FAQ

Q: I can continue to lose utensils at the current pace and still run a successful business. Why should I add another product/procedure to my busy restaurant?

A: Restaurants are in the business of making money. SilverSaver products save money, adding to the restaurant's profit without over-burdening the staff. Simple as that.

Q: I already have a device to reduce losses. Why should I buy another?

A: No other device or procedure can compare to the SilverSaver for cost-effectiveness.

Q: Using and washing the SilverSaver takes time, which costs money, right?

A: The SilverSaver was designed by engineers and restaurant experts. Minimizing the user’s time and effort was a primary design criterion. Time and motion studies show that personnel in a medium-sized restaurant will spend a total of 5-8 minutes per shift on the SilverSaver. Since restaurants save time by almost completely eliminating the various time requirements associated with restocking small ware, the net cost in time to SilverSaver owners is negligible or even positive.

Q: Are there any other benefits besides the cost and time savings?

A: When the loss of flatware ceases to be a consideration, restaurants can stock a better grade of flatware. This makes for a better customer experience and improves the restaurant’s appeal and, ultimately, profitability.

Q: Is it possible to pay by check?

A: Call our customer service group at 1-877-366-4655 to arrange payment by check.

Q: What parts of the SilverSaver might break and how much will it cost me to replace them?

A: All SilverSavers were designed to withstand harsh kitchen environments and brutal employees. Despite its light weight, every SilverSaver is almost indestructible. All SilverSaver 1000 parts are guaranteed for one year but are expected to last much longer. All SilverSaver 200 parts are guaranteed for two years against normal wear and tear, but most customers go 5 or more years without anything breaking or wearing out. Should you ever need a part, though, you can purchase it online or by calling us.

General Manager

Mamacita's Mexican Restaurant

General Manager

Connie's Pizza

"The FlatwareSaver is the 1st device we’ve found that actually keeps our flatware and ramekins out of the trash. It paid for itself in less than 2 weeks!"

Director of Operations

Commander's Palace

"We just started using the FlatwareSaver last month and we've already seen an improvement. We haven't made the calculations on the savings yet, but I'm expecting good news, especially regarding our ramekins."

General Manager

Hard Rock Cafe

"Our managers like it because they haven't run out of silverware or ramekins during a shift. We still haven't had to purchase anything since we bought the FS, almost 3 months ago. That's never happened before!"

Franchise Owner

Friendly's

"The FS is working well for us. We previously tried magnet devices but have used a dish rack on the trash can for the last 2-1/2 yrs. That worked well also but it left the floor messy. The FS is easier to flip and leaves the floor clean."

General Manager

Golden Corral

"We've been using the FlatwareSaver for almost a year now and are very pleased with the savings. I'm happy to recommend this product. Now every store in our chain will get one."

General Manager

The Bier Markt

"Your employees will hate it for a month, then you'll never hear another complaint. And the smallwares costs will drop to almost nothing."

Executive Chef

Edgewild

"We've had the FlatwareSaver for 2 weeks now and everything is going well. The servers are now more aware, in general, because they have to look at the tray. The tray is large, so they can see everything easily."

General Manager

McCormick & Schmick's

"We had a very good month on silverware loss (shortly after implementing the FlatwareSaver). I don't have a percentage but my losses per item are good."

Executive Chef

Landry's Seafood

"Over the most recent three months our silverware loss has been reduced 82% as compared to the same three months last year, and this year has been busier than last. The addition of the FlatwareSaver is the only thing I can think of that we are doing differently."

Director of Operations

Commander's Palace

"The employees like it because it's easier to use than what we were doing before. You just need to keep on top of your staff. Train and follow up."

Executive Chef

Landry's Seafood

"These are great!"

Director of Food & Beverage

Birchwood Manor

"They are working great; we really like them!"

General Manager

Via Napoli and Morimoto Asia | DisneyWorld

"It simply requires holding servers accountable to looking through the debris before dumping. We find most servers don’t intend to throw smallwares away and with the FlatwareSaver it's easy for them to retrieve"

Franchise Owner

Golden Corral

Franchise Owner

Golden Corral

"We were previously using a flat dish rack for our servers to clean their plates into and the FlatwareSaver is easier and cleaner."
