For commercial kitchens, refrigeration is the foundation of a successful operation. If foods and ingredients aren't stored at safe temperatures, waste will occur and reduce the business' profitability. Fortunately, Continental Refrigerator offers comprehensive commercial refrigeration options for all businesses, large and small. In fact, Continental is changing the game with shallow-depth refrigerators that fit into more compact spaces.
Space constraints can be a massive headache for operators, forcing them to devise creative or stopgap solutions. Fortunately, Continental Refrigerator understands the challenges of a smaller kitchen, which is why the company has developed shallow-depth worktops, undercounters, and sandwich units.
Operators can now store food in compact spaces with worktops, under-counter, or sandwich units. These pieces can fit in those spots that are hard to utilize, allowing operators to maximize every inch of kitchen space and improve productivity. Best of all, these units still come with the same reliability and temperature consistency as any of the standard depth ones.
Sometimes, smaller foodservice businesses must limit their menus or service options because they lack food storage space. Often, snack shops and cafés have extremely limited cooler sizes, preventing them from taking advantage of high-profit menu items and dishes.
Now, with shallow-depth refrigeration from Continental, operators have much more flexibility. These models fit closer to the wall, ensuring better walkway access. This way, workers can utilize more storage space without creating an unsafe kitchen environment. With the correct units, operators can do more without investing in expensive remodels or renovations.
Foodservice operators have many options when it comes to commercial refrigeration. However, many of these businesses choose Continental for their kitchens. First, Continental equipment is built to last and doesn't require much upkeep or maintenance. Second, with so many unique design options, operators can configure their kitchens however they see fit.
Another advantage is that most Continental Refrigerators are ENERGY STAR™-rated. So, operators can feel confident that anything they install in their kitchen won't cause their electricity bill to skyrocket.
Virtually any kitchen can benefit from Continental's wide lineup of refrigeration equipment:
Reach-in coolers are essential for most foodservice operations. Since a walk-in cooler may be too large or expensive to install, a reach-in is much easier to put into a smaller space. Also, pass-througs allow a more seamless workplace as items from the kitchen can be passed through to the service area much faster and more efficiently.
Bars need coolers to store various beverages and kegs, so they must maintain consistent temperatures and offer easy access. Under-counter equipment can fit into any bar setup with ease. Keg coolers also allow bartenders to serve beer faster, improving the business' profit margin.
A high-quality prep table makes it easier for workers to get what they need without disrupting service by running back and forth to the kitchen. Usually, these tables work best for pizza places but can also help other foodservice establishments, like sandwich shops.
Overall, Continental knows what it takes to keep a commercial kitchen running smoothly. That's why all their brand's refrigeration models are built to last and are highly versatile and reliable.
