The Ultimate Guide to Flatware and Knives for Your Restaurant or Cafe

When you're running a restaurant, café, or any hospitality business, the tools you use matter—and we're not just talking about ovens and refrigerators. The flatware and knives you choose can make a big impact on how smoothly your kitchen runs and how your tables look to guests. 

 

At Horeca Store, we offer everything from everyday spoons, forks, and knives to high-quality knife sets with block holders, knife sharpeners, and chef knives—all designed to meet the demanding needs of food service professionals across the United States. 

 

Why Flatware and Knives Matter in Hospitality 

Customers notice the details. A perfectly grilled steak deserves a sharp steak knife, and a well-set table should include matching flatware. For your kitchen staff, having the right prep knives, fillet knives, or utility knives can save time and improve precision. 

 

That’s why choosing the right kitchen knives and flatware isn’t just about looks—it’s about performance, safety, and efficiency. 

Types of Flatware You Should Know 

Flatware typically includes three main types: 

 

1. Spoons 

  • Teaspoons for coffee, tea, or desserts 
  • Soup spoons with deep bowls 
  • Serving spoons for dishes like rice, curry, or pasta 

 

2. Forks 

  • Standard dinner forks 
  • Salad forks for lighter meals 
  • Serving forks for shared dishes 

 

3. Knives 

  • Everyday dinner knives 
  • Specialty options like steak knives and butter knives 

 

If you're setting up or refreshing your restaurant's tableware, Horeca Store offers flatware that combines durability, elegance, and value.
