Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Meadowsweet Inn, a bustling B&B in Bakewell, Derbyshire, was constantly replacing its chipped ceramic butter dishes after a busy breakfast service. They needed a more robust solution that still looked premium for their guests.
"We switched to the Olympia steel butter dishes six months ago and haven't looked back. They look incredibly smart on the breakfast table, they go straight in the dishwasher, and we haven't had a single breakage. It's a small change that has made our service smoother and more professional."
Robert Green – Proprietor
The switch completely eliminated their replacement costs and staff spend less time handling fragile items, improving overall efficiency during peak times.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, simply unpack the butter dish and lid.
- Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water or run it through the dishwasher before its first use.
- For best results on a hot day, you can pre-chill the dish in the fridge before adding butter.
- Check that the lid sits correctly on the base.
Keeping It Going
- This butter dish is fully commercial dishwasher safe.
- To maintain its shine, dry it with a soft, microfibre cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch the polished surface.
- Store in a dry cupboard when not in use to keep it in pristine condition.
