Carlisle FoodService Products cafeteria tray 14" x 10" Orange — shatter-resistant polypropylene, basket-weave grip (Pack of 24)

A robust, shatter-resistant 14" x 10" cafeteria tray from Carlisle designed for busy foodservice venues that need lightweight durability and improved grip.

This Carlisle FoodService Products CT101424 tray is built for high-traffic cafeterias, fast-casual restaurants, and self-service dining areas. Molded from polypropylene, it resists cracking and is easy to carry while its basket-weave surface helps keep plates and cups steady during transport. The compact 14" by 10" footprint saves space on counters and in storage while still accommodating a full meal, beverages, and condiments.

How does this tray hold up in a hectic dining room?

The tray is engineered for frequent handling: its polypropylene construction offers impact resistance and repeated-use longevity without adding much weight. The material is easy to clean and tolerates standard foodservice sanitation practices. Because it resists shattering, it reduces replacement frequency and the risk of sharp fragments in the dining area.

• Shatter-resistant polypropylene for long service life
• Lightweight design reduces user fatigue
• Easy to wash and sanitize with common detergents

What features keep food and drink stable while customers carry trays?

A molded basket-weave texture across the tray surface increases friction between the tray and dishes, helping prevent sliding or tipping. Slightly raised edges help contain spills and keep plates from shifting off the tray. Together these features lower the chance of accidents during transport from service line to seating.

• Basket-weave texture increases surface grip
• Raised perimeter edge contains minor spills
• Flat, even surface supports a range of dish sizes

Can this tray support operational goals like self-bussing or brand color coordination?

The tray is sized and styled to promote self-clearing by guests, making it easier for staff to manage turnover and reduce labor needs. Carlisle supplies these trays in multiple sizes and a broad palette of colors, so you can match trays to your establishment’s identity or designate different colors for specific stations or menu themes.

• Compact sizing encourages customer self-bussing
• Available in many colors for branding or station coding
• Multiple sizes available to suit snacks through full meals

What maintenance and safety considerations should I expect?

This tray is BPA-free and NSF certified, meeting common foodservice safety standards. It cleans quickly with warm soapy water or commercial dish machines, and its durable surface resists staining and odors when cared for properly. Because it’s plastic and not glass or ceramic, it lowers the risk of dangerous breakage in busy dining areas.

• NSF certified and BPA-free for foodservice safety
• Dishwasher-safe; resists stains and lingering odors
• Plastic construction reduces breakage hazards

Who is this tray best suited for? The Carlisle CT101424 is ideal for cafeterias, schools, hospitals, quick-service restaurants, concession stands, and corporate dining where high turnover, cost-efficiency, and safety matter. It’s also a good fit for operators who want a compact tray that still carries a full plate and drink, and for businesses seeking color-coded service or a uniform look across front-of-house operations.
