Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pier View Café, a popular spot in Aberystwyth, was struggling with the constant expense and waste from chipped and broken ceramic plates due to their high footfall and fast-paced environment.
"We were replacing plates constantly; it felt like a never-ending cycle. Switching to these Kristallon narrow rim plates was a revelation. They look just as good, but they can handle the daily chaos of our café without a single chip in sight. The team is happier, and my budget is healthier."
Rhys Williams – Owner, The Pier View Café
The café successfully cut its annual crockery replacement budget by over 60% and significantly reduced clearing-up times.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Always give your new plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use.
- Inspect each plate upon unboxing to ensure it's arrived in perfect condition.
- Stack them neatly in your storage area; their lightweight nature makes them easy to handle.
Keeping Them Perfect
- These plates are fully commercial dishwasher safe for fast and easy cleaning.
- To avoid dulling the finish, use non-abrasive cloths or sponges. Steer clear of steel wool.
- Never use in a conventional oven, grill, or microwave oven as this can damage the material.
- While scratch-resistant, it's best to avoid using heavily serrated steak knives to preserve the pristine surface.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Makes Melamine the Smarter Choice for Catering?
Ever wondered what melamine actually is? Put simply, it’s a super-strong, nitrogen-based organic compound that creates a thermosetting plastic. That means once it's moulded into a plate, it retains its shape and strength permanently, even when heated (though not in a microwave or oven!). It’s this property that makes it vastly superior to standard plastic and much more durable than ceramic for high-contact environments. Think of it like this: porcelain is like a glass window – elegant but fragile. Melamine is more like the safety glass in a car windscreen; it's engineered to withstand knocks, bumps, and drops without shattering into dangerous pieces. It gives you the look you want with the resilience you absolutely need.
