When it comes to choosing silverware for restaurants, don't skimp -- look for commercial grade flatware, even though you know you may be replacing your flatware often.
Giving your customers a sturdy knife and fork will make all the difference when they dig into a juicy steak. And when you invest in commercial silverware, you make a statement about your restaurant and the total dining experience you want to offer your guests.
Finally, you know that you get what you pay for. Making an investment in high-quality commercial silverware that will last will pay off, although the initial expense may be painful.
When looking into silverware for restaurants, consider a few important points:
1. Decide whether you want stainless steel or silverplated flatware for restaurants.
2. Choose a restaurant flatware pattern that you can re-order when necessary.
3. Order more than you think you need and put it somewhere safe, just in case you run out of clean silverware on busy nights.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Look at silverware for restaurants that will match everything
Choose restaurant silverware that complements your decor and the rest of your restaurant china. By selecting a classic style of restaurant cutlery that feels substantial in the hands of your guests, you will make a good impression.
I recommend: Maine Supply offers the heavy-duty Stanford 18/10 stainless steel flatware from Winco, designed for hotels and the best restaurants. With this company, you must place a minimum order. You can't go wrong with the
Silver Shell Oneida silverplated silverware for restaurants from the Restaurant Source, which also offers financing for customers.
Save big on value-priced restaurant grade flatware
Maybe it's not in the cards right now for you to set your tables with the very best silverplated flatware. You can still find great deals on the Internet that will help to maximize your bottom-line.
I recommend: Take a look at KNG's choice of restaurant quality
flatware in a pebble design. If you have a small, elegant establishment, consider purchasing vintage hotel flatware from
P.O.S.H. Chicago.
Don't forget the steak knives
If there's anything on your menu that requires cutting, you'll have to order some steak knives for your guests when you're placing an order for kitchen grade flatware. Choose from wood or plastic handles for steak knives, as well as a variety of sizes and prices.
I recommend: Order top-quality steak knives from
New York First. Or check out the micro-serrated steak knives from
Able Kitchen, one of the restaurant flatware providers on the Internet.
