A wooden tray can serve as both an attractive decorative piece and a functional tabletop serving solution. Choosing the perfect tray is not difficult, but there are some things to consider before you buy.

A wooden tray should be large enough to accommodate your plates and utensils, yet small enough so it doesn’t overwhelm your tablescape. It is important to choose a design that suits the mood of your event or restaurant decor. The material used in the construction of the tray is also an important factor in choosing one for your table. Here are some things to know about selecting the right wood tray for food service use.

CONSIDER THE SIZE OF THE TRAY

Wooden trays can be found in a variety of sizes, which you should consider when purchasing one. The size you choose will depend on the number of people who will use the tray and the size of your table. A small tray may be appropriate for a small family dinner, while a large one may be needed for a buffet. Small trays are also good for use as a flat surface to display items on your tablescape.

CHOOSE A DESIGN

There are many different types of wooden trays for sale, and you should choose one that is appropriate for the type of event you are hosting. For example, if you’re serving a formal dinner party at home, a tray with a more traditional design and low profile would be ideal. If you’re hosting a picnic or outdoor BBQ, then an oversized tray would be better suited to accommodate your food and utensils.

SELECT THE RIGHT MATERIAL

If you are looking for a tray to use with your food service, there are several options available. An all-wood wooden tray can be used for hot or cold items. This type of wood is durable and has a very elegant look. If you're looking to invest in a quality, eco-friendly serving tray, the durability offered by the natural beauty of an all-wooden one would be hard to pass up.

From decorative trays to functional ones, deciding which one is right for your needs is really about knowing what you need from a tray.
