Glassware

How to choose the right Commercial Glassware

• Match glass types to your drinks menu, from wine and beer to cocktails, shots, desserts and hot beverages.
• Select capacities that suit standard measures and serves, helping staff pour accurately and control costs.
• Consider durability needs, choosing toughened or plastic glasses for busy bars, terraces and event use.
• Balance style and branding with classic, vintage or contemporary designs that fit your venue look.
• Check storage space and bar layout to decide on stemmed vs tumblers, stackable options and glass hangers.
• Plan for volume of service by choosing pack sizes and ranges that are easy to replace and expand.

Care and maintenance

• Use a commercial glasswasher or suitable cycle with the correct detergent and rinse aid for clear, streak-free results.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as moving glasses directly from freezer to hot wash, to reduce risk of breakage.
• Handle by the stem or base and avoid over-stacking to protect rims and maintain presentation quality.
• Inspect regularly for chips, cracks or clouding and remove damaged items from service immediately.
• Use non-abrasive cloths or microfiber towels for polishing to prevent micro-scratches and dulling.
• Store glasses upright or on appropriate hangers to aid drainage, airflow and quick access during busy service.
