Hot and Cold Display Cases

The Basics

Refrigerated and hot display cases provide quick and easy access to food, which stimulates the impulse to buy.

Quick Fact

Operators can choose from among three main categories of hot merchandising units: island, in-line and countertop.

Cleaning and Maintaining

For optimum food safety, regularly clean and sanitize temperature-controlled food holding equipment. Forced-air systems will require more extensive cleaning.

Did You Know…

If the cabinet’s insulation is compromised at all, food safety may be at risk. If this is the case, a new unit should be purchased.

Choosing a Display Case

The proper capacity plays a key role in supporting an operation’s menu and volume. A common mistake operators make is specifying a merchandiser that is too large.

By the Way...

From a retailing standpoint, the more glass on the unit, the better its merchandising ability.
