Plates & platters

Your lovingly cooked dishes only come into their own when they are served on a beautiful plate or platter. As varied as the menus in hotels and restaurants in Switzerland are, so too is the selection of plates that you can set on your tables. Find high-quality and decorative catering plates and platters in our store to pamper your guests and give them a few pleasant hours with a real culinary experience.

The basic equipment in every restaurant includes stylish crockery plates in various sizes on which the food can be presented attractively. You should buy plates that match your gastronomic orientation and menu. In the Banholzer online store, you will find a selection of all types of catering plates that you need to serve your guests.

Place plates are also used in upmarket restaurants. These are not plates in the classic sense, but rather a decorative element on the table that is intended to create an elegant overall impression. Place plates are usually larger than conventional dinner plates and serve as a base or foundation for other plates and bowls. They are often set for festive occasions and upscale events to transform a table into a festive table.

Similar to the plates for the private kitchen, design, functionality and suitability for everyday use are also key when selecting plates for the professional sector. The style and design of the plates should match the overall aesthetics of the restaurant. Whether classic, modern, rustic or minimalist - the plates should reflect the desired ambience and character of the establishment and fit harmoniously into the overall concept. In addition, features such as stackability are important for lean and efficient processes, as stackable plates save space and make it easier to store and access the dishes.

Pay attention to the weight of the plates. Light plates take the strain off the service staff, who often bring the dishes to the table with one hand. It is also important that the plates are dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe to enable efficient cleaning and reheating of the food. In our store, we only offer you high-quality plates from well-known brands that impress with their durability and resistance. When selecting dishes, we make sure that they can withstand daily use and do not break or scratch easily.

Platters make it easier to arrange and serve food on a buffet or for festive occasions. Platters are usually used for serving finger food and side dishes, which guests can remove individually. However, main courses are also presented on larger platters. Serving platters are indispensable for caterers, who can deliver their food to the customer ready to serve on a decorative serving platter.

You can find these plates in decorative designs in our store:

In addition, serving pans are often used to serve dishes hot and fresh at the guest's table. These pans are ideal for live cooking events, but also for keeping food warm on the buffet.

In professional catering, porcelain plates are usually used because they are best able to meet both aesthetic and everyday practical requirements. Porcelain exudes elegance and sophistication. It gives every table setting a sophisticated and stylish ambience - in keeping with your catering business.

Porcelain plates are known for their durability. They are resistant to scratches, stains and daily wear and tear. With the right care and handling, porcelain plates can last for many years and retain their original beauty. Porcelain is a heat-resistant material that can withstand high temperatures without breaking or otherwise being damaged. Porcelain plates can therefore be used safely for serving hot food and heating in the microwave. Very good heat conduction also plays an important role when serving food. The material can maintain the temperature of the food served for longer, which is particularly advantageous for hot and fresh dishes.

Porcelain is a food-safe material that does not release any harmful substances. It does not affect the taste or smell of food and is therefore a safe choice for use in the catering industry. Finally, porcelain plates are relatively easy to clean. As a rule, they can simply be cleaned in the dishwasher.

In the Banholzer online store you will find a very large and varied selection of porcelain plates from well-known manufacturers.

In addition to the classic porcelain plates, you will also find exclusive glass plates in our range. Glass plates are often used to present exquisite dishes, particularly in fine dining establishments. Glass plates are also used at special events, weddings, banquets or gala dinners to emphasize the festive character of the event. They add an elegant and luxurious touch to the dishes.

In modern and avant-garde cuisine, chefs like to use unconventional forms of presentation. Glass plates are ideal for showcasing culinary creations. As glass is much more delicate than porcelain, it is often only used selectively and not on a large scale. Find a selection of glass plates in many creative designs in our gastro store to impress your guests in every way.
