Choosing a commercial food display cabinet is a fairly simple process. First of all you need to know what type of food you wish to display and secondly you need to decide whether you need the display cabinet heated, unheated or refrigerated. After this, you can narrow your choice down by brand, aesthetics and dimensions.
Heated display units are one of the most effective ways of keeping cooked foods warm. Food can safely stay on display for long periods without drying out or losing taste. A display cabinet with a glass front enables potential customers to view the food without the risk of contamination. We have a range of heated display cabinets specifically designed to hold certain food types, including pie cabinets and jacket potato ovens. Both are a popular choice for cafes and small shops, whereas buffet display cabinets tend to be more appropriate for restaurants. Gastronorms can slot straight into many of the display cabinet products we stock.
If chilled is what you’re after, there is a wide range of refrigerated commercial food display cabinets available. A bar will often use glass fronted fridges to display their range of chilled drinks, whereas a sandwich bar may use a countertop servery to display its choice of sandwich fillings and salad options just as a patisserie would opt for a chilled display cabinet. Refrigerated display cabinets optimise the freshness of products by keeping the food or drinks at a specific temperature. Display cabinets also have the advantage of increasing sales and appealing to the passing customers.
Unheated or ambient food display cabinets such as the Lincat Glass Display Cabinet are ideal for displaying foods in a clean and efficient way. These units are popular for cafes, bars or restaurants where space is limited, each cabinet can have up to 4 shelves and this means more items can be display at once.
Choosing a commercial food display cabinet for your commercial establishment is firstly about fulfilling the need of the product, then due consideration can be given to the look and size of it. Display cabinets that have a glass front are often designed for a member of staff to serve the customer, however there are also a large selection of self-serve display cabinets. Self-serve display cabinets are available in both heated and chilled units, often used for buffets where a business may have use several.
