When we think of making our hospitality sector a presentable one, our focus is mainly on big things like wallpapers, furniture, curtains etc. We just tend to overlook smaller facts like cutlery set or napkins can have on vibes of our guests. Having right cutlery set is very indispensable for our dining corner especially when we are dealing with customers who want to have true experience while they are dining out home. To make our meal impressive not only the type of food and service that is vital but also the class of cutlery set and the way of its setting has a long lasting effect. It make customer feel that they are being taken care off. So to put our hotel at a reputed place geometry, symmetry, colour, design of cutleries has lasting effects.

Few care while adding cutlery to our catering service can zoom up our business.

Purpose of Purchase: Choice of our cutlery collection lot depends on the set up for which we are going to buy. When we think of buying catering cutlery we need to think first about where it need to be used whether it is a hotel, restaurant, cafes or other catering services. Choosing should blend with establishment.

Right weight and balance: High-quality cutlery should have a good feel of weight and balance when held in hand. It should be appealing as well. Bottom heavy knife that always fall or spoon with deep well that make difficult to eat can negate our service.

Matching with table: Balance of element on table like height and size proportion to table is also important. Table should not clutter with many items. Cutleries should ratio with space and size leaving enough space for diners’ movement.

Choice of colour and design: This area has wide scope. But some colour goes with every occasion. For eg. White porcelains, glassware or gold and silver plated cutleries are usually preferred by anyone. Now days brown, rust, organic feel handcrafts are also taking leap. Use of natural material like wooden material add flavor to the glamour.

Multiple use suiting budget: Looking for product that have multiple uses and that stand up washing system or are less likely to mark and scratches can make purchase cost saving. At the same time qualities should not be mixed up. For eg. Buying high budget glassware and compromising on crockery can mismatch the show.

Cutlery for special need: Usually we focus on cutlery that allow service food in a professional manner but centering our thought to disabled cutleries that are designed for disabled or elderly who have restricted hand movement can make us stand ahead of the crowd. Focusing on proper storage cutlery which stores our cutleries when not in use will help in improving our service better.

Market Trend: It is equally necessary to freshen to the mood of market. Identifying the target market and fulfilling to its need and expectation bring us to demand. At the same time replacing all cutleries to suit the market can be expensive. So in that case picking few stylish collections and adding it to the existing one can be a better choice.

Thus to enhance guest experience, improve their loyalty and return visit, proper choice of cutlery set is of utmost importance.
