Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Poppy's Diner in Bristol was looking to enhance its 1950s theme by replacing its mismatched and easily-chipped dessert bowls. They needed a commercial ice cream sundae glass that was both authentic in style and tough enough for their fast-paced environment.
"These Olympia glasses were exactly what we needed. They look the part, our customers love them, and they've stood up to countless cycles in the dishwasher without a single chip. Our sundaes now look as good as they taste!"
Robert Green – Owner, Poppy's Diner
The investment led to a tangible improvement, reducing their glassware breakage and replacement costs by over 25% in the first six months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully inspect each glass for any signs of damage during transit.
- Always wash thoroughly with a suitable glass detergent before the first use to remove any dust or residue.
- For best results with frozen desserts, pre-chill the glasses in a fridge before service.
- Ensure you have adequate, sturdy shelving with a non-slip surface ready for storage.
Keeping It Going
- To prolong life, use a glass rack in your commercial dishwasher to prevent knocking and chipping.
- Avoid 'thermal shock' by not plunging a cold glass into hot water or vice-versa.
- Regularly check the rims for any tiny chips or cracks – remove any damaged glasses from service immediately.
- Hand-polish with a microfibre cloth after washing for a crystal-clear, professional finish.
