 units to handle the volume and  encourage self-clearing.

"The new trolleys have been brilliant. Students actually use them, which means our staff can focus on service and  cleaning stations. The dining hall looks ten times better during peak periods, and  the whole atmosphere is less chaotic."

Robert Davies – Head of Catering Services

The college reported a 45% reduction in the time staff spent clearing tables, allowing for a much smoother and  faster lunch service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, check that all four castors are securely fastened and  rotate freely.
  • Give the stainless steel surfaces a quick wipe-down with a food-safe sanitiser before first use.
  • Position the trolley in a high-visibility location near the dining room exit to encourage use.
  • Ensure it's placed on a flat, level floor for maximum stability, especially when loaded.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down all shelves and  the frame daily with a damp cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Regularly check the castor wheels for any trapped debris and  ensure the bolts remain tight.
  • To maintain the shine on the stainless steel, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners.
  • Perform a monthly check to ensure the frame structure is still solid and  no parts have become loose.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Catering Trolley

Not sure which trolley is right for your space? Here are a few things to consider.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Think about how many covers you serve. A high-capacity trolley like this one is great for volume, but make sure its dimensions (620 x 840mm) fit your floor plan without blocking fire exits or main walkways.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it’s hygienic, durable, and  resistant to rust and  corrosion. For a long-term investment, it's the only material to consider.

Manoeuvrability

Look for smooth, 360-degree swivel castors. They make navigating a crowded room much easier, reducing the risk of collisions and  spills. Check if lockable brakes are a priority for you.

Shelf Design

A 3 tier clearing trolley offers excellent organisation. The defined gaps between shelves on this model prevent trays from sliding into each other and  make unloading simpler.

Purpose-Built Features

Is your goal just to help staff, or to encourage self-clearing? A model designed as a collection point, like the CC380, serves a different function to a simple transport trolley.
