Serving Dishes for Showcases

Serving Dishes for Showcases are an essential element in any bar or café confectionery and product display — with the right dishes, the product looks more appealing, the showcase appears neater and more professional, and the customer finds it easier to make a purchase decision when seeing the product in a good presentation. BHS offers Serving Dishes for Showcases to HoReCa businesses across Europe.

Description of Serving Dishes for Showcases

Serving Dishes for Showcases differ from ordinary storage dishes in their visual and functional features. Aesthetic appearance — dishes are made from porcelain, ceramic, glass or high-quality plastic with a clean, elegant design that acts as a background for food in the showcase. Various depths — shallow dishes (20–30 mm) for thin cake slices and layered pastries, medium-depth dishes (50–65 mm) for displaying confectionery and canapés. Transparent lid — some models come with transparent lids that protect the product from contamination while maintaining visual accessibility for the customer. Different colours — white, black or neutral dishes as a background for the product; coloured ceramic to match the establishment's visual identity. Hygienic material — food-contact approved material with a smooth surface that is easy to clean. BHS helps select the most suitable serving dishes based on the type and concept of the showcase.

Where to use Serving Dishes for Showcases

Serving Dishes for Showcases are essential in HoReCa businesses with a product showcase in the customer-facing area. Café with a confectionery showcase — serving dishes for cake slices, pastries, muffins and tarts for an attractive display in a chilled or unheated showcase. Cocktail bar or lounge bar — serving dishes for canapés and small food displays in the counter area. Hotel breakfast or lobby café — serving dishes for confectionery displays at the buffet station for hotel guests. Sweet shop or chocolate café — aesthetic serving dishes for premium sweets and truffle showcase displays. Grocery store or delicatessen — serving dishes for displaying various product categories in the counter showcase.

Cleaning and hygiene

Proper cleaning of Serving Dishes for Showcases ensures a hygienic product presentation. Daily cleaning — dishes should be washed every day after the showcase is closed; food residues can attract bacteria and damage the dish surface. Dishwasher compatibility — most porcelain and high-quality plastic dishes are suitable for dishwasher cleaning; check the manufacturer's instructions. Surface inspection — regularly check dishes for scratches or cracks that can harbour bacteria and affect the aesthetic appearance. Storage — store dishes on a clean shelf, without stacking them with other kitchenware. Product rotation — regularly replace serving dishes with fresh ones, not keeping the same dish with a product for longer than the specified HACCP time limit.
