Selecting Refrigerated Display Cases

Show off your business assets with refrigerated cases

By Lorri Mealey, Owner The Boiler Room Restaurant
Refrigerated display cases are a great way to boost sales of food and drinks. A well-stocked beverage display refrigerator is inviting to customers, while refrigerated bakery cases tempt a patron's sweet tooth. No matter what sector of the food and beverage industry your business is in, refrigerated display cases can help increase sales and profits.

A display refrigerator is ideal for self-service eateries, convenience stores and even upscale dining establishments.

Refrigerated display cases include:

  1. Dessert cases, ideal for upselling in restaurants.
  2. Beverage display refrigerators, perfect for sandwich and pizza shops.
  3. Fresh produce cases, which can enhance the look of specialty and gourmet stores.

 

Increase restaurant sales with refrigerated display cases

Positioning a well-stocked dessert display case or refrigerated bakery display near the waiting area of a restaurant will turn customers thoughts to dessert, before they even sit down. Customers will even get up from their tables to see what treats are in your refrigerated bakery case. What better way to increase lunch and dinner sales?
Try: Find a display refrigerator at Top Jet Sales and at A City Discount, which carries a large variety of refrigerated bakery cases.

Boost liquor sales with refrigerated cases

An attractive refrigerator display case behind the bar, filled with bottles of beer, will advertise itself to patrons. Upright wine coolers are another attractive option for displaying your beer or wine selections in a refrigerated case.
Try: BigTray.com carries several different sized industrial refrigerators including glass front wine coolers. The Beverage Factory carries a wide variety of attractive wine coolers that compliment any restaurant décor.   

Keep your refrigerated cases clean

Even if your display cases hold all prepackaged food and beverages, you still need to keep them clean. A monthly washing with a sanitary cleaner is an easy way to keep your display cases looking new. Routinely cleaning the grills and fans will also keep the refrigeration motor running efficiently.
Try: Instawares carries a line of easy-to-clean refrigerated display cases, as does KaTom Restaurant Supply.

Save money with used refrigerated display cases

Refrigerated cases are one of the most popular items with used restaurant suppliers. This is partly because they work for a long time, and partly because so many different businesses require refrigerated cases, from convenience stores to florists.
Try: BakeDeco.com carries a wide variety of used refrigerated display cases, including counter top refrigerated display cases. Find more used refrigerated cases at Brrr Refrigeration & Design.   

 

  • Make sure your refrigerated display cases are at safe temperatures for food storage. A refrigerated display or refrigerated case should be kept at 41 degrees for proper food storage.
