Fridges

Commercial Fridges for Busy Kitchens

Commercial fridges keep ingredients at a steady temperature throughout the day. You use them for raw goods, prepared items and anything you reach for often. Most kitchens mix different shapes. Some fridges fit under counters.

Others stand tall. The right choice depends on your menu, the space you work in and how fast your team moves.

When a fridge holds its temperature, your shift feels calmer. Staff know where things are.

You waste less time checking stock or moving trays around. I’ve seen busy kitchens run almost the entire line from two or three well-placed fridges.

Upright Fridges →
Upright fridges hold more food and suit larger kitchens. They work for bulk storage and daily prep. Good for places that restock once or twice a day.

Under-Counter Fridges →
Under-counter fridges sit in tight spaces. They help when the chef needs ingredients within reach. Many cafés and small kitchens rely on these.

Counter Fridges →
Counter fridges double as prep stations. They support service when you handle food at the counter or pass. Suitable for sandwiches, salads and fast kitchens.

Counter-Top Prep Services →
These units keep toppings and fillings close to hand. They suit sandwich shops, pizza sites and places that prep in front of guests.

Wine Chillers →
Wine chillers keep bottles at a steady temperature. They fit bars, restaurants and any site that serves wine often.

Bottle Dumps →
Bottle dumps help bar staff grab drinks quickly. They hold bottles in ice-cold wells so no one waits for a fridge door to open.

Saladettes →
Saladettes hold chilled ingredients and give you a work surface. Handy when you prepare salads, wraps or cold plates throughout the day.

A Note from a Sous Chef

“We keep one upright fridge for bulk stock and a few under-counter units on the line. It saves steps. When the shift gets busy, small things like that matter.”
