Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice, a popular pizzeria in Sheffield, needed to streamline their prep area. Their old, inefficient fridge was struggling to keep up, and  they lacked a dedicated, hygienic surface for assembling their signature pizzas.

"The Infrico counter has been brilliant. It keeps all our toppings perfectly chilled right where we need them, and  the stainless steel top is so easy to keep clean during a busy shift. It’s made our whole operation faster and  more professional."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

Since installation, The Corner Slice has seen a 15% increase in their order output during peak evening service, thanks to the improved workflow.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is on a firm, level surface to prevent vibration and  ensure doors close properly.
  • Leave a gap of at least 10cm around the back and  sides for proper air circulation.
  • Plug into a standard 13 amp socket – no specialist electrician is needed.
  • Let the fridge reach its operating temperature for a few hours before you start loading it up.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the interior and  exterior surfaces daily with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Check the door seals weekly for any splits or gaps to ensure they're airtight.
  • Gently brush any dust or debris from the condenser coils every month to maintain efficiency.
  • Arrange for an annual service check by a qualified engineer to keep it in peak condition.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Refrigerated Counter

Not sure if this is the one for you? Here are a few things to consider when choosing your catering double door fridge.

Measure Twice, Buy Once

Double-check your available space, including height, width, and  depth. Remember to account for ventilation space around the unit.

Think About Your Workflow

An undercounter model like this is perfect for prep stations. Does its location save you steps during service?

Upstand or No Upstand?

If the unit is against a wall, an upstand is a brilliant feature for preventing food and  liquids from falling down the back.

Gastronorm (GN) Sizing

This unit is GN1/1 compatible, which is the UK industry standard. Check that it matches the pans you already use in your kitchen.

Material Matters

AISI 304 grade stainless steel offers the best combination of durability and  hygiene, making it ideal for tough commercial environments.
