Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Peak District Pantry, a bustling bakery café in Bakewell, Derbyshire, wanted to refresh their front-of-house display. Their flat, stainless steel trays felt cold and didn't do justice to their home-baked goods.
"Our customers really appreciate the little details. Swapping to these wooden trays has made our counter so much more inviting. They give our cakes and pastries the beautiful, rustic stage they deserve. It just feels right for our brand."
Samuel Jones – Owner
The new setup created a more visually dynamic counter, contributing to a noticeable 20% increase in sales of high-margin cakes and pastries.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before its first outing, give the tray a gentle wipe with a damp cloth and a spot of mild soap, then dry it thoroughly.
- Always place it on a flat, stable surface to ensure your delicious display is safe and secure.
- To protect the beautiful wood finish, we recommend using food-safe paper or doilies as a barrier for baked goods.
- Check for compatibility if you plan to use it with a roll-top cover for a snug and secure fit.
Keeping It Going
- This is strictly a hand-wash item. Never soak it in water or put it through a commercial dishwasher.
- After washing, dry it immediately with a soft, clean cloth to prevent any water spots or potential warping.
- To keep the acacia wood looking rich and feeling healthy, you can occasionally treat it with a food-safe mineral oil.
- Store it in a dry area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, to maintain its shape and condition for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I put hot food directly onto this tray?
A: It's designed for ambient or chilled dry foods like cakes, bread, and pastries. Direct contact with very hot items could potentially damage the wood finish.
Q: Is acacia wood strong enough for a busy commercial setting?
A: Absolutely. Acacia is a dense hardwood known for its natural durability and resistance to wear, making it an excellent choice for daily use in a café or hotel.
Q: Will the colour of the wood change over time?
A: Like any natural wood product, the grain and tone are unique to each piece. Its rich colour can be maintained by occasionally treating it with a food-safe wood oil.
Q: Can I use this as a cutting board?
A: We strongly advise against it. Using knives directly on the surface will scratch and damage the wood, so it's best used purely for presentation.
Q: How heavy is the Olympia FE151 display tray?
A: It has a nice bit of heft, weighing 1.92kg. This makes it feel substantial and stable on the counter, but it's still light enough to be moved and cleaned easily.
Q: What is the best way to clean it after service?
A: A quick wipe with a damp, soft cloth and a tiny amount of mild washing-up liquid is all you need. The most important step is to dry it thoroughly straight away.
Q: Is this tray stackable for storage?
A: Due to its raised design, it doesn't stack neatly on top of identical trays. It's best stored individually on a shelf.
Q: Does the tray come with a cover included?
A: The cover is sold separately, but the tray is specifically designed to be compatible with the Olympia Kristallon PC Rolltop Cover (DN640) for excellent hygiene.
The Olympia Touch: Presentation That Sells
In a competitive market, great presentation isn't just a finishing touch; it's a core part of your business strategy. Olympia has built its reputation on providing front-of-house solutions that are both affordable and genuinely impactful, and this tray is a prime example. Investing in quality displayware like this acacia wood GN 1/1 display tray sends a clear message of quality and care to your customers before they've even taken a bite. The natural, tactile quality of the wood creates an impression of authenticity that mass-produced plastic or cold metal simply can't match. Over its long lifespan, this durable tray will elevate countless daily displays, justifying its cost not just in longevity, but by helping to turn browsers into buyers and enhancing the perceived value of your products. It’s a simple, reliable investment in making your food look as good as it tastes.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'GN 1/1' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?
You'll see 'Gastronorm' or 'GN' sizing mentioned a lot with pro kitchen gear, but what is it? Think of it like LEGOs for your kitchen. Gastronorm is a European standard for container sizes, ensuring everything from different brands fits together perfectly. This Olympia FE151 is a 'GN 1/1' size, which is the foundational 'baseplate' size (530 x 325mm, though this frame is slightly larger to hold a 1/1 liner). This means you can confidently place a standard 1/1 gastronorm container inside it, or it will fit into a 1/1 sized slot in a buffet counter. Using a standard acacia wood gastronorm tray like this eliminates guesswork and ensures your equipment works together seamlessly, making service smoother and more efficient.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotels & Guesthouses: An ideal choice for adding a touch of rustic sophistication to your breakfast buffet or afternoon tea service.
- Artisan Cafés & Bakeries: Superb for showcasing fresh pastries, artisan cakes, and sourdough loaves right on the countertop.
- Event Caterers: A stylish and portable commercial wooden GN tray for weddings, conferences, and corporate functions.
- Farm Shops & Delis: Perfect for creating appealing displays of pre-packaged cheeses, charcuterie, and other local artisanal products.
