One buffet,
many services.
Craster is the Tier One presentation system in your Managed Order Guide. Beautifully considered front-of-house solutions that let any outlet set up, refresh and adapt a buffet with confidence — from a university café to an executive lounge.
Skip to pricingCraster designs and manufactures a single, coherent system of trays, frames, plinths, risers and trolleys. Components share a common geometry, so the same Flow frame that holds a breakfast drop-in becomes a canapé stage by evening.
For your outlets, that means one considered investment that flexes across the working day — less storage, less duplication, and a consistent look from breakfast through to reception.
The right specification for every outlet.
A university cafeteria and a law-firm executive lounge have very different budgets and handling requirements. The Craster range is structured so each outlet can specify to the right level — without losing the coherence of one system.

Boards & Rustic

- Solid oak boards & risers
- Lowest entry price points
- Minimal handling overhead
The same system, from breakfast to canapés.
One set of components, traced across five service occasions. The frames that hold breakfast drop-ins become the canapé stage by evening. Trays, plinths, carafes and label holders each play multiple roles across the working day.
The same frames carry five services from one investment — reducing storage, duplication and waste across every outlet.
Less waste on the table, by design.
The most sustainable buffet is the one you don’t replace. Craster designs for longevity, sources hardwood responsibly, and supports outlets working toward their own environmental commitments — including measurable food waste reduction.
The Craster system, costed.
We’ve produced this case scenario based on the requested service — 150 covers across breakfast, coffee break, lunch, afternoon tea and canapés. The range is bought as one shared kit that flexes across the working day, so the figure that matters is the kit cost, not a per-service total. Priced against the live Craster price list; final pricing confirmed at order.

Indicative reference — one shared kit priced for 150 covers against the live Craster price list (CAD, quotes QT208867–QT208871). Total derived from the maximum quantity required of each SKU across the five service occasions. Outlets requiring more or fewer covers scale from this reference; final invoiced pricing confirmed at order.
What it would cost otherwise.
If each service occasion were bought as its own standalone Craster kit — breakfast as one buy, coffee break as another, and so on — the same range would cost almost three times more. The structural reason it doesn’t have to is that 30 of the 47 SKUs reach across four or five services. Same hardware, different deployments.
Each row, one SKU. Each column, one service. Filled where the same item shows up again.
Sorted by reach: items in every service at the top, items locked to one occasion at the bottom. The density of the upper band is why the shared-kit total holds.
— the always-on core of the kit
— carry across most of the day
— 64% of the SKU mix
— the only genuinely service-specific items
Stocked, warranted, supported.
Set up. Refresh. Adapt.
