Fine Dine – bar equipment (2)

Fine Dine trays for professional bars

In a busy venue, a tray is an essential piece of service equipment. It allows you to carry several drinks in a single trip, keep things organised when serving orders and safely deliver glassware to the table.

Fine Dine bar trays can be used to serve:

• cocktails and drinks,
• wine, beer and spirits,
• water, juices and soft drinks,
• coffee and tea,
• bottles, decanters and jugs,
• small snacks and bills.

Bar and waiter’s trays

Bar trays are usually chosen for carrying glasses and shot glasses, whilst larger waiter’s trays can also hold teacups, small plates or several items from a single order.

When choosing, it is worth paying attention to:

• the diameter or dimensions of the tray,
• the maximum number of items it can hold,
• the height of the rim,
• the stability of the surface,
• how comfortable it is to hold,
• stackability and storage options.

A surface that prevents glasses from sliding

Trays with a non-slip surface help keep glasses in place whilst walking, turning and stopping. This is particularly useful when handling tall glasses, full glasses and cups placed on saucers.

However, tableware should always be arranged evenly, with heavier items placed closer to the centre of the tray. Proper weight distribution ensures comfort and safety whilst working.

Uses for Fine Dine trays

Trays from this brand are ideal for various types of catering service:

• in cocktail bars and pubs,
• in restaurants and cafés,
• in hotel bars,
• at banquets and conferences,
• in the catering industry,
• when serving on terraces and in outdoor dining areas.

How to choose a Fine Dine tray?

The size of the tray should be tailored to typical orders and the conditions in the venue. A smaller model will be convenient for serving individual drinks and in narrow aisles, whilst a larger tray will help reduce the number of trips when serving groups and at events.

Before purchasing, it is worth considering:

• the type and height of the glassware used,
• the average number of drinks per order,
• the width of the aisles between tables,
• the intensity of the service workload,
• the designated storage area for the trays,
• how they are cleaned.

Cleaning and storage

Trays should be regularly cleaned of spilled drinks, crumbs and sticky residues. Particular attention should be paid to the non-slip surface, where dirt can accumulate.

After washing, it is advisable to dry the tray thoroughly before putting it away or stacking it. You should also use cleaning products suitable for the material and follow the instructions on the product information sheet.
