- Top Notch: The glass quality is superb, offering a distortion-free view of your products.
- Heads Up: It's a cover only, so you'll need to supply your own suitable plate or board.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Bakehouse in Cheltenham wanted to upgrade their counter display from simple cling film to something more professional and hygienic for their award-winning scones. They needed a solution that was both elegant and practical for their busy team.
"We switched to the Olympia domes and the difference was instant. They look so much more professional, and customers can see exactly what they're getting. It feels cleaner, looks better, and our staff find them easy to handle."
Robert Davies – Owner
The change resulted in a noticeable uplift in scone and cake sales, contributing to a 10% increase in overall daily takings from the counter display alone.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack your new dome carefully over a soft surface to avoid any accidental knocks.
- Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water and dry completely before its first use.
- Place it on a completely flat and stable surface, like a countertop or a sturdy cake stand.
- Ensure the plate or board you pair it with is large enough to create a good seal.
Keeping It Going
- For best results and to maintain its sparkle, always hand-wash the dome.
- Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth (like microfibre) to clean and dry it, preventing scratches.
- Regularly check the rim and handle for any small chips or cracks, and replace if damaged.
- Store it somewhere safe where it won't be knocked or have heavy items placed on it.
