Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salt Quay, a popular seafood bar in Cardiff, was tired of constantly replacing their heavy, chipped ceramic starter plates after a busy weekend service.
"We were losing money on breakages every single week. These Olympia melamine plates look just as smart, but we haven't had a single breakage in three months. They've saved us a fortune and a lot of hassle in the kitchen."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The switch resulted in tableware replacement costs being reduced by over 90% in the first quarter.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, unpack and inspect all plates for any signs of transit damage.
- Give them a thorough wash in your commercial dishwasher before their first use.
- Stack them carefully in your storage area, ensuring they are easily accessible for service.
Keeping It Going
- Always wash promptly after use to prevent food from staining the surface.
- Avoid using serrated knives directly on the plates to maximise their scratch resistance.
- Crucially, remember that melamine is not suitable for use in microwaves or conventional ovens.
- Regularly check for any deep scratches or stubborn stains, which may indicate it's time for a replacement.

Ever wondered what makes melamine so tough? Think of it as a high-tech, super-durable plastic, created by combining resins under heat and pressure. The process creates a material that's incredibly resistant to shattering, chipping, and scratching. It’s like having the elegance of ceramic but with the resilience of a rugby player. This means if a plate is accidentally dropped during a hectic service, you're far more likely to be picking up a single, intact plate, not sweeping up a pile of sharp, dangerous shards. This quality makes a rectangular melamine platter for restaurants a much safer and more cost-effective option for any fast-paced food business.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bustling Bistros & Restaurants: Ideal for presenting main courses, sharing platters, or stylish sides that need to impress.
- Event Caterers: Lightweight and shatter-proof, making them perfect for transporting to and from different venues safely.
- Modern Cafés & Delis: A fantastic choice for serving premium sandwiches, cakes, or pastries with a contemporary, sleek edge.
