It's ALL in the Presentation
|
|
|
|
|
It’s no secret that customers eat with their eyes as well as their mouths, so looks are definitely important.
Arrange plates with an eye to color—grilled fish, rice pilaf and creamed onions may taste great, but together they are a field of white on the plate. Swapping out verdant green broccoli and skin-on red potatoes is better. Encrusting the fish or decorating the plate rim with a colorful sauce or spice is “platescaping” at its best.
In addition, there are service points that make for a more dramatic presentation:
•Satisfy do-it-yourselfers with sauce and condiments on the side, portioned into an eye-catching accent piece
•Bring soup to the table in a small tureen or pitcher, to ladle or pour (carefully!) into a waiting bowl, which might already contain a garnish
•An attractive carafe of ice water can be left on the table; lemon slices are a nice touch
•Add signature appeal to an entrée or dessert by spooning out sauce from a sauceboat
 Tableware, glassware and accessories that are selected with these points in mind will enhance value and the overall dining experience. For more information about our products lines, email us at: sales@cardinalglass.com

Look Your Best with Accessories and Holloware

Attractive tableware is an inviting canvas for presentation creativity, especially when you select pieces that have been designed to enhance the beauty of food and to support a variety of presentation styles.  Accessories such as small bowls, dishes and even Chinese-style soup spoons are perfect for sauces and garnishes served “on the side.” The full line of Arcoroc Gourmet items features a number of pieces that are on-target with contemporary presentations trends, sleek yet functional in glass and porcelain, allowing them to mix and match with existing dinnerware. Arcoroc Stack Bowls are appropriate for casual concepts, while pieces in the new Arcoroc Versatile and Appetizer lines say “upscale.”
 Arcoroc decanters, carafes and pitchers are attractive enough to be left on the table, and some of the smaller ones, such as Arcoroc Carafe in the half-liter size, can pull double-duty for serving gazpacho or other cold soups directly to the customer.
 The line of Chef & Sommelier Alizea Holloware features a number of pieces that can add drama, including several sizes of pitchers, trays, and sauceboats. A small barware pitcher or teapot can be used for serving soup. For a really upscale flourish, domed service lids can be whisked off when the entrée is presented.
And don’t forget the Chef & Sommelier soup and sauce ladles, service spoons, cake servers and other items for tableside service.

Tips & Tactics
Service for Two...or More
Serving a single menu item to a party of two or more is picking up steam as a signature strategy and a way to add value to low-food-cost items like paella, baked pasta, or a whole roast chicken. Oversize bowls/platters from Arcoroc Opal Reception
are perfect for shareable salads, while the beautiful cake and fruit stands in the Alizea Holloware group can also be used for pizza and attractive platters of oysters and raw bar items.
