Jackstack

Jackstack is the specialist commercial plate-storage brand for restaurants, banqueting venues, function centres and central production kitchens that move large volumes of plated service through prep, service and clean-down — represented in the Australian range by the 104-plate plate rack, an open-format mobile plate rack sized for high-volume banqueting and event service — available now through Commercial Kitchen Company.

The Jackstack Plate Rack 104 Plates is the brand's flagship plate-handling rack for banqueting venues, function centres, large restaurants and central production kitchens. Built around the operational reality that plated service at scale requires moving over a hundred plates between dishpit, plate-up bench and service in a single sequence, the rack consolidates that movement into a single mobile cart rather than ten or twenty trips by service staff carrying stacks by hand — a meaningful labour and breakage saving across a typical banqueting shift.

Build is engineered for the punishing reality of banqueting kitchen logistics. The rack frame is heavy-gauge steel with rounded corners to limit door-frame and wall damage during transit between dishpit, plate store and service pass, and the plate cradles are spaced to take standard commercial plate diameters with enough clearance to load and unload without chipping rims. Castors are heavy-duty and sized for the loaded weight of 104 plates plus rack — the loaded weight is significant, and undersized castors are the common failure point on cheaper rack designs.

For function and banqueting venues, the operational benefit is straightforward — staff can plate-up at the service bench, load directly into the rack as plates come off the line, then wheel the loaded rack to the pass for service rather than runner-carrying stacks across the kitchen floor. Same logic applies in reverse on clean-down: dirty plates load into the rack at the table-clear, wheel back to the dishpit, then either feed direct into a passthrough warewasher or stage for hand-wash. The 104-plate capacity is sized for typical mid-large function service rather than small-restaurant à la carte, where a smaller rack format would usually be the right fit.

Commercial Kitchen Company stocks the Jackstack 104-plate plate rack with nationwide delivery and ready access to spare castors, cradle inserts and replacement parts — backed by Australian after-sales support.
