Abstract

The present serving tray is formed with an underside having a recess therein which is contoured to the shape of a human hand. When the serving tray is used, the server's hand fits comfortably and securely within this contoured recess, thereby obtaining greater control over the serving tray than is possible with serving trays currently in use. The recess of the present serving tray is preferably contoured to conform to the shape, size and preferred position of a particular server's hand.
