GET Dinnerware Patterns
GET Enterprises is best known for its durable melamine dinnerware options. For more than 30 years, the company has provided restaurateurs with a wide range of economical pieces, including plates, bowls, mugs, and more. Many eateries make use of tan or white melamine plates, while Mexican restaurants might use brightly colored plates, which have traditionally come in an assortment of peacock blue, rainforest green, Rio orange, and tropical yellow. However, there are quite a few other pattern options you might consider when outfitting a new restaurant or replacing your old melamine dinnerware.
Solid Colors
These melamine dinnerware lines are mostly solid colors, making them versatile options for using on their own, with complementary solids, or as accents to some of the patterned lines covered below.
Texas Blue
The Texas Blue line is a dark navy blue, speckled with white in a manner reminiscent of vintage enamelware. Its resemblance to those pieces, associated with cowboys and often used in modern camping gear, makes this pattern suited for western- or rustic-themed restaurants.
Kentucky Green
Kentucky Green is similar to the Texas Blue line in that it also has the white speckled pattern, but on a dark green background. This series can stand alone or be used as part of a set with the Texas Blue pattern. Plates, bowls, mugs, and platters are all available in this color.
Black Elegance
As its name suggests, items in this line are solid black. These plates, bowls, and cups have a shiny finish and a neutral color that make them elegant additions to almost any dinnerware set. The dark color allows food to stand out, creating a striking presentation especially when brightly colored foods are served.
Urban Mill
Urban Mill's design is meant to give it a handmade appearance and the line is made in rustic colors. This series' coupe styles and irregular shapes, combined with the crafted appearance of the dishes, provide the aesthetics of earthenware without the weight and fragility. That makes it a logical choice for restaurants focused on local, organic, or farm-to-table foods.
Key West Dinnerware
This brightly colored line of dinnerware features a white interior and bright blue, green, or orange exteriors. Key West bowls are squared or circular with rims at steep angles. The bright colors and unusual shapes of the Key West line make it a fun option for restaurants with tropical themes.
Red Sensation
The Red Sensation pattern is a deep red, with darker red speckled across the surface. The bold color works well in Asian restaurants, as well as pizzerias and some cafés. Red Sensation plates and platters are available in circular and rectangular shapes, some of which have a ribbed texture. The bowls are all rounded, some with even rims and others with angled rims.
Patterns
Whether it's simple set of colors on the rims or more intricate artwork, these patterned melamine dishes bring some personality to your restaurant's tabletop.
Cambridge
The Cambridge pattern of melamine dinnerware is a versatile design, mostly white with black-and-gray-striped rims. The neutral wide gray bands enable the design to fit in easily with a wide range of décor and frame the white centers where food is plated.
Garden
The Garden line of GET melamine includes dinnerware with white bodies and patterns of red and yellow flowers inside black-lined borders along the edge of each bowl, plate, and platter. The elegant series fits in well at Asian restaurants and is a great choice for restaurateurs looking to add a touch of formality to their dinner services without the higher costs of china. Plates, platters, and bowls are available, as are coordinating ladles and spatulas.
Portofino
The Portofino pattern includes melamine plates and bowls with white centers and two rings of color around their exteriors: a broad green stripe on the interior circled by a thinner maroon stripe. Unsurprisingly, as they are named after a village in Italy, these plates are a great option for Italian restaurants.
Chexers
Cafeterias and diners alike may benefit from the addition of the Chexers pattern to their tabletops. This pattern is mostly white, with a black checkered border similar to a racetrack flag. The simple two-tone design means solid black and white dishes alike can be used alongside the Chexers pattern.
Contemporary
The Contemporary pattern is one of the few that are asymmetrical. Abstract lines of color - including blue, purple, green, and pink - topped with orange specks, cross the white plates, bowls, and accessories. This pattern also features some untraditional shapes, such as a circular plate with a scalloped rim and a half-moon plate.
Celebration
Celebration is a colorful pattern, featuring dinnerware that appears to have been painted with blue, green, orange, and yellow. This brightly colored pattern includes plates, platters, and bowls of various sizes, enabling you to bring pops of color to your tabletops.
