Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Merchant's Yard, a bustling gastropub in York, needed to replace their tired and easily chipped glassware. They wanted something that could withstand constant use while reflecting the quality of their food and drink menu.
"We were constantly replacing our old glasses. The Olympia Arno tumblers not only look the part, but they're also remarkably tough. Our cocktails look sharper, and our customers have even commented on how nice they feel to hold. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference."
Ben Carter – General Manager
The switch resulted in a 35% reduction in glassware breakage and replacement costs within the first three months of use.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, carefully unpack and inspect each glass for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Before their first use, run the glasses through a full cycle in your commercial glasswasher to ensure they are pristine.
- Check that your dishwasher's rinse aid and detergent levels are correct to guarantee a sparkling, streak-free finish.
- Store on a clean, non-slip mat on your shelves to minimise the risk of chipping and to allow for proper air drying.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent thermal shock and cracking, allow hot glasses from the washer to cool slightly before filling with ice.
- For stubborn marks like lipstick, use a soft cloth or sponge before washing, avoiding abrasive scourers.
- Regularly check the rims for any tiny chips or cracks and remove any damaged glasses from service immediately for safety.
- For maximum shine before a busy service, give them a quick polish with a clean, dry microfibre cloth.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just Glass: Why Crystal Clarity Matters
You might see 'crystal glass' on a spec sheet and think it's just a fancy marketing term, but it makes a tangible difference to the customer experience. Unlike standard glass, lead-free crystal contains minerals that increase its 'refractive index'. In plain English, that means it bends light more effectively, creating a noticeable sparkle that makes the contents look more vibrant and appealing. It’s the visual equivalent of a dull photo versus a bright, sharp one – the colours in your cocktails and juices simply pop. This brilliant clarity, combined with the reassuring weight of these crystal hi ball tumblers 285ml, signals quality to your guests before they even take their first sip.
Who Should Buy This?
- Cocktail Bars & Pubs: Ideal for serving premium spirits with mixers, long drinks, and a wide range of cocktails elegantly.
- Restaurants & Bistros: An excellent choice for serving table water or soft drinks, instantly upgrading the entire dining experience.
- Hotels & Event Venues: These durable glasses are perfect for high-volume use in room service, functions, and hotel bars.
- Modern Cafés: The crystal clarity makes them fantastic for showcasing colourful artisan sodas, iced teas, and fresh juices.
