Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Sundae Spot," a popular seaside dessert bar in Tenby, Wales, was struggling with glassware breakages during the hectic summer tourist season. The constant risk and replacement cost of their traditional glass sundae dishes prompted a search for a more durable alternative.
"We were losing several glasses a day to accidental drops, especially on the patio. Since switching to the Olympia Kristallon polycarbonate dessert glasses, we haven't had a single breakage in three months. The peace of mind is invaluable, and our customers can't even tell the difference."
Liam Davies – Owner, The Sundae Spot
The switch has dramatically reduced their overheads, cutting annual glassware replacement costs by an estimated 90% and eliminating safety incidents related to broken glass.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give them a thorough wash in warm, soapy water or a dishwasher cycle before first use.
- When stacking, try not to scrape the glasses together to maintain their crystal-clear finish.
- Inspect each glass upon arrival to ensure it meets your standards before adding to service.
Keeping It Going
- To avoid clouding, use a dishwasher-safe rinse aid.
- Always use non-abrasive cloths or sponges when washing by hand to prevent fine scratches.
- Avoid using harsh scouring powders or abrasive chemicals, which can damage the surface over time.
- While durable, try to store them away from sharp objects that could cause deep gouges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these commercial polycarbonate sundae glasses genuinely unbreakable?
A: They are virtually unbreakable and shatter-resistant under normal use. They can withstand being dropped on most floor surfaces without breaking like glass would.
Q: Do they look and feel like real glass?
A: They have excellent clarity and look very similar to real glass. However, they are significantly lighter, which is a key difference in feel.
Q: Can strong-coloured sauces like raspberry coulis stain the polycarbonate?
A: High-quality polycarbonate is highly resistant to staining. For best results, wash them promptly after use and avoid letting colourful sauces sit in them for extended periods.
Q: Are they suitable for serving hot desserts like sticky toffee pudding?
A: Polycarbonate is best suited for cold or warm desserts. It is not recommended for serving piping hot liquids or desserts straight from the oven.
Q: What is the best way to wash them to keep them looking new?
A: Use a commercial dishwasher with a standard cycle and a rinse aid, or wash by hand with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals.
Q: Are these glasses BPA-free?
A: Yes, all modern food-safe polycarbonate ware, like this Olympia Kristallon sundae glass, is manufactured to be BPA-free and comply with all food safety standards.
Q: How many glasses come in one pack?
A: These are sold in a box of 12, making them great value for stocking up your cafe or restaurant.
Q: Can I put them in the freezer to chill before service?
A: Yes, polycarbonate handles cold temperatures very well. You can chill them in a fridge or freezer before serving ice cream for an extra professional touch.

The long-term value is measured not just in the money saved on re-orders, but in the time saved cleaning up hazards, the confidence of your staff, and the consistent, professional presentation your customers see every single day. It’s the peace of mind that comes from knowing a simple, everyday item won't become an unexpected problem or expense.
Explore more from OlympiaWhy Polycarbonate is a Smarter Choice than Glass
Ever wondered what makes these glasses so tough? It's the polycarbonate. Think of it as the superhero of plastics. Unlike standard, brittle plastic or fragile glass, polycarbonate is a high-performance polymer renowned for its incredible impact resistance and strength. It's the same family of material used for things like protective goggles and shatterproof windows.
For your business, this means you get a glass that looks crystal clear but behaves completely differently when dropped. Instead of shattering into dangerous shards, it will likely just bounce. This single property transforms your operation by removing a major safety hazard, drastically cutting the money you spend on replacing broken items, and giving you the confidence to use proper dessert-ware in any setting, from a child's birthday party to a bustling outdoor event.
Who Should Buy This?
- Dessert Parlours & Gelaterias: Safely serve impressive sundaes to families without the constant worry of broken glass on floors.
- Busy Cafes & Bistros: An ideal, reusable ice cream dessert glass that withstands the daily rush and frequent washing cycles.

- Schools & Care Homes: A safe and durable option for serving puddings to vulnerable diners where safety is paramount.
