Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Fresh Fork", a popular lunchtime spot in Leeds, wanted to refresh its ageing salad bar to attract more health-conscious office workers. Their mismatched collection of bowls looked tired and unprofessional, failing to do justice to their fresh ingredients.
"We switched to these Olympia Kristallon bowls and the difference was instant. The uniform black colour makes our salads look incredibly vibrant and appealing. They’re so easy for staff to clean and they look just as good now as they did six months ago. Our customers definitely noticed the upgrade."
Michael Davies – Owner, The Fresh Fork
After implementing the new display bowls, the deli saw a measurable 25% increase in build-your-own salad sales within the first two months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give the bowls a thorough wash in warm, soapy water or a dishwasher cycle before their first use.
- Ensure the bowl is placed on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping during service.
- When arranging a display, leave a little space between bowls for easy access for customers and staff.
Keeping It Going
- The bowl is dishwasher safe, making cleaning simple. Place on the top rack if possible.
- To avoid scratches and maintain the sleek finish, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemicals.
- Check for any deep scratches or cracks regularly as part of your food safety routine.
- Stack carefully when dry to prevent unnecessary wear and tear and to save space.
Frequently Asked Questions

Explore more from OlympiaWhat is SAN Plastic and Why Does It Matter?
Ever wondered what makes one plastic bowl last for years while another cracks after a few washes? Often, the secret is the type of plastic. This bowl is made from SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile), which is a step up from common plastics. Think of it like the difference between standard glass and toughened safety glass. SAN is engineered for greater rigidity, hardness, and chemical resistance. For your kitchen, this means it's far less likely to stain from oily dressings or colourful foods (like beetroot!), and it can handle the high temperatures of a commercial dishwasher day in, day out, without warping or becoming brittle. It's that hidden strength that ensures your investment looks professional for longer.

- Hotel Buffets: Ideal for creating a sleek, uniform look for cold breakfast items, yoghurts, or fruit salads.
