Olympia Cafe Coupe Plate 205mm (Box of 12)

A common starting point is three to four times your seated cover count to allow for plates in use, in the wash, and in reserve. For a 30-cover operation, three boxes of twelve would give you a working stock of 36, which is workable for a single sitting but tight if you are turning tables quickly. It is worth factoring in breakage over time and ordering a small buffer from the outset.

Yes, stoneware is generally compatible with commercial dishwasher cycles. As with all coloured glazed tableware, using the correct detergent dosing and avoiding overly abrasive wash cycles will help preserve the glaze finish over time.

At 205mm this is best used as a side plate, bread plate, or starter plate rather than a main course plate. The Olympia Cafe Coupe range includes larger plate sizes, so if you need a consistent look across a full cover it is worth reviewing the wider range to ensure the sizes work together for your menu.
