The look and the atmosphere are two fairly important factors for a business. Especially when it comes to restaurants. In which, to preserve these factors usually have a direct effect in terms of shop’s spending. Nowadays, many restaurants have to find ways to maintain the utensils or glassware so that they can be used for a long time. However, one of the most difficult things to maintain care is a ‘glass’. Imagine beer glass or wine glass, these are very delicate and fragile making it hard to take care of. Therefore, you should start learning about how to maintain different types of glass to be able to use it far longer. Please read on to learn more.
Be careful of the edge: The Most Fragile Part
The most delicate and fragile part of the glass is their edge. Especially if it hits a hard surface or is impacted violently while the staff is pouring water causing the bottle to hit the edge. The best way is to be careful while pouring drinks and pay attention to the way a staff would hold a glass and bottle.
You should not collect all of the glasses together. When putting it away, keep the glasses facing up!
Normally when it is time for the staff to come and clean the table and put away the glasses, most stores tend to stack glasses up to save time and space. But, this method is a bad way to collect them. Aside from causing the stacked glass to become damp, stacking glasses may also make it easier to break the glass. Because the texture of each glass is different if combined, it may cause the hard glass to affect the softer glass. Sometimes when the glass is stacked up for too long it will cause vacuum, trapping air inside the glass. In which, causing the glass surface to stick together. Furthermore, this may be the cause of the accident when glass is picked up for use as well.
Pour the drink in first before putting in the ice cube this will prevent any damage
In most restaurants the staff would put in the ice cube before pouring in the drinks so that it is easier to estimate the amount needed. However, this is the mistake you shouldn’t make. By putting in the ice cube first the ice would directly contact the glass. Therefore, to make the glassware last longer. Another common mistake is using the glass to scoop up ice. This is a ‘no, no’ situation, by doing that could cause the glass to break and it will be hard to get rid of the glass pieces out of the ice bucket.

How to keep the glass sparkling clean?
After a long time, glassware usually gets a bit cloudy, not as sparkling as before. This would affect your restaurant’s overall appearance when the drink is served for customers, so this should be avoided at all costs! However, it is not as easy for the staff to clean the cloudy glass.
The reason for it to get dull is because the scale slag in the water had direct contact with the glass. To get rid of the problem is to leave the glass in warm water diluted with vinegar overnight. Then, wash off with the dishwasher.
Clean the glass individually for cleanliness and preventing possible damage
Each shop uses a lot of glasses each day, washing it all at once may cause problems. For example, as a cleaner puts many glasses in the water, hoping that all the glasses will be thoroughly clean inside is impossible because each glass has a different surface. If you want your glass to be sparkling clear, washing glasses one by one is a must. Moreover, if a huge amount of glasses are put into the sink, this would cause damage causing you to spend more money buying new stock. Also, you should not put utensils, knives or metal utensils into the glass before washing. Because these equipment always have the smell of savory food. It may be harder to get rid of the smell.
Glassware has its purpose. Do not pour hot drink into a glass for cold drink.
Each glass is designed for a different purpose and it can obtain a certain temperature depending on the material. So, to preserve both the taste and the glass itself, it is best to use the glass accordingly to its purpose. For instance, if you pour in hot coffee in a normal glass, the high temperature could cause the glass to be fractured.
