Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Ferryman's Inn, a popular riverside pub in York, needed to replace its mismatched and chipped glassware to improve presentation ahead of the busy tourist season. They needed a durable, cost-effective solution that could handle high-volume use seven days a week.
"We were constantly losing glasses to breakages during busy shifts and washing cycles. We switched to the Utopia FB191 tumblers a few months ago, and they've been absolutely brilliant. They feel sturdy, they come out of the glasswasher looking great every time, and our replacement rate has dropped significantly."
Michael Edwards – Landlord
Since making the switch, The Ferryman's Inn has reported a 30% reduction in glassware breakage and associated replacement costs.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash glassware thoroughly before its first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or storage.
- Inspect each glass upon arrival for any imperfections or transit damage.
- Designate a clean, secure, and easily accessible shelf for storage, away from heavy traffic areas.
- If using a glass-washer, ensure the rinse aid and detergent levels are correct for a sparkling finish.
Keeping It Going
- Avoid stacking glasses directly inside one another as this can cause pressure cracks and make them stick.
- Use a soft, non-abrasive sponge or cloth if washing by hand to prevent scratches.
- Regularly check for chips or cracks, especially around the rim, and remove any damaged glasses from service immediately.
- Allow glasses to air dry completely or use a microfibre cloth to prevent water spots and lint.
