How do commercial fridges differ from regular ones?
Commercial fridges are designed to meet the needs of businesses such as restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and other food service operations. They’re larger than regular domestic fridges and usually feature more efficient cooling systems and greater storage capacity. Additionally, they’re designed to ensure food safety and hygiene standards are maintained, with compartments that can be easily sanitised.
Do note, however, that commercial fridges are not all built the same. The quality, durability, and unique features of your restaurant fridge depend on the brand and model. It may be ideal to pick from renowned brands, as their products are often tested and proven to deliver consistent performance and are built to last.
Reward Hospitality carries one of the largest selections of commercial-grade catering supplies, such as refrigerators, freezers, grills, bar tools, dishwashers, fryers, ice makers, and more. To ensure we offer you only the top products the industry has to offer, we source our commercial refrigeration products from leading brands like Skope, Panasonic, and Williams Refrigeration. You also get access to our exclusive brands, such as Earth Essentials for takeaway packaging and Soft Clean for hygiene supplies.
What should I check when choosing commercial fridges?
When choosing commercial fridges for your business, there are a few important factors to consider:
The size and capacity of the fridge
The size and capacity of the fridge you choose will determine how many items you can store in it, which is especially important for restaurants that offer a variety of menu options. To ensure you’re buying the right size, take the measurements of your kitchen space and then look up the dimensions of the refrigeration units that fit nicely within that space.
The temperature range of the fridge
When choosing a commercial refrigerator, one of the first things you should check is the temperature range. The wider this range, the more flexibility you’ll have when storing different types of food. For example, you may want to store raw meats in one part of the fridge and cooked foods in another.
The energy efficiency of the fridge
In general, the more efficient the fridge is, the less it will cost you on your monthly electric bill. Look for models with an energy rating label indicating how much energy the model uses yearly.
While these are crucial factors to consider when looking for commercial fridges, we understand that it can be time-consuming and a hassle to manually look up fridge options that fit your needs and preferences. That’s why we make your shopping experience faster and more convenient here at Reward Hospitality by providing you with an easy-to-navigate online shopping interface.
Simply select your desired fridge dimensions, energy usage, and other special features to narrow down your options quickly. Don’t worry if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for; we can source them for you as we work closely with international manufacturers and buying conglomerates to bring you the latest trends and most sought-after products across the globe.
Are single-door commercial fridges better than double door?
The decision between a single-door and a double-door commercial fridge comes down to personal preference and the needs of the business.
Single-door commercial fridges generally have a smaller footprint; they take up less space in the kitchen and use less energy than double-door fridges, making them ideal for small businesses. Meanwhile, double-door fridges provide more storage space and can be divided into separate compartments, allowing for different temperatures within the same unit.
