The decision making process for a restaurant glassware seems like it would be an easy process, but a more detailed examination could save you thousands of dollars in glassware costs over the year. Over looking the importance of getting the glassware right for your customer could cost you even more in potential revenue.The glassware you chose for your restaurant says volumes about the restaurant and the customers you want to attract.
Choosing the right restaurant glassware is a delicate balancing act between style, functionality and cost. As fine crystal stemware does not fit into a sports bar setting, an all purpose wine glass has no business in a fine dining setting.
The cost side of the equation has to be filtered in as well. The type of customer and the atmosphere of your establishment will also dictate what type of glassware you need to focus on. There is a huge difference in the sturdiness and durability of a wine glass for Riedel than that of one from Libby. If you are that sports bar with Riedel crystal I would venture to guess that your business is not long for this world, and if you’re a five star fine dinning restaurant with Libby all purpose wine glass on the table start counting those stars now because they wont be yours for long.
If you establishment has a clientele that would expect a higher level of service you will also need to take a look at how to
chose the right wine glasses

“The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect of these glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make.”(Robert M.Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate)
