Collection: Tablekraft Cutlery

Tablekraft is one of the most-used commercial cutlery brands in Australian hospitality — built specifically for restaurant and café service with consistent weight, dishwasher-tolerant 18/10 stainless and matching ranges that scale across hundreds of covers. Hospitality Connect carries the full Tablekraft restaurant cutlery range — Aero Dawn, Amalfi, and the wider commercial ranges — in box-of-12 trade packs.

What Tablekraft makes

• Aero Dawn: The everyday workhorse range. Light-medium weight, mirror finish, full place setting from teaspoon through table knife.
• Amalfi: Slightly heavier, more contemporary handle profile — chosen by venues wanting an elevated table feel without going to imported cutlery prices.
• Specialty pieces: Steak knives (round-tip and pointed), cake forks, cake servers, oyster forks, butter knives, soup spoons, coffee spoons.
• Pakkawood ranges: The Jumbo Round Tip Pakkawood steak knife set for upmarket steak service.

Choosing the right Tablekraft range

• Cafés and casual dining: Aero Dawn covers everything from breakfast service to dinner.
• Bistros and brasseries: Amalfi gives a slightly heavier hand-feel without significant cost step-up.
• Steak houses and grills: Add the Aero Dawn 235mm steak knife or Pakkawood handles to base settings.
• Functions and events: Buy in box-of-12 quantities and standardise on a single range to keep replacement and washing simple.

Specifying cutlery quantities

Industry rule of thumb: 2.5 to 3 settings per cover, accounting for service rotation, dishwasher cycles and breakage. A 100-seat restaurant should hold 250-300 of each piece. Don't under-order coffee spoons and steak knives — they're the pieces that end up in bin runs and need most frequent replacement.

Pair Tablekraft cutlery with

Australian commercial hospitality covers a broad spectrum — quick-service chains, casual dining, fine dining restaurants, function and event centres, pubs and clubs, cafés, bakeries, hotels, aged-care kitchens, hospital food service, school canteens, government catering and the corporate function market. The right specification varies by venue type. We've supplied equipment to all of these, and that experience helps us flag when a piece of equipment is right-sized or when a different model would suit your throughput better.

All standard SKUs in this collection ship from our Melbourne warehouse, with freight to most metropolitan areas in 1–3 business days. Heavy and oversized items are dispatched on tail-lift trucks for ground-level delivery. We coordinate dispatch around your install date so equipment arrives when the kitchen is ready for it, not weeks ahead when it sits in the way. Trade accounts get consolidated freight pricing across multiple line items.

Match the table with Tablekraft dinnerware, add Peugeot mills and hi-balls and tumblers for a consistent restaurant table look.

Cutlery care and longevity

• Pre-rinse before dishwashing: Acidic foods (lemon, tomato, dressing) etch 18/10 stainless if left between service and wash.
• Avoid chlorine bleach: Sodium hypochlorite causes pitting on stainless cutlery — use chlorine-free dishwasher chemicals.
• Align in dishwasher racks correctly: Cutlery cassettes — handles down for forks and spoons, up for knives — protect blade edges and reduce water spotting.
• Polish with a soft cloth: After washing, a quick polish removes water marks and presents better at table.
• Don't soak overnight in stainless basins: Galvanic reaction with the basin produces black marks — drain and dry.
