LF: Plates, lots of plates

[MillerTime GFG]

Kind of an odd request, but I work at a Greek restaurant, so we break a lot of plates. I'm looking for a consistent source of plates that we can make a deal with. We generally go through 100-150 plates/month, depending on the month. Even if anyone knows of a good place, please let me know as we've basically exhausted all of our resources around town.

Thanks in advance.

I'd seriously look to finding a supplier/wholesaler from China.

Big list:

Something like this?

Minimum order is 2400 plates, they can supply 50,000 plates a month. They are 12.75 inches in diameter and cost about 50 cents each so for $1200, you'd get enough plates to break for 16-20 months. You could probably find cheaper if you look harder but there are hundreds of listings.

yes but Hack...whats the lead lvls in them?

And if you order from China you will be spared the inconvienence of breaking the plates yourself. Thats how they will arrive.

Try a Thrift Store. Not so consistent, but hopefully cheap.
