How to choose the right Shakti Melamine Barware & Tableware

• Start by assessing your service style: buffet, deli counter, plated restaurant service or cocktail bar, and choose plates, bowls and platters to match.
• Consider portion sizes and menu items when selecting dish diameters, depths and platter dimensions to avoid overcrowding or wasted space.
• Match colours and finishes such as Copenhagen, Osaka, Utah or New Haven to your existing tableware, decor and brand identity.
• Decide on the mix of standard plates, deep dishes, salad boxes and bento-style lids if you run self-service or grab-and-go counters.
• Include enough silicone utensils (ladles, spoons, tongs) to cover each buffet station or bar area for smooth, hygienic service.
• Check stacking and storage requirements so your chosen pieces fit neatly in existing shelving, hot counters or refrigerated displays.

Care and maintenance

• Wash melamine pieces promptly after service using non-abrasive detergents to maintain surface finish and colour.
• Avoid harsh scouring pads or aggressive chemicals that can dull or scratch melamine and silicone surfaces.
• Follow manufacturer guidance on dishwasher suitability and maximum temperature to prevent warping or discolouration.
• Inspect silicone utensils regularly for cuts, tears or heat damage and replace any items that could harbour bacteria.
• Store plates, bowls and platters stacked evenly on flat shelves to prevent stress points and accidental chipping.
• Rotate stock in daily use so wear is spread evenly across the collection, extending the life of your buffet and displayware.
