Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A busy secondary school academy in Leeds needed to replace its collection of cracked and mismatched trays ahead of the new school year. They needed something uniform, incredibly durable to handle teenage use, and easy for the kitchen staff to manage during the hectic lunch rush.
"We were constantly throwing old trays away. Since we switched to the Olympia Kristallon trays, we haven't had a single breakage. They stack perfectly, they go through the dishwasher without issue, and the non-slip surface has genuinely cut down on clean-ups in the dining hall. A simple change that's made a big difference."
David Chen – Catering Manager
The switch resulted in a 90% reduction in tray breakages and sped up post-lunch clean-up times by an estimated 20%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give all trays a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Check each tray for any damage that may have occurred during transit before putting it into service.
- Designate a clean, dry, and accessible area for stacking the trays to ensure they are ready for service.
Keeping It Going
- Clean after every use. The tray is dishwasher safe for a full, hygienic wash.
- Stack neatly after cleaning to maximise storage space and prevent them from getting warped or damaged.
- Regularly inspect trays for any deep scratches or cracks, and remove any heavily damaged units from service to maintain standards.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers, as this can damage the textured surface over time.

Ever seen a customer's drink slide across a smooth tray and tip over? The 'textured surface' on this tray is designed to prevent just that. Think of it like the tread on a car tyre. While a smooth surface can let moisture create a slippery film (like a car aquaplaning), the textured pattern on the Olympia Kristallon HY809 tray breaks up that surface tension. It creates hundreds of tiny anchor points that give glasses, plates, and bowls extra grip. This simple design feature significantly reduces the chance of items shifting during transit, leading to fewer spills, less waste, and happier customers.
