Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Still, a popular cocktail bar in Manchester's Northern Quarter, needed a better way to manage large group orders during their hectic weekend service. They swapped their standard bar trays for a set of Olympia CN508 Shot Paddles to improve both speed and presentation.
"These paddles were a brilliant addition. Our bartenders can now confidently carry a full round through a packed bar in one go. Customers love the look of them, and we've definitely seen an uptick in group shot sales since we introduced them. Simple, sturdy, and effective."
Laura Collins – General Manager
The bar successfully streamlined its serving process, reducing the time taken to deliver group shot orders by an estimated 30% during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, give the paddle a quick wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
- For best results and longevity, apply a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil before its first use.
- Let the oil soak in for a few hours, then wipe off any excess.
- Use the handy leather loop to hang it in a convenient, dry spot behind the bar.
Keeping It Going
- After use, always clean by hand with a damp cloth. Never submerge it in water or put it in a dishwasher.
- Re-apply food-safe oil every few weeks, or whenever the wood starts to look dry, to keep it hydrated and protected.
- Periodically check that the leather hanging loop is secure.
- Store away from direct heat sources like grills or ovens to prevent the wood from warping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the shot glasses included with the paddle?
A: No, the Olympia CN508 paddle is sold on its own. The shot glasses (GF919) can be purchased separately.
Q: Can I put this wooden paddle in the dishwasher?
A: Absolutely not. Dishwashers will strip the oils and cause the solid wood to warp and crack. Always clean it by hand with a damp cloth.
Q: What type of oil should I use to maintain it?
A: Any food-safe or food-grade mineral oil is perfect. You can find these easily online or in kitchen supply shops.
Q: How heavy is the paddle when empty?
A: It's very manageable, weighing just 360 grams, so it won't be a strain for your staff to carry.
Q: Is the handle strong enough when it's fully loaded with six full glasses?
A: Yes, it's crafted from a single piece of solid oak. The design ensures it remains rigid and won't flex, even when fully loaded.
Q: Can I use it for things other than shots?
A: Definitely! It’s a popular choice for serving flights of mini desserts, appetiser tasters, or even small dipping sauces to share.
Q: What is the leather strap for?
A: The leather loop on the end of the handle is for easy and convenient storage. You can hang it on a hook to keep your bar top clear.
Q: Will any shot glass fit in the holes?
A: It's specifically designed to hold Olympia's GF919 shot glasses for a secure fit. We recommend checking the dimensions of your glasses if you plan to use others.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just Wood: Why a Solid Oak Build Matters
You might see cheaper pine or bamboo paddles out there, but there's a reason professionals choose solid oak. It's not just about the handsome, rustic look; it's about performance under pressure. Solid oak has a natural density and rigidity that cheaper woods lack. Think of it like this: it's the difference between a flimsy paper plate that folds under the weight of a slice of pizza and a proper ceramic plate that holds steady. When your bartender is weaving through a busy Friday night crowd, that rigidity means the paddle won't flex or bounce, preventing spills and giving them the confidence to serve quickly and cleanly. It's a small detail that makes a huge difference to the flow of your service.
Who Should Buy This?
- Traditional Pubs & Inns: Perfect for serving rounds of whisky or schnapps, enhancing the classic pub atmosphere.
- Nightclubs and Live Music Venues: A great way to serve VIP table packages or promotional shots that get people talking.
- Modern Restaurants: Use this oak wood shot serving tray for creative flights of dessert tasters or aperitifs.
- Mobile Bar Services: A durable and stylish accessory that's easy to transport and impresses guests at weddings and events.
