Products, materials and care
Can your plates, bowls and glasses go in the dishwasher?For private customers
Yes. Every plate, bowl and glass we offer is dishwasher safe, and so is our stainless steel. Each product page lists its care instructions under Care & maintenance.
Will they hold up in a commercial dishwasher, cycle after cycle?For businesses
Yes. We choose every piece for daily restaurant service, and that includes commercial dishwashers.
Can the porcelain go in the oven, microwave or freezer?
Our Trattoria porcelain is oven safe, freezer safe and microwave safe.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature, such as putting a cold dish straight into a hot oven, because they can crack porcelain.
What grade of stainless steel do you use?
We use foodgrade stainless steel, also called AISI 304 for our trays, bowls, seasoning boxes and cocktail sticks.
Do the plates and bowls stack for storage?For businesses
Yes. All Trattoria plates, deep plates, bowls and oval trays stack. So do the Bodega glasses and the stainless steel oval trays and dip bowls. Stemmed glasses, resting trays and seasoning boxes don't stack. Each product page shows whether it stacks under Specifications.
Are these the same pieces I saw at Bar Moro, Møntergade, Phoebe or Ratata?
Yes. Each venue's page shows the pieces they use, with links to buy them: Bar Moro, Møntergade, Phoebe and Ratata.

When will my order arrive?

Will I pay customs or import duties?
No. We only ship within the EU, so no customs or import duties apply.
How do you pack glassware so it arrives intact?
Our glasses are packed carefully in a custom cardboard box, which is then packed in a second cardboard box. Each glass is held firmly in place to protect it in transit.
If a piece still arrives broken, email support@seated-dept.com with your order number and a photo. We'll do our best to help, and figure out a good solution.
My parcel hasn't arrived. What do I do?
First check the tracking link in your dispatch email. If the parcel still hasn't arrived, email support@seated-dept.com with your order number. We'll do our best to help, and figure out a solution.
Returns, withdrawal and breakage
Can I return something I don't want?For private customers
Yes. You can return a personal order within 14 days of delivery, for any reason. If your order arrives in several parcels, the 14 days start when the last one arrives. The full terms are on Shipping & Returns.
How do I start a return?For private customers
Tell us first, then send the items back:
- Tell us within 14 days of delivery. Use the Withdraw from contract button at the bottom of every page, or email support@seated-dept.com with your order number.
- We'll reply with a shipping label to send your items to.
- Send the items within 14 days of telling us.
Please tell us before you send anything back, so we can match your parcel to your order.
Who pays for return shipping?For private customers
You do. If you want to return something, please contact us on support@seated-dept.com and we will send you a return shipping label. Once we receive your return, the shipping cost will be deducted from your refund.
When will I get my refund?For private customers
We refund you within 14 days of hearing that you want to return your order. We can wait until the items are back with us, or until you've shown us that you've sent them.
The refund covers the price of the items but not the standard delivery you paid. It doesn't cover the extra cost of express delivery or the cost of sending the items back. We refund to your original payment method, and your bank may take a few more days to show it.
What counts as unused if I've unpacked a glass to look at it?For private customers
Unpacking a glass to look at it is fine. You can handle the items as you would in a shop to check them. To return them, they must be unused, in their original condition and in their original packaging, so please keep the box and packing.
If an item has been used, for example for a drink or washed in the dishwasher, we may reduce your refund.
Something arrived broken. What do I do?
Email support@seated-dept.com with your order number and, if you can, a photo. We'll do our best to help, and figure out a solution. Please check your order when it arrives.
Business accounts and hospitality prices
Who can open a business account?
Any business that buys for its own venue or company: restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels, nightclubs, caterers, offices and companies buying gifts. If your business is something else, choose Other when you sign up.
What do I need to sign up?
Your company name and VAT ID, the type of business, a contact name and email address, and your billing and delivery addresses. A phone number is optional. Sign up on the Sign up as business page.
How long does approval take?
We usually approve new business accounts within 1 business day. We'll email you when your account is ready to use.
Can I sign up without a VAT ID, as a sole trader or a venue that hasn't opened yet?
You need a VAT ID to sign up. Sole traders with a VAT ID can open a business account, and so can venues that haven't opened yet. If you don't have a VAT ID yet, email sales@seated-dept.com and tell us about your business.
Can several staff members order from one account?
Yes. Email sales@seated-dept.com with the name and email address of each person who should order, and we'll add them to your company account. Each person signs in with their own email.
I'm a private customer. Can I see hospitality prices?
No. Hospitality prices are only for businesses with a business account.
Bulk orders, re-ordering and stock continuity
Will you keep stocking the same pieces so I can replace breakage for years?
Yes. We choose pieces that restaurants can keep reordering, and we plan to keep our core range in stock.
Can you supply a full opening order, for example 300 glasses of one model?
Yes. Email sales@seated-dept.com with the models, quantities and your opening date. We'll tell you what's in stock now and when the rest can arrive.
Can you add our logo or engrave pieces?
We offer custom made pieces. The minimum order varies from 50-500 pieces, depending on product type. Please contact us at sales@seated-dept.com to hear more about the possibilities.
Invoicing, VAT and payment terms for businesses

Can you send invoices straight to our accounting email?
Yes. Email sales@seated-dept.com with the address, and we'll send your company's invoices there.
Can I get a VAT invoice with my company name on a personal order?
Yes. Add your company name to the billing address at checkout, and it will appear on your invoice. If you buy for a business regularly, a business account gets you hospitality prices and invoices in your company's name.
