Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice, a popular pizzeria in Bristol, wanted to add hot snacks like garlic bread and  chicken wings to their counter service to increase average spend. Their old, smaller warmer couldn't cope with the demand or display the items attractively.

"The HW-318 has been brilliant. It holds a surprising amount of stock, keeps everything at a consistent, safe temperature, and  customers can see exactly what's on offer. It practically sells the sides for us just by being there."

Michael Davies – Co-Owner, The Corner Slice

Since installing the unit, they have added two new hot side dishes to their menu and  increased their average order value by 18%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable countertop with good air circulation around the back and  sides.
  • Before plugging in, give the interior and  shelves a quick wipe-down with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Once plugged into a standard 13-amp socket, allow the cabinet to pre-heat to your desired temperature before loading food.
  • Position it where customers can see it easily, but staff can access the doors without obstruction.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the glass doors and  interior daily with a soft cloth and  appropriate cleaner to keep it sparkling.
  • Remove and  wash the chrome shelves regularly to prevent any build-up of grease or crumbs.
  • Check the door seals periodically to ensure they are clean and  making full contact to keep heat in.
  • Avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers on the glass, as this can cause scratches.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Hot Display

Not sure what to look for in a heated display? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the perfect fit for your business.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Think about how much you need to display versus the counter space you have. This 318L unit offers a great balance, providing ample vertical space on four shelves without a huge footprint.

Door Type

This model has hinged front doors, which are great for easy access. If your service area is very tight, you might consider a sliding door model, but hinged doors often provide a better seal.

Temperature Control

Digital controls, like on this unit, offer far greater accuracy than manual dials. This is crucial for food safety and  for keeping different types of food at their optimal temperature.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for removable shelves and  smooth surfaces. This heated food display cabinet 318L is designed with simple, clean lines and  removable chrome shelves to make daily cleaning quick and  easy.

Visibility is Key

The goal is to sell more food! A restaurant hot food showcase with clear glass on multiple sides, like this one, ensures your products are the star of the show from any angle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I adjust the shelves?

A: The chrome-plated shelves rest on adjustable clips inside the cabinet. Simply remove the shelf, reposition the clips to your desired height, and  place the shelf back on top.

Q: What is the best temperature for pies and  pastries?

A: Most bakeries find a temperature between 63°C and  70°C is ideal for keeping pastries and  pies hot, crisp, and  safe to eat.

Q: Can I put this on any countertop?

A: It should be placed on a sturdy, level countertop that can comfortably support its weight (74.5 kg) plus the weight of the food inside.

Q: How often should I clean the glass?

A: For the best presentation, we recommend wiping the glass down at the beginning and  end of each day, and  as needed to remove fingerprints or smudges.

Q: Is the internal lighting bright enough?

A: Yes, the unit includes internal lighting designed to illuminate your products effectively, making them look even more appealing to customers.

Q: Does this unit need special ventilation?

A: While it doesn't require an extraction hood, you should leave a small gap (a few inches) around the back and  sides for air to circulate and  prevent overheating.

Q: What is the benefit of tempered glass?

A: Tempered glass is much stronger and  safer than regular glass. If it does break, it shatters into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards, which is a key safety feature in a food environment.

Q: Is this a 'wet heat' or 'dry heat' unit?

A: This is a 'dry heat' cabinet, perfect for pastries, pies, and  fried foods. It does not use water or steam, so it isn't suitable for items that need a humid environment, like a bain marie.

What Customers Are Saying

"Does exactly what it says on the tin. Keeps our pies piping hot and  looks professional on the counter. Customers have commented on how good it looks."

Sarah Jenkins – Farm Shop in the Cotswolds

"A fantastic piece of kit for the price. The four shelves mean we can offer a much bigger range of hot snacks in our staff canteen. Really easy to clean, too."

Robert Green – Facilities Manager, Manchester Office Park

Precision Matters: How a Digital Controller Keeps Your Food Perfect

Ever wondered what the real difference is between a digital controller and  a simple dial? Think of it like a modern central heating thermostat versus an old, vague knob. A basic dial gives you an approximate temperature, which can fluctuate and  lead to food being too cool or drying out. This Easy HW-318 food display, however, uses a digital controller and  display for pinpoint accuracy. You set the exact temperature you need—say, 65°C for your sausage rolls—and the unit works precisely to maintain it. This means your food is not only held at a legally safe temperature but also stays in perfect condition for longer, reducing waste and  ensuring every customer gets the best quality product.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Local Cafés: Perfect for showcasing warm croissants, sausage rolls, and  pastries right next to the coffee machine.
  • Busy Takeaways: Keep fried chicken, pies, and  other hot snacks ready for the lunchtime or evening rush.
  • Bakeries & Delis: A great way to display and  sell hot pies, pasties, and  savoury slices throughout the day.
  • Convenience Stores & Forecourts: An ideal countertop hot food display unit to capture profitable grab-and-go food sales from commuters.
