When you run any sort of catering business, whether it is a restaurant, hotel, or outside catering business, one of the most important things that you have to take into account is how to store, wash, dry, and move your catering equipment – cups, plates, saucers, glasses of all sizes, mugs, cutlery, and more – without losing anything or suffering from damage.

Let’s face it: when you indulge – if that’s the right word! – in any form of catering, you have to move large quantities of equipment, and you also have to wash it, dry it, store it, and maybe transport it on an ongoing basis.

This is the part that the end customers don’t see. They don’t even think about it, and why should they? They are just sitting down for their meal, buying a drink, or whatever, and that is all they are interested in. They don’t care how you go about the washing up afterwards, or how you got the beer glasses to the festival in the first place. That’s your problem.

At Caterbox we supply a huge choice of different storage and transport boxes for catering equipment together with dishwasher boxes and baskets that will take care of all your cutlery, glassware, plate, cup, mug, and other requirements. Whatever you need to do with your catering equipment, we have a solution for it.  

For example, if you need to store, transport, or wash cutlery, we have the answer. Maybe you just need a single cutlery basket in which you can place cutlery for washing in the dishwasher, or maybe you need more room. If it is the latter case, we can supply a four-compartment basket, or the Classeq ware washer cutlery basket which has eight compartments. 

Then there is our 500mm x 500mm dishwasher basket for cutlery which has an open profile design which ensures perfect washing and rinsing along with quick drying times. This basket is designed to pass through both conveyor dishwashers and commercial dishwashers, and you can also use it for housing our dishwasher plate racks

So, why is the Fries Rack System the world-leading rack?

There’s no simple answer to this question, many factors support these fantastic glass racks claim to the title. As word of mouth is very important in the hospitality sector, where better place to start? Fries Racks have become the No. 1 choice of ware washing equipment in the European Catering and Event Industry. They’ve been recommended by the leading dishwasher manufactures Meiko, Classeq & Hobart as they outperform other racks on the market on every level.

After years of talking with our customers about the issues they face with conventual racks, we’ve gained a clear picture of why Fries Racks came out on top

For many years here at Yahire, we have stored, cleaned and transported our glasses in Correx glass boxes, these boxes are lightweight, fairly cheap to purchase, can be cleaned easily and stack well. The Correx boxes will last a number of years, but after regular use in a busy catering equipment hire company, they can start to weaken and become problematic. The handling time on these boxes can be quite long with these only suitable for storage and transporting and not for washing. Late in 2016 here at Yahire, we decided to invited Nik from Caterbox down to our warehouse to discuss how new dishwasher racks could improve our cleaning time, storage, image and cost in the long run.

After going through the pros and cons we decided to Invest in these new crates and have found them a great success so far. The advantages we have found with the new dishwasher racks are that they can be customised to various different sizes and fit nearly any glass very snug, which increases the number
