Elevate the beverages you enjoy at home with restaurant quality drinkware.  Can you buy the same selection of glasses bars and restaurants use?  You bet!  But like dinnerware designed for foodservice, buying restaurant glassware for home is a little different. Let us explain.

Can you buy dinnerware designed for restaurants and bars?  Yes, you can.  And you should.  How you buy dishes designed for foodservice is a little different, though.  We are here to help. 

The recipe for salad is simple. Start with greens. Nope, more greens. Add vegetables and fruit, toss in some grains, power up with protein, dress it well and garnish with flavour and texture. 

You don’t need to be a chef to make a great salad. But using the same salad making tools the professionals use sure can help.  Remember these tools were designed to stand up to the repeated use of restaurant kitchens so they can surely handle your kitchen needs.

Buying bartending tools the professionals use makes sense. Commercial bar tools and supplies are designed to withstand the repeated use of a busy restaurant or bar. If they can do that, they certainly stand up to occasional bartending at your house. And guess what? Professional bar tools are often less expensive. 

Many tools that bartenders use increase efficiency, quality and consistency of their liquid libations and although that isn’t important to most home bar keeps, using them regularly will certainly mix up your drink game. Here’s a primer for what home bar essentials you should consider having on hand to serve your favorite cocktails. 

Although your home may not use flatware as frequently as a restaurant (unless you have teenagers, then you might), your table still deserves the same quality foodservice flatware.   

Your forks, spoons and knives get up close and personal with you, your family and friends on a daily basis.  Choosing them deserves the same care and attention you gave the dinnerware, drinkware, linens and décor choices of your eating spaces.

But with all the choices, how do you know which one? Our flatware buying guide will tell you what you need to know. And how it’s a bit different buying foodservice flatware for home.
