When selecting the best serving ware for your institutional foodservice dining operation, you will want to take into consideration the following things:
- Do I want china, plastic, melamine, or stainless steel serving ware for my dining area?
- Will I need serving ware that hold cold products and keep them chilled?
- What types of serving bowls, serving platters, and serving utensils do I need for my menu?
Consider your menu: The type of food you serve will have a big impact on the type of serving ware you need. For example, if you serve soups or stews, you'll need bowls with high sides to prevent spills. If you serve salads, you'll need bowls with a wide, shallow shape.
Choose the right material: Serving ware can be made from a variety of materials, including plastic, ceramic, glass, and stainless steel. Each material has its own benefits and drawbacks, so consider the durability, ease of cleaning, and appearance of each option.
Think about portion sizes: Consider the portion sizes of your dishes and choose serving ware that is appropriately sized. This will not only help you control costs by portioning out food accurately, but also make it easier for your customers to serve themselves.
Look for versatility: Choose serving ware that can be used for a variety of dishes, such as plates that can be used for appetizers, entrees, and desserts. This will help you save space and reduce the number of items you need to keep in inventory.
Check for durability: Serving ware can take a lot of wear and tear in a commercial kitchen, so it's important to choose durable options that can withstand frequent use and cleaning. Look for models made from high-quality materials and with solid construction.
