How to choose the right Food Serving Platters and Trays

• Match tray size to your menu items, from small side plates and drinks service to large sharing platters and buffet displays.
• Decide between oval or rectangular shapes depending on your table layout, pass area and style of service.
• Consider handled trays for safe, stable carrying in busy restaurants, bars and banqueting operations.
• Choose models with covers when you need to protect food on buffets or maintain temperature during service.
• Check stackability and storage footprint, especially for hotels, event venues and contract caterers with high volumes.
• Review build quality and weight to balance durability with comfortable handling for your team.

Care and maintenance

• Wash trays promptly after service, using non-abrasive detergents to protect the stainless steel finish.
• Avoid harsh scouring pads that can scratch surfaces and make cleaning more difficult over time.
• Dry trays and covers thoroughly to prevent water spots and maintain a polished, front-of-house appearance.
• Inspect edges and handles regularly for dents or damage that could affect safe carrying.
• Store trays stacked carefully to avoid warping and to keep them ready for fast setup before service.
• Follow manufacturer guidance on dishwasher use and any specific care instructions for chrome-plated finishes.
