1. Prioritize Durability & Material Quality
In a high-traffic F&B setup, your tableware goes through daily use, repeated washing, and occasional mishandling. Choose crockery made of:
-
Ceramic stoneware – highly durable and resistant to chips and cracks
-
Microwave and dishwasher-safe material – for kitchen efficiency
-
Scratch-resistant glaze – to maintain appearance over time
2. Match Your Aesthetic & Cuisine
Your crockery should complement your interior theme and food plating style:
-
Rustic & earthy plates for continental or fusion cuisines
-
Minimalist white or matte tones for modern cafés
-
Bright, bold colors for casual or youth-oriented spaces
-
Traditional or floral designs for Indian or ethnic restaurants
3. Choose the Right Sizes & Formats
A professional setup requires functional diversity in crockery:
-
Dinner Plates (10–12 inch)
-
Quarter Plates
-
Soup & Dessert Bowls
-
Serving Platters
-
Side Bowls & Dip Dishes
Make sure your sets include all necessary components and can be reordered in bulk as your business grows.
4. Look for Easy Maintenance
Opt for crockery that is:
-
Stackable for easy storage
-
Stain-resistant for quick turnaround during service
-
Compatible with hot & cold dish presentations
5. Check for Safe Packaging & Delivery Support
Many restaurants face losses due to poor transit packaging when buying crockery online. At Shay, we use break-resistant packaging designed for bulk deliveries. Every order is carefully inspected and safely shipped across India, whether you're a boutique café or a 5-star property.
6. Work with Trusted Suppliers
It’s better to build a long-term relationship with a crockery partner who understands B2B needs, bulk pricing, and replenishment cycles.
Final Thoughts
The right crockery doesn't just serve food—it sets the mood, defines the experience, and reinforces your restaurant’s brand. Choose wisely, and your investment will pay off with satisfied guests and social media-worthy plating.
