MODERN

MODERN cutlery for restaurants — the choice of cutlery is an important part of a restaurant’s identity; it is one of the first elements a customer notices when sitting down at the table. The clean design of the MODERN series creates a professional and contemporary impression that matches the aesthetics of most modern restaurants.

Design and aesthetics of the MODERN series

MODERN cutlery for restaurants — the MODERN series is designed with clean, contemporary shapes. Minimalist design — smooth, unadorned details; straight or slightly curved forms; no intricate ornaments or relief patterns; suitable for restaurants designed in a modern or Scandi style. Surface finish — matte (brushed) or polished stainless steel surface; the matte finish looks more modern and hides fingerprints; the polished finish is more classic and easier to clean; see CITY cutlery. Weight and balance — the weight of MODERN accessories is tailored to restaurant needs; sufficient weight conveys a sense of solidity; good balance in the hand ensures comfortable use. Universal suitability — the MODERN series looks good on both white and coloured tablecloths; suitable for restaurants in various price segments.

MODERN series set and types of accessories

MODERN cutlery for restaurants — the MODERN series offers a complete set of table accessories for different serving scenarios. Table accessories — table knife, table fork, table spoon; the classic three-piece set; for serving the main course. Dessert and appetizer accessories — dessert knife, dessert fork, dessert spoon; smaller in size; for serving appetizers or desserts; see EBRO cutlery. Drink accessories — tea spoon, coffee spoon; smaller spoons for hot drinks. Soup accessories — soup spoon with a deeper oval or round part. Serving accessories — serving spoon and fork; cheese knife; other special accessories may also be available.

Stainless steel quality and durability

MODERN cutlery for restaurants — the quality of stainless steel is the main indicator of the durability and appearance of the accessories. Steel grades — AISI 18/10 (18% chromium, 10% nickel) or 18/0 are used for restaurant accessories; 18/10 is more resistant to corrosion and retains its shine longer; 18/0 is a more economical option. Nitrogen alloying — some high-end accessories are nitrogen-alloyed (N), which increases resistance to corrosion in aggressive environments (such as in restaurants near the sea or in environments with high lemon content); see Restaurant Cutlery. Dishwasher resistance — high-quality 18/10 accessories withstand dishwasher cleaning without signs of corrosion or dulling; low-quality accessories may discolour or corrode after a few washes. Shine retention — a sign of quality is the retention of shine after prolonged use and washing.

Purchasing and planning cutlery for a restaurant

MODERN cutlery for restaurants — planning the right quantity is important to ensure uninterrupted service. Number of accessories based on seating — standard: 3–4 sets per seat; allows the dishwasher to cycle while other accessories are on the table or being washed. Reserve sets — 20–30% reserve for breakage and loss; accessories regularly get lost or wear out; see CITY cutlery. Ordering by item or in sets — for many restaurants, it is useful to order by item, as some types of accessories wear out faster (tea spoons, table knives); BHS enables flexible ordering.
