Consider When Purchasing Restaurant Dinnerware

Whether you run a casual restaurant, fine dining establishment or a food truck, there’s one thing that your establishment will need: dinnerware. It may not seem like something important, but the right dinnerware will add to the customer’s dining experience and give them something to talk about.


Restaurant dinnerware should be chosen carefully. In addition to aesthetics, you want to make sure that your dishware meets customer expectations while staying in your budget.


Here are some tips to help you find the best restaurant dishes for your establishment.

Durability is another important factor. Unlike the home dishes, restaurant dishware gets used multiple times per day, every day. It’s common for commercial dishes to break, become damaged or wear out quickly.

The most durable dinnerware will reduce your replacement costs, but you have to keep your guests’ expectations in mind. For example, if you run a casual restaurant, your guests probably won’t mind if their food is served on durable dishes made of melamine or a similar material. But if you run a fine dining restaurant, your guests will expect fine dining dinnerware with high end dinner plates.

Durability is important because it will affect your costs. It’s important to find a balance between cost and durability that meets the expectations of customers.

Many restaurants choose porcelain or china for their dinner plates. Both types are made of fine-particle clay, fired at a high temperature. The resulting dishware is non-porous and durable with a fine, polished look.

Porcelain tends to have a more upscale look, making it a great option for formal restaurants.

Typically, even the finest china is microwave-safe, oven-safe and dishwasher-safe. The only exception would be china with gold, silver or platinum accents. These are not microwave-safe, and citrus-based dishwasher detergents can damage metal accents over time.

Bone china is also an option for restaurants. It’s lighter in weight and is the most durable ceramic dinnerware. But these advantages come at a price. While bone china is more expensive, it adds beauty to a table.
