Buffalo's 600 Series is all about smart, modular thinking for the modern kitchen. This prep counter is a brilliant example – it’s not just a table, it’s a genuine workspace solution. The build quality is solid for the price point, and  the integrated cupboard is a lifesaver in kitchens where every inch of storage truly counts. It's a simple, effective workhorse.

  • Practical Design: The raised lip and  adjustable feet are small details that make a huge difference daily.
  • No Internal Shelf: The cupboard is one open space, so you might want to add an organiser.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Cod, a popular fish and  chip shop in Plymouth, needed a compact station next to their main fryer for wrapping orders but couldn't afford to lose storage space for their packaging.

"We were constantly running out of space to wrap our orders during busy shifts. This little counter slotted in perfectly, and  the cupboard now holds all our paper and  boxes. It's made our service flow so much smoother and  looks the part too."

Robert Finch – Owner

The new setup helped them reduce order packing and  serving time by an estimated 15% during peak Friday night rushes.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a suitable, level spot for your new counter, ideally close to where you'll need it most.
  • Use a spirit level and  adjust the individual feet until the work surface is perfectly stable and  flat.
  • Give the entire unit a thorough wipe-down with a food-safe sanitiser before its first use.
  • Ensure there's enough space to comfortably open the cupboard door without obstruction.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe up spills, especially acidic ones like lemon juice or vinegar, as soon as they happen.
  • For daily cleaning, use a soft cloth and  a designated stainless steel cleaner for a streak-free finish.
  • Avoid using harsh abrasive scourers or steel wool, as these can scratch the surface.
  • Periodically check that the adjustable feet are still tight and  the unit hasn't become wobbly.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Prep Counter

Not sure what fits best? Here’s a quick guide to finding the perfect prep station for your space.

Measure Twice, Buy Once

Always measure the gap you have available, accounting for clearance around it for cleaning and  movement. Don't forget to check the height too!

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it's durable, hygienic, and  resistant to corrosion. It's the best choice for almost any professional kitchen.

Storage or Open Base?

A unit with a cupboard, like this one, is great for keeping items tidy and  protected. An open base or undershelf offers quicker access but less protection from dust.

Consider the Series

If you plan to expand your kitchen line, choosing a unit from a modular series like Buffalo's 600 will ensure a perfect, professional fit later on.

Upstands and  Lips

A raised edge or 'upstand' at the back and  sides is a brilliant feature for preventing food and  liquids from falling down the back of the unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this prep counter come flat-packed?

A: No, it arrives mostly assembled for your convenience. You'll just need to position it and  adjust the feet to ensure it's perfectly level.

Q: What is the main benefit of the stainless steel construction?

A: Stainless steel is incredibly durable, resistant to rust and  corrosion, and  non-porous, which makes it extremely hygienic and  easy to clean – all essential qualities for a commercial kitchen.

Q: Can the cupboard door be reversed to open the other way?

A: The door is fitted with standard hinges and  is not designed to be reversed. It opens from left to right.

Q: How do I clean and  maintain the surface?

A: For best results, use a soft cloth with a food-safe stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads as they can scratch the surface.

Q: Are the feet adjustable for uneven floors?

A: Yes, absolutely. The feet can be individually screwed in or out to ensure the counter is stable and  level, even on floors that aren't perfectly flat.

Q: Is there a shelf inside the cupboard?

A: This model features a single, open cupboard space without an internal shelf, maximising the height for storing larger items like containers or small appliances.

Q: What does 'neutral' mean in this context?

A: 'Neutral' simply means the unit is not powered – it's not heated or refrigerated. It's a standard ambient temperature work surface and  storage unit.

Q: How sturdy is the worktop? Can it hold heavy equipment?

A: The worktop is designed for general food preparation. While it's very sturdy, it's not intended to hold extremely heavy, vibrating countertop equipment. Please check weight limits for specific items.
