These restaurant trays are the ultimate functional tool for fast food restaurants, hospitals, schools, cafeterias, kitchens, diners, and snack bars. Molded of lightweight plastic in a variety of colors, these affordable plastic food trays are designed to both serve food and help restaurant patrons bus their own food waste and trash to garbage bins. These even work as lunch trays for kids! These cafeteria trays offer a scratch-resistant pattern on top which ensures a skid-free surface to reduce slipping and spills. Time is invaluable in most food establishments, so help save time by having customers bus their own tables with a convenient tray that is also super easy to clean.

Review: Perfect for little pets. - Great size for small dogs and cats feeding trays. Especially if you have outdoor pets. I purchased BugSnub ant repellent feet that adheres to the bottom of trays. Perfect! Keeps the food bowls off the ground, keeps ants from getting to the food, and collects all the bits of food crumbs left behind. It makes cleaning the tray a breeze. The tray is nice and sturdy. Holds up to the elements great. The blue color is attractive. Great value.
Review: A Versatile and Sturdy Serving Solution - The 12" x 16" size is just right for serving individual meals, snacks, or drinks. Whether it's in a cafeteria, fast food joint, or at home during parties, this tray provides ample space for a well-portioned meal or a collection of appetizers. I particularly appreciate the sturdy build of this tray. Made from high-quality materials, it can handle the weight of multiple plates and glasses without any bending or warping. The reinforced edges further enhance its durability, ensuring it lasts for a long time, even with heavy daily use. The non-skid surface of the tray prevents items from sliding around during transport, making it easy for servers and customers alike. I've also noticed that it helps reduce accidental spills, giving me peace of mind during busy dining times. Another notable feature is the easy-to-clean nature of the tray. It's dishwasher-safe, saving me valuable time and effort in the cleaning process. The black color not only adds a touch of sophistication to any setting but also hides minor scratches or blemishes that may occur over time. Additionally, the stackable design makes storage a breeze, saving precious space in my kitchen cabinets or storage areas. When not in use, I can easily stack multiple trays together without worrying about damage. Whether I'm hosting a party, serving meals to my family, or using it in a commercial setting, the Carlisle CT121603 Café Standard Cafeteria Tray never fails to impress. Its versatility, durability, and easy maintenance have made it a go-to choice for all my serving needs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall great product!
*by B***Y on July 19, 2025*

These are great! These trays have been so useful for different projects we’ve done. We’ve used them for crafts and food and taking scraps out to chickens. They are the perfect affordable option to keep on hand for sick days when a child needs lunch on their room. They aren’t flimsy at all, the top is textured so bowls or plates don’t slide around, and they aren’t heavy or too bulky for younger users. We bought forest green bc we have decorated with light teals and green. They match the decor. They’re also super easy to clean and can fit in the dishwasher!
