Strike Gold with Fine Silverware



There it was in all its splendid glory. The biggest, juiciest and most mouth-watering steak the customer had laid eyes on in quite a while. He’s about to eagerly cut into it when something catches his attention. The steak knife’s handle looks very distressed and worn out. So much, in fact, that it instantly distracts him away from what should have been an otherwise perfect dining experience*definitely not the kind of impression you wish to make on your customers. The steak knife should have complemented the main course, not diminished its appeal.

It’s no secret that the image of an eatery is enhanced not just by the right furniture, wall paint color, lighting, background music and overall décor. An elegant table setting with the right choice of flatware can speak volumes of a restaurant’s true character and your personal taste as the owner, manager or chef of the business.

When selecting the appropriate silverware for your eatery business, style, function, quality and durability are the most important factors. But who do you turn to for fine commercial flatware? You should look for a company with a solid reputation; a proven track record in the industry; a vast inventory of quality and durable silverware product lines and brands; and experienced salespeople who know their stuff. Sounds daunting? Not really, if you happen to make your first stop at Miami Restaurant Supplies.

Whether you’re shopping around for dinner forks, salad forks, oyster forks, dinner knives, steak knives, tablespoons, iced tea spoons, bouillon spoons, teaspoons, demitasse spoons, butter spreaders or serving pieces, Miami Restaurant Supplies can suit all your needs. And it does so while providing a personalized service, 40 years of experience in the industry, and an unsurpassed selection of modern, traditional, formal and casual flatware. Its roster of clients include restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, party rental companies, cafeterias, party planners and catering companies.

Browse Miami Restaurant Supplies’ website or drop by its North Miami location to place your order. Either way, you’ll be pleasantly impressed by its seemingly endless selection of brands and styles: Como, Lincoln, Parisian Gold, Pearl, Rope, Toulouse, Bamboo, Panther Link, Princeton, Bead, Continental, Dots, Dominion, Elite, Flute, Windsor, Houston, Lisa, Lafayette, Manhattan, Shangarila, Regency, Stanford, Winston… the list goes on and on. Plus, Miami Restaurant Supplies offers medium weight, heavyweight and extra heavyweight stainless steel options as well as mirror finishes.

Silverware should never be a deal breaker but rather a deal maker. So it makes perfect sense to put Miami Restaurant Supplies at the top of your shopping list. With its expertise, experienced staff and affordable prices, you can actually strike gold by improving your eatery’s traffic and profits.

The Party Never Stops with the Right Plates


Are you dreaming of a green Christmas? You know, the one with lots of clients knocking on your business’ door and lots of green stashed in your cash register? Who wouldn’t? After all, the holidays are just around the corner and every restaurant, hotel, catering business, and party planner could use a much needed boost to end this challenging year with a bang.

But how can you help to make it happen? You would think that just by offering great food, competitive prices and a quality service, clients would flock to your business. But a quick and objective look at your dinnerware selection, specially your party plates, might give you a clue as to why you might not be winning over many new clients despite all your best efforts. Let’s call it the “blah” factor: that dull, worn out or run of the mill look that characterizes outdated party plates. The party plates that once had that shiny new glow to them, now just seem in dire need of excitement and allure.




Enter Miami Restaurant Supplies with its inspiring collection of cool party plates for finger buffets and cocktails. Round or square, party plates—in their own small, humble way—can be the life of any party. The built-in stemware holder of the newer party plate models allows its users to hold their plates with one hand while using their free hand to grab food from their plates or shake other guests’ hands. This smart and convenient feature makes mingling easier and more enjoyable since guests don’t have to juggle their food, drink and plate, all while socializing. Plus, it’s perfectly suited for all sorts of celebrations whether it’s a corporate party, Christmas party, New Year’s Eve celebration, family gathering, birthday bash, wedding reception, anniversary party, baby shower or bachelorette party.

With the holiday season fast approaching us, take the time to put your best foot forward and use the best of everything for any special celebration: best food, decorations, entertainment and, of course, party plates. And by the way, you can forget about the cheaper plastic versions of conventional party plates. They just don’t come across as classy and elegant as their fabulous porcelain counterparts and they‘re less durable in the long run.

Parties are meant to be a fun, festive and memorable occasion for the attending guests. You can rely on Miami Restaurant Supplies to help you make it happen and aid your bottom line. After all, ‘tis the season to be merry when the party never stops thanks to your excellent planning and the right party plates from Miami Restaurant Supplies.
