CARING IS SHARING! PORCELAIN FOR INSTITUTIONAL CATERING IS RELIABLE, SMART, AND CONTEMPORARY.
Modern institutional catering is no longer just about functionality – it’s about quality, well-being, and smart solutions. Porcelain plays a central role in this. It combines aesthetics with everyday practicality and creates added value wherever many people eat daily.
Whether in schools and kindergartens, care facilities, hospitals, or company cafeterias and canteens – the right porcelain makes all the difference.
In educational institutions, it impresses with child-friendly design and high break resistance. In daycare centers and primary schools, it safely supports little hands through mealtime.
In nursing and retirement homes, specially designed, weight-balanced porcelain is used. It is especially lightweight, easy to grip, and promotes independence during meals – contributing to a better quality of life for elderly people in their daily routine.
In hospitals, one thing matters most: hygiene, reliability, and efficiency. Porcelain plays to its strengths here – it is stackable, quickly ready for use, and withstands intensive use over the long term.

In large-scale kitchens and canteens, durable porcelain supports daily operations without compromising on appealing aesthetics.
But porcelain can do even more today: it becomes smart. Equipped with RFID chips, QR codes, or EAN codes, it becomes a digital companion in the catering process. This intelligent porcelain integrates seamlessly into modern, automated checkout systems. As a result, the payment process becomes faster, contactless, and more efficient – a real benefit for both guests and operators.
Even behind the scenes, digital tableware offers clear advantages: it enables precise inventory and dish management, simplifies processes, and reduces losses. At the same time, additional information can be provided via QR codes—such as allergen details, nutritional values, or the origin of the food.
With this combination of traditional quality and digital intelligence, SELTMANN WEIDEN sets new standards for professional communal catering. High-quality porcelain “Made in Germany” that thinks along, works with you, and keeps up with the times.
This is how a plate becomes more than just a plate – it becomes part of a future-proof system that combines enjoyment, efficiency, and responsibility.
The EAN code on Seltmann Weiden porcelain enables quick and clear product identification. In self-service restaurants and canteens with automatic payment systems, it makes it easier to identify different dishes or portion sizes. In combination with the equal weight of the plates, the system can calculate the price accurately. This reduces errors and speeds up the payment process, saving on staff, preventing mistakes, and increasing speed at the checkout. In combination with the scales, the exact price can be calculated in seconds. Customers benefit from fast and transparent billing. Seltmann Weiden uses modern technologies to apply the code permanently and inconspicuously. This does not affect the design or functionality of the porcelain. Overall, the EAN code offers numerous advantages for manufacturers, retailers, and customers.

Seltmann Weiden's balanced porcelain guarantees that all plates and bowls in a series weigh exactly the same. Seltmann Weiden ensures that plates only vary by ±5 grams. This is particularly important in self-service restaurants and canteens with automatic payment systems that calculate the price based on the weight of the food. Different plate weights could lead to inaccurate price calculations. Precise balancing ensures that only the actual weight of the food is included in the price calculation. This improves billing accuracy and customer experience. For staff, it means an even workload when carrying multiple plates. With this approach, Seltmann Weiden is setting new standards in the gastronomy sector. It is an indispensable element for modern self-service concepts.

RFID in porcelain enables fully automated food recognition. Seltmann Weiden integrates RFID chips directly into the plates. These communicate with readers at the checkout. The system recognizes what has been served and calculates the price – exactly according to weight. Return stations automatically check the items and reset them. The kitchen can prepare plates digitally – information is assigned via a platform. This creates an intelligent cycle of dispensing, payment, and return. This reduces errors and saves on staff. It is fast for guests and efficient for operators. RFID is therefore the technological basis for smart canteens.

A QR (Quick Response) code on the porcelain provides quick access to digital information. Seltmann Weiden uses this technology to provide customers with additional content. By scanning the code, users can access information on product care, origin, or recipe ideas. In the gastronomy sector, QR codes can be used to display menus or collect customer feedback. The code is discreetly placed and does not detract from the design of the tableware. Customers experience a combination of traditional product and digital added value. Seltmann Weiden demonstrates its willingness to innovate and its customer focus. The integration of QR codes promotes interactivity and access to information. For companies, it offers marketing and service advantages. Overall, the QR code on the porcelain combines functionality with digital enhancement.

The purpose of lorem ipsum is to create a natural looking block of text (sentence, paragraph, page, etc.) that doesn't distract from the layout. A practice not without controversy, laying out pages with meaningless filler text can be very useful when the focus is meant to be on design, not content.
