A platter cart for carrying a plurality of loaded trays has an upwardly extending, wheeled support frame and a plurality of spaced horizontal shelves secured between the opposite sides of the frame. Each shelf comprises a bar extending between the sides of the frame and formed into a serpentine configuration including at least a central portion of generally W-shape, the serpentine configuration having a central axis of symmetry aligned with the central axis of the frame. The sides of the cart are generally tapered inwardly from the rear to the front end of the frame, and the frame is open at its rear end so that carts can be nested together with the W-shaped shelves and tapered sides interfitting for nesting purposes.
