How Olympia Cafe Equipment Works
The Olympia Cafe collection is designed with commercial usability at its core. Unlike standard homewares, these pieces are manufactured using high-fired commercial porcelain, tempered glass, and heavy-gauge stainless steel—creating tableware that maintains its appearance after thousands of service cycles. The range works cohesively across front and back of house operations, with stackable designs that optimize storage while remaining aesthetically pleasing. Each piece undergoes rigorous dishwasher testing to ensure it withstands industrial cleaning processes, high temperatures, and constant handling—precisely what busy cafés and restaurants demand for seamless daily service.
