Hospitality Connect stocks 49 melamine servingware pieces for buffets, function catering, cafes, clubs and aged care dining. The range covers serving trays, serving bowls, platters and gastronorm sized serveware that drops into standard buffet frames. Chef Inox and Evelin are the main brands stocked.
Melamine is chosen for display service because it is lighter than ceramic or stone and less prone to chipping when a full platter is handled. Shape follows the food, so round platters suit shared plates and grazing, rectangular trays suit a straight buffet line, and deeper bowls hold salads and dressed dishes. Gastronorm sized pieces matter when you are filling an existing buffet or bain marie frame, because the footprint has to match. Finish is the last decision, with marble and solid colour looks in the range.
