Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salted Pig, a popular gastropub in York, wanted to refresh their tabletop presentation to better reflect their creative, locally-sourced menu. They replaced their standard white crockery with the Olympia FU201 dinner plates to add a touch of rustic sophistication.
"The moment we unboxed these plates, we knew we'd made the right choice. The colour is fantastic and really makes our food pop. Our regulars noticed immediately, and the feedback on our presentation has been overwhelmingly positive. They're tough as old boots, too!"
Robert Miller – Head Chef & Owner
The change contributed to a significant increase in social media shares from customers, with tagged photos of their dishes rising by over 30% in the first two months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack carefully and inspect each plate for any transit damage before first use.
- Give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with a suitable detergent to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Ensure plates are completely dry before stacking them for the first time.
Keeping It Going
- Load into dishwasher racks carefully, avoiding direct contact between plate rims to prevent scratching.
- The embossed rim can trap food particles, so ensure your dishwasher's spray arms are clear and effective.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as moving a hot plate from an oven directly into cold water, to prevent thermal shock.
- Stack plates vertically in plate jacks or in short, neat piles to protect the rims and glaze.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Means for Your Kitchen
You'll often see 'fully vitrified porcelain' mentioned, but what does it really mean for a busy kitchen? Think of standard ceramic like a very dense sponge – it can still absorb tiny amounts of water, grease, and odours over time. Vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature (over 1200°C) until the clay particles literally fuse together and become glass-like. This makes the plate completely non-porous. For you, this means it’s far more hygienic, won't harbour bacteria, is much more resistant to chipping, and won’t be weakened by the intense heat of a commercial dishwasher. It's the secret behind truly professional-grade durability.
