The Table Is Set

Modern tableware is inspiring and beautiful and is becoming a conversation starter at hotels even as they are ensuring it is both unique and functional

- Bindu Gopal Rao

Every hotel has its own unique story, which they need to showcase through all elements of the hotel that carry an identity of the brand, to show continuity of the story, and to maintain the brand's standards.

DO THE NEW

Tableware has evolved over the years, from classic clean round plated to ceramics for all kinds of cuisines used throughout the hotel across different food and beverage outlets and in-room dining to the now different concept-driven tableware for different outlets. Sudhir Ahuja, Managing Director, Beyzaa Hotel & Suites, says, "Dining is an experience, and chefs tell a story with their creations. Beyzaa means white, simple, serene, pleasant, and stylish, with a touch of red (adding class to the elements. of Beyzaa). Hence, the accessories, tableware, cutlery, and crockery play an important part in defining hotel standards and guest expectations and setting us apart from our competition. Our experience tells us that minute details are what the customer remembers. We have worked on accessories in the hotel - tableware, coffee mugs, the room table accessories, cutlery, cutlery, personalised glassware, the no-smoking tags, and complimentary cookies, 'come in, eat me' tags; enticing the guest to give it a try. At our restaurant Motor Works, cutlery is customised as per the name. For the Brewing Company, the coasters we use for service of beer and other alcohol are cork coasters the same material used to cork bottles, showcasing how carefully we have selected all small ingredients which make the story of MWBC." Corelle, WMF, Luzerne, Oneida, Art Evo, Narumi, Arthur Krupp, Villeroy & Boch, and Noritake are some of the leading tableware manufacturers and are constantly into product innovation to improve their market position.
