Because we work like a partner, not a catalog. Our focus is helping franchises and restaurants choose the right items for their concept, budget, and operations—not pushing pre-set SKUs. We keep an inspiration gallery to spark ideas, then source, sample, and spec products around your needs (durability, plating style, portioning, footprint, cost-in-use, lead times).

Warranty & Protection

From decades in restaurants, we’ve learned that chip warranties are rarely used and the claim process can be time-consuming for busy teams. Most brands that include such warranties build the cost into every plate, which raises prices for everyone—whether they ever claim or not. We choose a different approach: keep pricing sharper and quality high, and let operators decide if a warranty adds value for their operation. That said, we do offer an optional chip-resistance warranty for restaurants that truly need or want it. If you’d like to add one to your program, tell your Tabletex rep and we’ll outline coverage, terms, and pricing.

Our 90-day limited warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under standard commercial use.

Yes. Our Premium Protection Plan (available at time of purchase) provides 24-month defect coverage, chipping protection, and 15% off same-product replacements.

Email warranty@tabletexinternational.com with proof of purchase, photos, and a description. The claim must involve a full case of affected product.

Breakage from misuse, thermal shock, surface scratching, or use in non-recommended environments is not covered.
