In Conversation with Srikanth Bandaru, Corporate General Manager, Platform 65

The significance of tableware and glassware in enhancing the dining experience.

In the dynamic realm of hospitality, where experiences are as crucial as flavours, tableware and glassware play pivotal roles in crafting memorable dining moments. At Platform 65, our commitment to delivering a unique and immersive dining experience is reflected in every detail, including our choice of tableware and glassware. Alongside traditional plates and utensils, our dining experience features specialized items that contribute to the ambience.

Before choosing the ideal table setting for glassware, what key elements should be taken into account?

When curating our table settings at Platform 65, several key elements guide our selection process. Firstly, we emphasise the fusion of functionality and thematic relevance. Given our restaurant’s distinctive theme of a train, our tableware not only serves practical purposes but also complements the nostalgic ambience of a railway setting. Each piece, from the glasses to the plates, is chosen to enhance the visual appeal of our offerings while aligning seamlessly with our theme. Each table is adorned with themed tableware that includes unique elements such as miniature railway track setups for delivering food to the table by toy train. Additionally, small boards with names of places at every table, adding to the immersive atmosphere reminiscent of a bustling train station.

Could you please shed some light on the latest innovations within the glassware and tableware industry?

In terms of innovation within the glassware and tableware industry, we are particularly excited about recent developments that connects tradition with modern aesthetics. For instance, advancements in material technology have enabled the creation of lightweight yet durable glassware, ensuring both elegance and practicality. Moreover, designs that incorporate eco-friendly materials resonate with our commitment to sustainability, reflecting our values as a responsible hospitality establishment.

At Platform 65, every aspect of our dining experience, including the presentation of beverages, is thoughtfully curated to captivate our guests. Our array of drinks, from shakes to mocktails and juices, are served in distinct glasses and mugs that not only enhance the taste but also contribute to the overall thematic experience. The careful placement of tissues and themed decorations further enriches the visual narrative, immersing our guests in the ambience of a bustling train station.

As General Managers of Platform 65, we are proud to share our authentic approach to hospitality through our unique theme and meticulous attention to detail in tableware and glassware selection.
