Under Counter Fridges

Under-Counter Fridges for Professional Venues

Under-counter fridges fit in tight spaces and keep ingredients close to where you prep. Many kitchens use them on the line because staff can reach in without having to move far.

They help when you need steady access to chilled goods during service. You don’t get as much space as an upright fridge, but you gain speed and a cleaner workflow.

Some teams use these units for cooked items that need to be held. Others keep raw goods inside so they don’t have to step away from the counter. It depends on how you set up your station.

I’ve seen cooks restock them from a larger fridge in the morning, then run the whole shift from that one small unit.

Under-counter fridges also work in small cafés where space is tight. They slide under worktops and stay out of the way.

When you clean them, empty the shelves first and work from the top down. Most units wipe clean quickly.
