Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A busy events arena in Birmingham was struggling with their existing food court trays, which were cracking and staining after only a few months of heavy use. They needed a more resilient and professional-looking restaurant serving tray for their high-traffic fast-food outlets.
"We were replacing trays constantly. Since switching to the Kristallon P508, they’ve handled thousands of customers without a single one breaking. They still look brand new after a run through the dishwasher, which has made a massive difference to our team's efficiency."
Robert Davies – Operations Manager
The switch resulted in a significant drop in replacement costs and sped up table clearing times by 15% during peak event periods.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, give the trays a quick check over to ensure they haven't been damaged in transit.
- It’s always best practice to wash any new food-contact item before its first use.
- Simply unstack and they are immediately ready for service – no assembly required!
Keeping It Going
- These trays are designed for commercial dishwashers, making cleaning a doddle.
- To prevent moisture build-up, ensure trays are completely dry before stacking them for storage.
- Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads, which can scratch the surface over time.
- Periodically check for any deep scratches or cracks as part of your regular equipment maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these trays flexible or rigid?
A: They are made from a sturdy grade of polypropylene designed to be rigid and resist flexing, even when carrying a full, heavy meal.
Q: What is the surface texture like?
A: The surface has a subtle, basket-weave texture that provides grip to help stop crockery and glasses from sliding during transport.
Q: Can I use these trays with hot plates?
A: Polypropylene is heat resistant for typical plate temperatures, but we advise against placing items directly from an oven or grill onto the tray.
Q: Are they easy to stack and unstack?
A: Yes, they are designed with stacking lugs that allow for neat, stable stacking and prevent them from creating a vacuum and sticking together.
Q: Is the Kristallon P508 tray heavy?
A: No, at just 0.53kg, it's lightweight enough for anyone to handle comfortably while remaining strong and durable.
Q: Will the grey colour fade in the dishwasher?
A: No, the colour is integral to the polypropylene material, making it resistant to fading from commercial dishwasher cycles.
Q: How do I clean tough stains like curry or tomato sauce?
A: The non-porous material resists staining. For any residue, a normal dishwasher cycle or a simple wipe with a standard food-safe cleaner is all that's needed.
Q: Are they suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, their durable construction makes them perfectly suitable for use in beer gardens, patios, and other outdoor seating areas.

Explore more from KristallonWhy a Non-Porous Surface is Your Secret Weapon in Hygiene
Ever wondered what 'non-porous' actually means for your kitchen? Think of it like this: a porous surface, like unsealed wood or cheap plastic, is full of microscopic holes. When you spill something, that liquid, along with germs and odours, seeps into those holes and is difficult to completely clean out. This is why old trays can get stained and hold onto smells.
The polypropylene used for this cafeteria serving tray large is non-porous, meaning the surface is completely sealed. It's like a sheet of glass. Spills, sauces, and bacteria simply sit on top, unable to penetrate. This means a quick wipe or a cycle in the dishwasher removes everything, leaving the surface perfectly clean and hygienic every time. It’s a simple feature that makes a huge difference to food safety and cleanliness.
