Reach-in refrigerators are designed to keep the interior cool even when the doors are opened repeatedly. This makes them ideal for storing products that need to be readily available.
Under-counter refrigeration shares the same purpose as reach-in refrigeration; however, its purpose is to do so in smaller areas while holding a smaller quantity of food products.
The biggest attraction of the under-counter fridge is that it is compact but still provides an intense, commercial-grade refrigeration power.
Space-Smart
Anyone who runs a restaurant or catering kitchen knows how valuable space is—especially during frantic service. Because these fridges can be installed under a counter, they are excellent space-savers, freeing up floor space in your kitchen for other required professional appliances.
Have a look at our 4 Door Underbar Fridge. This refrigerator can easily fit into any kitchen, ensuring your precious kitchen space doesn’t go to waste.
Extra Prep Area
Under-counter models are really a combination of a refrigerated prep table and a classic, commercial reach-in fridge. Whether installed under the counter or free-standing, the worktop of an under-counter fridge provides additional food preparation space, which is a major advantage in any busy commercial kitchen environment.
Quick Access
An under-counter fridge allows for quick access to goods in small areas and is ideal for storing products that are frequently used and re-refrigerated.
Efficient Stock Management
The limited capacity of the under-counter fridge allows the chef or kitchen manager to issue from the larger, bulk-storage walk-in fridge, and store only the required stock for daily service in the more compact unit. This aspect enables more efficient stock control and cost management.
Overfilled refrigerators often provide inconsistent cooling due to blocked air circulation, leading to overworked compressors, unsafe food conditions, wastage and ultimately, higher food costs.
If you require additional refrigeration in your kitchen, you will need to decide whether to invest in further reach-in refrigerators like the space-saving, compact, under-counter or take a leap to the large, bulk-storage, walk-in option. Although quite different, both will contribute significantly to a smoother kitchen operation and increased output.
