The Olympia Kristallon rectangular tray is a straightforward polypropylene serving tray designed for cafeteria-style food service, canteens, fast food counters, and staff restaurants. It is intended for front-of-house use where customers or service staff carry meals and drinks from a service counter to a table or seating area. It is available in eight colours: black, blue, brown, charcoal, green, grey, red and white.

Polypropylene is a practical choice for this kind of application. It is lightweight enough to handle comfortably when loaded, resists staining from everyday food and drink contact, and holds up well to the repeated handling and stacking that comes with high-turnover service. The textured surface provides a degree of grip that helps reduce the risk of items sliding during transit, a small but useful feature in a busy self-service environment.

From an operational standpoint, trays like this suit settings where speed of service and ease of management matter most. Key practical points include:

Textured surface reduces sliding of crockery and cups during service
Polypropylene construction wipes clean quickly and tolerates regular use
Lightweight for comfortable carrying when fully loaded
Stackable design supports efficient storage behind the counter
Eight colours make it easy to colour-code service areas or tray types

There are no installation requirements to consider. These trays stack flat and store easily in tray dispensers or on open shelving. For very high-volume operations running continuous self-service, it is worth considering how many trays you need in rotation to avoid a bottleneck during peak periods.

This tray is well suited to canteens, school dining rooms, hospital cafeterias, and fast food or grab-and-go operations. If you require a larger tray format, or need advice on colours for allergen or dietary zoning, it is worth having a conversation with us to make sure you are ordering the right size and quantity for your setup.

Frequently asked questions

How many trays should I order for a busy cafeteria service?

A good rule of thumb is to have enough trays in rotation to cover your peak seating capacity, plus a buffer for trays in transit or being cleaned. For a cafeteria serving 100 covers at a sitting, operators typically keep 120 to 150 trays available to avoid a bottleneck at the service counter. If you are unsure about the right quantity for your setup, we are happy to advise.

Are these trays suitable for use in a dishwasher?

Polypropylene trays of this type are generally compatible with commercial dishwashers, though prolonged exposure to very high wash temperatures can cause warping over time. We would recommend checking your dishwasher's cycle temperatures if tray longevity is a concern, and we can help clarify compatibility if needed.

Can these trays be used for allergen or dietary zoning with a colour-coded system?

Yes. This tray is available in eight colours: black, blue, brown, charcoal, green, grey, red and white, so you can assign a colour to each zone or dietary requirement. If you need advice on setting up a colour-coded system, we are happy to help.
