Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill Bistro in Stow-on-the-Wold was looking to refresh its tableware to match a recent refurbishment. Their old, generic white plates felt dated and didn't complement their new, rustic-chic interior and locally sourced menu.
"These plates were exactly what we were looking for. The green is so rich and the quality is fantastic. Our food photography for social media has never looked better, the colours just leap off the plate!"
Ben Carter – Head Chef
Since introducing the plates, the bistro has noted a 25% increase in customer food photos being tagged and shared on Instagram, significantly boosting their online visibility.
What Makes a Hand-Sponged Rim So Special?
You'll see 'hand-sponged rim' mentioned, but what does it actually mean for your business? It's a finishing technique where the coloured edge is applied by hand with a sponge, rather than by a uniform machine spray. This means every single Dudson Harvest FC046 plate has subtle variations in its pattern and intensity. Think of it like an artist's signature – it's a small mark of authenticity and craft. While a machine-made plate is a perfect copy, a hand-finished one is a unique print. This detail tells your customers that you care about every aspect of their dining experience, right down to the crockery itself.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any transit damage.
- Give all plates a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use.
- Designate a specific, safe shelf space for them, avoiding high-traffic areas to prevent knocks.
Keeping It Going
- When loading into a dishwasher, ensure plates aren't knocking against each other to prevent chipping.
- To keep the matte finish looking its best, a quick wipe with a dry, soft cloth after washing will remove any water spots.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes, like moving a plate from a hot pass directly to a cold surface.
- Stack carefully with felt liners between plates if storing for long periods to protect the surface.
