Expert Review and Insights
In buffet presentation, height is everything. It breaks up the visual line and creates points of interest that draw the eye. What I love about this Olympia riser is its elegant simplicity. It does one job—lifting the food—and does it perfectly, with the added security of a non-slip top which is often overlooked. It's a subtle but powerful tool for any presentation-conscious business.

Pros: The non-slip coating is superb and gives genuine peace of mind.
Cons: Its specific size works best with larger, round platters.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Room, a bustling café in Bath, wanted to refresh their counter display to better showcase their range of homemade scones and cakes. Their existing layout was flat and made the counter look crowded, especially during the busy tourist season.
"We introduced six of these Olympia risers and the counter was instantly transformed. It looks cleaner, more organised, and customers are commenting on how great the cakes look. The non-slip feature is brilliant; there are no worries about our best plates sliding off during a rush."
Robert Finch – Owner
The new display has visibly increased cake sales and improved the flow of customers along the counter.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Place the riser on a clean, flat, and stable surface.
- For best results, use with plates or platters that are wider than 260mm.
- Position away from the edge of counters to avoid being knocked in high-traffic areas.
- Check that the item placed on top is well-balanced.
Keeping It Going
- The stand is fully dishwasher safe, making for a simple and hygienic clean.
- For quick spot-cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals which could damage the coating.
- Store in a dry area to ensure the metal frame remains in top condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the ideal plate size for this stand?
A: It's designed to work best with plates and platters that are wider than 230mm and 260mm. This ensures the best stability and visual balance.
Q: Is the non-slip surface a separate mat or part of the stand?
A: It is a special coating applied directly to the top of the wire frame, so there are no separate parts to lose or clean.
Q: How durable is the black coating?
A: The coating is designed for commercial use, but to keep it looking its best, we recommend avoiding sharp knives or abrasive scourers directly on the surface.
Q: Can these risers be stacked on top of each other for display?
A: No, they are not designed to be stacked for service. However, their shape allows them to nest for more compact storage.
Q: What is the Olympia HY985 display stand made of?
A: It's made from a robust metal wire, finished with a protective black coating and a special non-slip surface on top.
Q: Is it heavy to move around?
A: Not at all. It weighs just 0.54kg, making it very easy to lift and reposition on your counter or buffet table.
Q: Can I use this in a heated cabinet or under a heat lamp?
A: We would advise against it. High heat is not recommended as it could potentially damage the non-slip coating over time.
Q: What is the best way to clean it?
A: The easiest way is to pop it in a commercial dishwasher. It can also be quickly wiped down with a soft cloth and soapy water.

Ever seen a customer nudge a plate at a buffet and held your breath? In a busy, self-service environment, accidents happen. That's where the non-slip coating on this riser becomes so important. Think of it like having good winter tyres on your car; it provides that essential grip when you need it most. The slightly rubberised, textured surface gently holds the base of your platter or plate, stopping it from shifting or sliding, even if it gets knocked. It's the difference between a secure, confident display and a potential mess of broken crockery and wasted food. This small, thoughtful detail protects your investment in both serveware and ingredients.
