Melamine is especially common in:

Popular Yanco Products Available at Nishi Enterprise
Porcelain vs. Melamine Yanco Dinnerware
One of the biggest decisions restaurants face when choosing Yanco dinnerware is whether to use porcelain or melamine.
| Feature | Yanco Porcelain | Yanco Melamine |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Traditional ceramic restaurant china | Can imitate ceramic-style presentation |
| Weight | Generally heavier | Generally lighter |
| Break Resistance | Can break if dropped | Highly break resistant |
| Microwave Use | Many Yanco porcelain pieces are microwave safe | Melamine generally should not be microwaved |
| Best For | Traditional restaurant dining and upscale presentation | High-volume and casual restaurant environments |
Why Restaurants Choose White Yanco Dinnerware
White remains one of the most popular restaurant dinnerware colors for a reason.
It works with virtually any cuisine.
A white plate can display:
- Steak
- Pasta
- Curry
- Seafood
- Salad
- Dessert
- Breakfast
Collections such as ABCO, Mainland, Paris, and Venice give restaurants several ways to use white dinnerware while choosing different shapes and materials.
Why Restaurants Choose Colored Yanco Dinnerware
Colored and reactive-glaze dinnerware can help restaurants create a more distinctive brand identity.
Collections such as:
- Lyon
- Lyon Blue
- Peacock
- Blue Star
- Agate
allow chefs to use the plate itself as part of the visual presentation.
This has become particularly important as customers increasingly photograph restaurant dishes for social media.
Why Restaurants Need Multiple Plate Sizes
A restaurant should generally not try to use one plate for every menu item.
Different plate sizes can help control:
- Portion appearance
- Presentation
- Table space
- Food cost perception
- Dishwasher capacity
A restaurant may use:
- 6 to 8-inch plates for bread, appetizers and desserts
- 9 to 10-inch plates for lunch and smaller entrees
- 10.5 to 12-inch plates for dinner entrees
- 14-inch and larger platters for sharing
Yanco's large catalog gives operators many choices within each size range.
Why Restaurants Need Different Bowl Sizes
Bowls are equally important.
A small 3 to 6-ounce bowl may be perfect for sauce.
A 10 to 18-ounce bowl can work for soup or sides.
A 20 to 30-ounce bowl can handle pasta, curry, rice, salads, and entrees.
Large 50-ounce and larger bowls can work for family-style food or shared salads.
Products ranging from the 3.5-ounce Yanco AC-32 to the 62-ounce Yanco AG-511 Agate Bowl demonstrate the range available.
What Should Restaurants Look for When Buying Yanco Dinnerware?
Material
Decide whether porcelain or melamine makes more sense for the restaurant.
Color
Consider whether the restaurant wants classic white, neutral earth tones, dramatic dark colors, or bright colors.
Shape
Yanco offers:
- Round
- Square
- Rectangular
- Oval
- Coupe
- Free-form
- Irregular specialty shapes
Capacity
For bowls, always check the ounce capacity as well as the outside diameter.
Case Pack
Commercial restaurant dinnerware is commonly sold by the case, so operators should check how many pieces come in each case.
Replacement Availability
Restaurants inevitably lose or break dinnerware over time.
Selecting an established collection can make it easier to reorder matching replacements later.
How Much Restaurant Dinnerware Should You Buy?
A restaurant should generally purchase more dinnerware than the number of seats in the dining room.
During service, some plates are:
- On customers' tables
- Waiting to be cleared
- Inside the dishwasher
- Drying
- Being used for food preparation
Restaurants also need backup inventory for breakage and unusually busy periods.
The correct quantity depends on restaurant size, turnover, menu format, dishwasher speed, and storage space.
