GLASSWARE CARE

HOW TO CARE FOR GLASSWARE

Always remember that glassware is extremely sensitive to temperature changes, therefore, always allow your glassware to reach room temperature before using. Also avoid glass to glass contact, which includes the following:

Mechanical Impact

Whether it be a beer tap, silverware, or another glass, constant contact will cause invisible abrasions to occur, which will weaken the glass and increase the chance of breakage.

Thermal Shock

Sudden temperature changes produce stress in glass and can cause breakage. Therefore, glassware must be allowed to reach room temperature before placement in service.

• Avoid picking up a ‘cluster’ of glassware
• Do not stack glassware
• Never overload the bus tray with glassware inside
• Never insert silverware into glassware.
• Never scoop ice from the machine or bucket using the glassware
• Do not let beer tap come in contact with the glassware
