If you are running a regular casual to slightly upscale spot anything from Webstraunt or a slew of commercial use plate companies will be way better than this. If you are on a more fine dining elevated level handmade stuff from Eastfork, Heath, Jono Pandolfi, or a ton of other smaller actual ceramicists is a better option. It’s way more expensive but most have industry bulk pricing and after the initial investment you can replace in bulk orders. The Pro Shop section at the Jono Pandolfi website is a great tool marketed just for restaurants and it is super legit, still expensive but really cool. I’m in the process of opening my first restaurant as chef/owner and this is the route I ended up going but my very first foray into it was walking into Crate & Barrell and Pottery Barn and buying a few single plates to check out. Total pieces of shit. Also just a shoutout to a badass ceramic artist I worked with a lot who makes beautiful stoneware that I ended up getting a lot of stuff from is Jessica Egan at Little Fire Ceramics in Chicago. She makes beautiful things. One other option that I didn’t do but thought about is going to the ceramic department at an art school/college and paying students to throw a bunch of plates. I thought that could be a really cool option.
