If you own a café, restaurant or store that sells chilled food, you might want to consider purchasing a cold display cabinet. Displaying your goods in chilled cabinets means that customers are more likely to make a purchase. When they can see how good your food looks, they’re more likely to be tempted! This is also a much easier way for you to show your customers the range of items you have for sale.
What Are Cold Display Cabinets?
A cold display cabinet is a glass-fronted or open unit that can keep everything that’s inside at a safe, low temperature. The main benefit is that your customers can see exactly what food you have, without subjecting it to any health and safety risks that might occur at warmer temperatures. They need to be cleaned and maintained just like a fridge.
What Is Display Refrigeration?
Display refrigeration is a term that can be used to describe the way you arrange the contents of your cold display cabinets. This will be different if you’ve got a store compared to if you’re running a café. The purpose of display refrigeration is to make your goods look as appealing as possible. Shops might want to fill the shelves up, so there’s plenty of available products. On the other hand, restaurants and cafes may want to limit the amount in the display cabinet to stop it from looking too busy.
How To Maintain Cold Display Cabinets
Because your display cabinet is there for all your customers to see, it’s important to ensure that they’re clean. Regular cleaning should be carried out using a cloth and soapy water. This not only ensures your products look great, it also conforms to food hygiene standards. Occasionally, if there’s a build up of ice you may need to do a manual defrost. Finally, you must service your equipment once per year with a refrigeration engineer to ensure your unit is working efficiently and correctly.
