Choosing your plates

Which material for which use?

Porcelain offers a refined presentation and good durability, suited to table service. Tempered glass, offered by Arcoroc and Chef & Sommelier, resists impacts and suits high-throughput venues. Stoneware brings a more contemporary look. Check the stacking and dishwasher resistance shown on each product sheet.

Which diameter should you plan for?

Diameter depends on the type of service and the space available. Large formats showcase fine-dining plating, while standard diameters make storage and high-volume service easier. Refer to the dimensions specified on each product.

Single units or sets?

Sets suit equipping a venue or renewing a complete service, while single-unit sales allow you to complete an existing inventory. Both formats are available depending on the reference. For a consistent service, you can rely on a complete range such as Modulo, the best-selling one, Pillivuyt's Collection Générale, Lys or Elegance.

Stackable and durable for catering?

For hospitality use, favour stackable models reinforced against chipping, such as those in the professional ranges. Check intensive dishwasher compatibility on the product sheet.
