A dinnerware service device is provided. The dinnerware service device includes an elongated body with a pair of arms extending therefrom, forming a channel to receive and support the edge of plateware. Opposite the arms, a tab extends to create a thumb receiving area. This design allows the user to handle the plateware by pinching the body between the thumb and index finger, thus preventing direct contact with the food. In some embodiments, the dinnerware service device is made from a single piece of material capable of supporting the weight and movement of the plateware with food. The dinnerware service device reduces food contamination by eliminating direct contact between the server's hands and the dish, thus enhancing hygiene in food service environments.
