Our Expert Tip: Personalised Plates for a Strong Brand Presence

"Personalised plates make your hospitality concept truly unique. Using a high-quality on-glaze technique, logos, lettering or individual motifs can be permanently applied to porcelain. Unlike many other decoration processes, the design is firmly bonded with the glaze and offers outstanding durability in demanding professional environments. This creates a consistent brand identity and ensures strong recognition value among your guests."

What to Consider When Buying Commercial Plates

Several factors matter when purchasing tableware and plates for restaurants and hotels:

Dishwasher-safe: In everyday hospitality operations, dishwasher-safe plates are indispensable. Most of the plates in the LUSINI range can be cleaned in commercial dishwashers.
Stability: In high-volume settings, professional plates must be sturdy and robust. Toughened glass and melamine plates are especially resilient.
Microwave-safe: Practical when dishes need to be reheated quickly and directly on the plate.
Food safety: All plates at LUSINI are tested in accordance with EU Regulation 1935/2004.
Stackability: For efficient storage in professional kitchens, commercial plates should be stackable.

What Is a Plate with a Rim?

The rim (also known as the plate rim or flag) refers to the flat or slightly sloped outer area of a plate that surrounds the inner section – the so-called well or eating surface. The rim is therefore a distinct area between the well and the plate edge. Depending on the model, the rim can be narrow or wide. Plates without a pronounced rim – for example modern, minimalist designs – often have a flowing transition between the well and the edge.

Plates for the Hospitality Industry – The Most Important Materials

Depending on your area of use and service concept, restaurant plates are available in a variety of materials. Find the right models for your business now.

Porcelain Plates – The Classic Choice for Commercial Plates

Porcelain is the classic material for plates in the hospitality and hotel sector. It is hard-wearing, taste-neutral and dishwasher-safe. This makes porcelain plates ideal for fine-dining concepts as well as everyday use in hotels or canteens. For more information on the material, take a look at our porcelain guide.

Bone China – Premium-Quality Porcelain

Commercial plates made of bone china are delicate, thin-walled and translucent white. Despite its refined appearance, bone china is highly durable and dishwasher-safe. Due to its higher price, this type of porcelain is mainly used in fine-dining restaurants. You will find more information on bone china in our magazine.

Stoneware Plates for a Rustic and Cosy Look

Restaurant plates made of stoneware have a distinctive appearance and fit perfectly into modern hospitality concepts, for example in the Scandinavian interior style. Read more about the material in our magazine article "What is stoneware".
