In some ways this design solves a "problem" that we don't consider to be a problem. For example, we want food to go out on hot plates. They should arrive at the table hot. It is considered a serious breach of protocol to serve a hot meal on a cool or cold plate. I understand that your plate keeps the food hot in the center, but the patron needs to feel the hot plate. In other words, the hot plate is by design and user experience, not necessarily necessity. I've also purchased dish ware for restaurants. Anything that would raise the cost of the piece is multiplied by thousands, i.e. if your plate is $1 more than other plates because of it's unique manufacturing requirements, I'll be purchasing 1,000 of them and therefore I need to justify the outlay of the extra money. People in the business, cooks, chefs, professional waiters already know that the plates are hot. That is why we all carry towels and or aprons. As a purchaser I wouldn't go for it. This is just a perspective from the restaurant side. This design has many uses and applications. Well done. Hello Mandy,
