  • Choosing the Right Flatware for Your Business
    There are some important decisions to make when choosing the right flatware for your business. Style, balance and weight of flatware should be considered prior to purchase.
  • Flatware: Choosing the Right Setting
    There are some specific guidelines to follow when setting a table. Whether setting a table for a casual lunch or for a formal dinner, usability and geometrics of the table should be taken into account.
The metal composition of your restaurant flatware is the first decision you should make. The metal composition determines the durability and rust resistance of the utensils. For instance, 18/10 and 18/0 grade stainless steel both have 18 percent chromium, but the higher nickel content of 18/10 grade stainless steel makes the knives, spoons and forks heavier, more lustrous and more rust resistant than those made of 18/0 grade stainless. 18/0 grade stainless is flimsier and likely to warp or bend after continual use.
 
Although simple and small, commercial flatware will make an important impression in your restaurant or dining room. Be sure your forks, knives and spoons match the design of your décor. However, your decision should not be based on style alone. Sometimes it is best to choose a classic design, so that you can find a similar design in case the product is discontinued. Determine how many tabletop utensils you will need based on the number of tables in your dining room and your typical guest traffic. Generally, you should purchase at least two and a half times the amount you will need at full capacity. The table setting you plan to use should guide your decision. For instance, a fine dining seafood restaurant will require dinner forks, salad forks and even cocktail and fish forks, whereas a casual dining restaurant usually presents only two forks to its guests.
