Selecting Restaurant Deli Cases

Increase sales with restaurant deli cases
By Lorri Mealey, Owner The Boiler Room Restaurant Nothing helps set the mood of a deli better than a well stocked deli case. Deli cases are ideal for displaying a variety of goods, from cheeses and meats to prepared entrees and salads. Deli refrigerators offer a safe and hygienic way to showcase your business’ specialties.

Deli cases come in many varieties, including refrigerated and heated, wall models and floor models. Deli cases can be simple in appearance and design, or they can have a custom look with all features such as dual temperature control and thermal glass for energy efficiency.

When looking at deli cases, think about the following:

1. Business Needs- What type of deli display case do you need? Are you showcasing cured meats and artisan cheeses that need refrigeration, or are you selling slow-roasted chicken that needs steady heat?
2. Visibility- Will the case be a centerpiece of your store or shop, or will it be tucked away to the side? If it is to play an integral part in your customer's shopping experience, then an attractive custom deli display case is a better choice over plain, boxy deli cases.
3. Efficiency- Both heated and refrigerated deli cases use a lot of energy. Select deli cases for sale that have energy efficient features, such as thermal glass and automatic defrost timers.

Boost restaurant sales with glass deli cases

Deli cases are not just for delis anymore. Restaurants can greatly benefit from displaying menu items in deli carts and cases. A portable deli cart is a great way to showcase desserts to each table, to tempt a customer's palate. Clever positioning of restaurant deli cases, near waiting areas or entrances will have customers contemplating dessert before they even sit down.

Give food longer shelf life with deli refrigerators

Many refrigerated deli cases for sale have built in features that help keep food fresh. High humidity to preserve meats and cheese and self closing doors are just two features that keep spoilage down and profits up. Many deli refrigerators include a condensation evaporator and self contained air cooling units, increasing efficiency even more.

There are even companies who can make a completely custom deli case to suit your business needs, as well as your business décor.
