- Practical Strength: The wire frame is surprisingly tough and handles the daily knocks of service.
- Size Specific: It’s ideal for wine glasses, but won't fit larger-based gin goblets.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Masons Arms in York, a historic pub with a famously cosy bar, was constantly dealing with cluttered surfaces and accidental breakages during peak tourist times. They needed a storage solution that didn't involve a costly refit.
"We were running out of space to put clean glasses down, especially on a busy Friday night. These racks were the perfect answer. They got the glasses off the bar top and out of the way, but still within easy reach for the team. Simple, but so effective."
Robert Green – Landlord
After installing six of the Olympia FD986 racks under their main back-bar shelving, they reclaimed valuable workspace and reported a significant drop in glassware loss, improving service speed on their most popular wines.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before you start, check that your chosen surface (e.g., the underside of a wooden shelf or cabinet) is solid and can support the weight of the rack and glasses.
- Use a spirit level to ensure the rack is perfectly horizontal so glasses hang straight.
- Position the rack to allow enough clearance below for glasses to hang freely without touching anything.
- Use appropriate screws for your mounting surface (e.g., wood screws for a shelf). Screws are not supplied.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and keep the chrome sparkling.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage the chrome plating.
- Periodically check that the mounting screws are still tight and secure, especially in a high-use environment.
- Ensure glasses are completely dry before placing them in the rack to prevent water marks.

It sounds like a tiny detail, but having 'pre-drilled holes' is what separates a quick 5-minute job from a frustrating afternoon hunting for a drill. This feature means the rack is ready to be fitted straight out of the box using just a screwdriver and the correct screws for your surface. There's no need to hire a handyman or use specialist power tools.
Think of it like this: it’s the difference between building a model aeroplane from a kit where all the parts are ready to clip together, versus having to carve them from a block of wood yourself. The Olympia FD986 glass rack is designed for busy business owners who don't have time for complicated installations. You can fit it securely between services without causing any disruption, saving you both time and money.
