Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Esplanade Hotel in Brighton needed to improve its workflow for clearing its 150-seat function room after weddings. Their existing system of using trays was slow and required multiple staff members, causing delays in room turnaround.
"The Matfer Bourgeat trolley has completely streamlined our clear-down process. What used to take three people 25 minutes now takes two people just 15. The team can clear the entire room in fewer trips, it's safer, and it looks far more professional."
Robert Davies – Food & Beverage Manager
The hotel successfully reduced its room turnaround time by over 30%, allowing for more flexible event scheduling and reducing staff pressure during busy periods.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, check all parts are present against the instruction sheet.
- Attach the four castors securely to the base of the frame, ensuring they are tightened correctly.
- Position the cutlery holder in its designated slot.
- Before its first use, give the entire unit a quick wipe-down with a food-safe sanitiser.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the trolley daily with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and spills.
- For a streak-free finish, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner and a microfibre cloth once a week.
- Periodically check that the castor bolts remain tight for safety and stability.
- Avoid overloading the trolley beyond its 200-plate capacity to prevent strain on the frame and wheels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Matfer Bourgeat HP711 trolley arrive fully assembled?
A: Most trolleys of this type require minimal self-assembly, usually just attaching the wheels to the main frame. Full instructions are always included.
Q: What is the best way to clean the stainless steel?
A: Daily cleaning can be done with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. For a polished, streak-free shine, we recommend using a specialised stainless steel cleaner.
Q: Can the cutlery holder be removed?
A: Yes, the cutlery holder is a separate component that can be easily lifted off for cleaning or if you only need to transport plates.
Q: Are the wheels suitable for carpeted areas?
A: These castors are designed for smooth, hard commercial floors like tile, vinyl, or wood. They will run on short-pile commercial carpet but may be harder to push.
Q: How stable is the trolley when fully loaded?
A: It's designed for stability. As long as plates are stacked evenly and you don't exceed the 200-plate capacity, it is very stable and safe to manoeuvre.
Q: Can I stack different sizes of plates?
A: Yes, you can. However, for maximum capacity and the most stable load, stacking plates of a uniform size is recommended.
Q: Is this trolley noisy to move around?
A: No, the high-quality castors are designed for smooth and quiet operation to avoid disturbing guests in the dining area.
Q: Can it be stored outside?
A: While stainless steel is weather-resistant, we strongly recommend storing the trolley indoors to protect the castors and maintain its condition long-term.

You see 'stainless steel' everywhere, but what does it actually mean for your business? Think of it like a superhero's suit for your equipment. Its biggest superpower is being non-porous. This means that unlike plastic or wood, there are no tiny microscopic holes for bacteria or germs to hide in. A quick wipe with a sanitiser and it's genuinely, hygienically clean, which is crucial for EHO inspections.
Beyond hygiene, it’s about toughness. This material resists rust, corrosion from cleaning chemicals, and won't chip or dent easily from the inevitable bumps and scrapes of a busy kitchen. So, while it looks sleek and professional, the real benefit of this stainless steel plate trolley is that it’s a long-term, safe, and incredibly durable partner for your daily operations.
Who Should Buy This?
