Common Questions About Specialty Dinnerware
What is a meal delivery system?
As mentioned above, meal delivery systems are commonplace in the majority of health care facilities, such as hospitals and nursing homes. Pieces such as compartment trays, heated bases, and domed covers are included in meal delivery systems. The majority of items in a meal delivery system are constructed of a durable plastic called Tritan that resists bending, shattering, and denting. This makes it a safe item for hospital patients or elderly persons to handle. Heated bases preserve a meal's freshness, while a cover prevents contamination by germs and debris.
What is a charger plate?
Charger plates – also called charger dishes and service plates – are for decoration more than to be used to dine on. They operate as a barrier between dining plates and the tablecloth. Charger plates elevate the dining plate to bring attention to the dish, help with suggestive selling, and add pops of color to a table setting. With some establishments choosing to forgo placemats in favor of charger plates, they've become increasingly popular over the years. Charger plates can be removed quickly from the table, cleaned, and returned during course changes, ensuring that the table setting remains stylish and also aesthetically pleasing to customers.
What types of Asian dinnerware are available?
If you are looking to start an Asian restaurant, you must verify you have the proper specialty dinnerware. There is a plethora of Asian tableware, with most pieces designed to serve specific functions. Bento boxes consist of several compartments made to be filled with foods such as fish or meat, pickled vegetables, and noodles. For sake – an alcoholic beverage produced by fermenting polished rice that no longer has the bran – there are small sake cups available. Sauce pans and dishes are used to house sauces such as soy sauce and yum yum sauce, and they're commonly found on table settings at hibachi grills. Sushi boats are also available to improve sushi presentation. Rice and salad bowls can be purchased in the shapes and patterns unique to most Asian eateries.
