A useful catering trolley is one that is:

• Sturdy and durable: It should be able to withstand the weight of food and equipment, as well as the wear and tear of everyday use.
• Easy to maneuver: It should have smooth-rolling casters that make it easy to move around, even when fully loaded.
• Well-organized: It should have shelves or compartments that are easy to access and that can accommodate a variety of items.
• Hygienic: It should be made from materials that are easy to clean and that can withstand the rigors of a commercial kitchen.
• Safe: It should have features that prevent accidents, such as non-slip surfaces and secure shelves.

Here are some of the most common types of catering trolleys:

• Service trolleys: These are used to transport food and dishes from the kitchen to the dining area. They typically have multiple shelves or compartments, and they may also have a built-in warming drawer.
