Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Café in York was struggling with a constant cycle of replacing their flimsy plastic trays, which were cracking and looking worn after just a few months. They needed a more robust and professional solution for their busy lunchtime service.
"We were buying new trays every quarter; it was a false economy. Since switching to this commercial serving tray Cambro model, we haven't had a single breakage in over a year. They still look fantastic and have genuinely made our service smoother and more professional."
David Chen – Manager
The switch resulted in a 75% reduction in their annual tray replacement budget and improved staff morale due to the lightweight, reliable equipment.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, simply unstack and give each tray a quick inspection.
- Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use in your kitchen.
- There's no assembly required – they are ready for service straight out of the box.
Keeping It Going
- Clean after each use with a soft cloth or sponge to maintain the smooth surface.
- Trays are commercial dishwasher safe; for best results, avoid excessively high-heat drying cycles.
- Avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
- Stack them neatly when dry to keep your storage areas tidy and prevent damage.

The Cambro Commitment: More Than Just a Tray
For decades, Cambro has been a cornerstone of professional foodservice operations, and for good reason. Choosing a Cambro product isn't just about buying a piece of equipment; it's an investment in operational smoothness and long-term value. This Cambro Capri black serving tray embodies that philosophy. It’s engineered to withstand the relentless cycle of service, washing, and stacking without failing. This means fewer re-orders, a consistently professional appearance for your customers, and staff who can rely on their tools. In a busy environment where a dropped or chipped tray can disrupt service and reflect poorly on your brand, the inherent shock resistance and durability provide peace of mind and protect your bottom line. It's the kind of background reliability that allows you to focus on what truly matters: your food and your customers.
Explore more from CambroWhy High 'Shock Resistance' Actually Saves You Money
When a spec sheet mentions 'shock resistance', it’s easy to gloss over. But what does it really mean for your business? Think of it like this: a standard, brittle plastic tray is like a thin sheet of ice – one sharp knock and it cracks, rendering it useless. This Cambro tray is more like the laminated glass in a car windscreen; it's made from a high-impact composite material designed to absorb and distribute the force of an impact.
So, when a busy staff member inevitably clips a doorframe or accidentally drops a tray, it’s far more likely to absorb the blow without cracking or chipping. This single feature directly translates into long-term savings because you're not constantly spending money and time ordering replacements. It ensures a safer, more reliable service and a much lower total cost of ownership over the product's life.
