TOP 3 REASONS WHY GLASS BREAKS

1

which are not designed
to be stacked

2

when ice is added to a glass
that has not reached room
temperature after washing

3

caused by minute abrasions from
contact with foreign objects
such as cutlery and muddlers

Correct storage, handling, washing and service can minimise breakage
and keep your glassware looking its best.

Rinse glasses as soon as possible after use and don't leave them soiled for long periods
Use dishwasher racks designed for commercial use
Stack glassware away from dinnerware and cutlery
Ensure glasses don't come in contact with each other in glass racks

Make sure glasses are at room temperature before using them, unless they're for serving hot beverages, in which case gently heat them first
Pour ice into glasses using plastic scoops
Keep glasses clear of taps and dispensers

Make sure glassware is sparkling and without smudging before serving
Never serve chipped or cracked glassware for safety reasons
Avoid collecting more than one glass at a time to avoid glasses clashing with each other
Hold glasses by the stem whether polishing or pouring

Always store glassware in plastic, compartmentalised racks
Make sure glasses don't touch at either the base or rim
Don't stack glasses on top of each other unless they're in racks designed to do so
Don't store glasses until they've cooled
