Quick Fact

Retail applications and operations with minimal counter space should consider temperature-controlled compact grab-and-go styles and countertop units.

Cleaning and Maintaining

For optimum food safety, regularly clean and sanitize temperature-controlled food holding equipment.

Did You Know…

Shelf adjustability can provide added flexibility with menu changes and different-size products.

Choosing a Display Case

Base the unit’s size on anticipated sales, storage volume and product holding times or how long products will stay in the case.

By the Way...
