Because of basic design, food well cleaning and maintenance tends to be simple and straightforward.

Proper care and maintenance are crucial to keep refrigerated display cases operating at optimal efficiency.

An operation’s menu and volume will determine how many and what type of food wells it needs.

Before choosing a closed or open cold merchandiser, operators should determine the type of application in which they will use the equipment. While packaged foods can be offered for customer self-service in open-air displays, unpackaged foods must be held in a closed display and served by an attendant.

Food wells can be hot, cold or a combination of the two for use in both the front and back of house. 

The application will determine which type of cold merchandiser is best for an operation.
