  • Top Marks for Durability: These feel sturdy and  can handle the rigours of a commercial glasswasher.
  • Heads-Up on Marking: Not CE marked, so unsuitable for prescribed spirit measures without a separate thimble.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Queen's Head pub in York needed to replace their mismatched and  frequently broken shot glasses ahead of the busy tourist season. They wanted something that looked traditional but could withstand constant use and  washing.

"We were getting through our old shot glasses at an alarming rate. The Olympia Orleans glasses feel much more substantial. They look the part on the back bar, and  our staff can serve quickly without worrying about flimsy glassware. Breakages are way down, and  service is smoother."

Michael Edwards – Landlord

The pub reported a 30% reduction in glassware replacement costs in the first two months of use.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack and  inspect each glass for any chips or cracks that may have occurred in transit.
  • Run all glasses through a hot wash cycle in your glasswasher before their first use to ensure they are sterile and  pristine.
  • Pre-chill a few glasses in a fridge (not freezer!) if you plan on serving premium spirits neat for an enhanced customer experience.
  • Arrange them on your back bar or in a glass rail for easy access during service.

Keeping It Going

  • Always use a glass rack in your dishwasher to prevent glasses from knocking against each other.
  • Avoid 'thermal shock' by not pouring ice-cold liquid into a glass straight from a hot wash cycle.
  • Polish with a clean, dry microfibre cloth to remove any water spots and  ensure a crystal-clear finish.
  • Check for small chips on the rim regularly and  remove any damaged glasses from service immediately.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Shot Glass

Not sure what fits best for your business? Here are a few things to consider when choosing your glassware.

Capacity & Lines

Decide if you need a specific, government-stamped measure (CE/UKCA marked) or if a non-lined, brim-fill glass like this one suits your needs for shooters and  general use.

Material & Durability

For a busy commercial setting, standard glass is often the most cost-effective. It offers good clarity and, with a robust design like the Orleans, provides excellent durability for its price.

Style & Aesthetics

Choose a style that matches your venue's atmosphere. A classic panelled glass suits traditional pubs and  restaurants, while sleek, simple designs might be better for modern cocktail bars.

Stackability

If back bar space is tight, consider whether you need glasses that can be safely stacked. Tapered designs often stack, but classic straight-sided glasses like these are best stored on shelves or rails.

Cost vs. Lifespan

Investing in a slightly more durable, well-made glass from a trusted brand like Olympia can lead to lower replacement costs over time, making it a smarter long-term purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these Olympia 40ml glassware pieces suitable for a commercial dishwasher?

A: Yes, absolutely. They are designed to be glasswasher safe for quick and  easy cleaning in a professional kitchen or bar environment.

Q: What is the exact capacity of one glass?

A: Each glass has a capacity of 40ml (or 1.25 fluid ounces) when filled to the brim.

Q: How many glasses are in one pack?

A: They are sold in a box of 12 glasses, offering great value for stocking your establishment.

Q: What does 'not CE marked' mean for my pub?

A: It means this glass cannot be legally used to serve prescribed measures of spirits (like gin, rum, vodka, whisky) on its own. You would need to use a separate, certified measure (a jigger or thimble) to pour.

Q: What is the material? Are they toughened glass?

A: They are made from standard, high-quality glass. While not officially 'toughened', their robust construction makes them very durable for commercial use.

Q: Is the panelled design comfortable to hold?

A: Yes, the panelled design is a classic feature that not only looks good but also provides extra grip, making it secure and  comfortable to hold.

Q: Are they suitable for serving layered shots?

A: Yes, the excellent clarity of the glass makes them a great choice for showing off the distinct layers in visually appealing shots and  shooters.
