Expert Review and Insights
We're seeing a real shift away from single-use paper on tables. Establishments want something more permanent, stylish, and sustainable. These Olympia boards hit that sweet spot perfectly. They have the premium feel of a permanent fixture but offer the flexibility of a daily specials board. A very smart choice for any modern venue looking to sharpen up its presentation.

- Crisp & Clear: The black surface makes white or coloured liquid chalk pen incredibly easy to read.
- Fingerprint Magnet: The glossy finish will need a regular wipe to keep it looking pristine.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Bistro in York was tired of the cost and waste associated with printing daily specials on laminated paper. The sheets quickly became worn and unprofessional, so they sought a more durable and stylish alternative.
"We were going through so much paper and ink for our daily specials. It felt wasteful and looked a bit scruffy by the end of the day. These Olympia boards look sharp, save us money on printing, and our staff love how easy they are to update each morning."
David Chen – Owner
The bistro completely eliminated its daily printing costs and received numerous compliments from customers on the improved, professional table presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack and carefully remove any protective film from the surface.
- Place the board on a flat, stable surface like a table or countertop.
- For best results, use good quality liquid chalk markers.
- Position it for maximum customer visibility without obstructing the table space.
Keeping It Going
- To clean, simply use a soft, damp cloth and wipe away the marker.
- For stubborn ink, a touch of white vinegar on the cloth or a specialist board cleaner works wonders.
- Never use abrasive scourers or harsh chemical sprays, as they can scratch the acrylic.
- Stack them carefully with a cloth in between when not in use to prevent surface scratches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of pens should I use on these boards?
A: For the best results, we highly recommend using liquid chalk markers. They provide a vibrant, clean line that is easy to wipe off.
Q: Are the boards double-sided?
A: No, these are designed as single-sided display boards with an integrated stand, intended to face the customer.
Q: Can I use traditional stick chalk on them?
A: We'd advise against it. Regular chalk can leave fine scratches on the acrylic surface and won't look as bold or professional as a liquid marker.
Q: How stable are they? Will they blow over outside?
A: Each board weighs only 140g. They are perfectly stable for indoor use on a flat table, but likely too light for outdoor seating on a windy day.
Q: Is the base part of the board or a separate piece?
A: It's an all-in-one design. The board is bent at the base to create its own stable stand, so there are no separate parts to lose.
Q: What exactly is acrylic? Is it just plastic?
A: Acrylic is a high-grade, durable type of thermoplastic known for its clarity and strength. It's often used as a shatter-resistant and lightweight alternative to glass.
Q: How do I get rid of stubborn or 'ghosted' marker ink?
A: A damp microfibre cloth is usually enough. If a faint image remains, a dab of a non-abrasive cleaner like a white vinegar solution will lift it straight off.
Q: Does the pack of 4 come in a single box?
A: Yes, the Olympia HS809 is supplied as a boxed set of four identical table boards.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just a Board: Why Black Acrylic is a Smart Choice
Ever used an old-school chalkboard and noticed you can never quite wipe away the shadow of what was written before? That's called 'ghosting'. These black acrylic tableboards are designed to solve that problem entirely. The surface is completely non-porous, meaning the liquid chalk ink sits on top rather than soaking in.
Think of it like the difference between writing on a painted wall and a pane of glass. The wall (a traditional chalkboard) will absorb some of the ink, leaving a permanent stain. The glass (the acrylic board) wipes perfectly clean every single time. This ensures your 'Soup of the Day' doesn't have a faint ghost of last week's 'Quiche Lorraine' underneath, keeping your messaging crisp and professional, day in, day out.
Who Should Buy This?
- Independent Cafés: Perfect for displaying your tempting 'Cake of the Day' or coffee blends right on the countertop.
- Busy Bistros & Restaurants: Use them as stylish reserved signs or to promote your 'Wine of the Month' on every table.
- Pubs & Bars: A great way to advertise craft ales, gin specials, or upcoming quiz nights without permanent signage.
- Hotels & B&Bs: An elegant solution for displaying Wi-Fi details or a welcome message on a reception desk or in rooms.
