Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Yorkshire Hotel in Harrogate was struggling with service delays during their popular Sunday carvery and wedding receptions. Their existing, smaller trolleys created a constant backlog, causing staff stress and affecting the guest experience.
"The Matfer Bourgeat trolley transformed our service flow overnight. We can now clear and set up for the next course in one go. The staff are less frantic, and we've had fewer chipped plates since it arrived. It just works, plain and simple."
Robert Davies – Food & Beverage Manager
The hotel successfully reduced its main course service time for a 150-guest event by over 30%, leading to faster table turnovers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, ensure all four wheels are tightly secured and rotate freely.
- Before its first big service, do a trial run with a few plates to get a feel for its movement and balance.
- Plan your service routes in advance, ensuring doorways and corridors are clear of obstructions.
- Brief your team on correct loading procedure – distribute weight evenly for maximum stability.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the entire frame with a food-safe sanitiser after every single service.
- Once a week, check the wheel castors for any trapped hair, dirt, or debris that could hinder movement.
- Perform a monthly inspection of all joints and fittings to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- For a deep clean, use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner to maintain its shine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this trolley require assembly?
A: Most plate trolleys of this type arrive fully assembled or require minimal assembly, such as attaching the wheels. Always check the product manual upon delivery.
Q: What is the maximum diameter of plate it can hold?
A: This trolley is designed for standard commercial dinner plates, typically up to 30cm (12 inches) in diameter. It's always best to measure your specific plates if they are unusually large.
Q: How should I clean the stainless steel?
A: For daily cleaning, a soft cloth with a food-safe sanitiser is perfect. For a deeper clean, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner and wipe in the direction of the grain.
Q: Can the wheels be locked in place?
A: This model features free-swivelling wheels for maximum manoeuvrability. If locking brakes are essential, you may need to check for alternative models with that specific feature.
Q: Is it safe to use for hot plates directly from a plate warmer?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel construction and durable wheels are designed to handle the temperatures of heated plates common in commercial service.
Q: Is it difficult to steer when fully loaded to 200 plates?
A: Thanks to its quality construction and smooth-rolling castors, it is designed to be stable and easy to manoeuvre even at full capacity, provided the weight is distributed evenly.
Q: Can this trolley hold bowls as well as plates?
A: It is specifically designed for plates. While some shallow pasta bowls might fit, it is not optimised for deeper bowls, which may not sit securely.
Q: How tall is the unit?
A: As a 'tall' model, it is designed to maximise vertical space. We advise checking the specific dimensions against your door frames and storage areas before purchasing.

Explore more from Matfer BourgeatWhy Stainless Steel is the Only Choice for Kitchen Hygiene
You'll see 'stainless steel' listed on a lot of equipment, but what does it really mean for your kitchen? Think of it like the difference between a ceramic plate and a paper one. Cheaper materials like coated metals or plastics can easily scratch and chip. These tiny imperfections become breeding grounds for bacteria that are almost impossible to clean, posing a real risk to your food safety standards.
Stainless steel, however, has a non-porous surface. This means there's literally nowhere for germs to hide. A quick wipe-down with the right sanitiser is all it takes to leave it hygienically clean and ready for service. It’s this quality that makes a stainless steel plate storage trolley not just a durable choice, but a crucial part of meeting your EHO obligations and keeping your customers safe.
