Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Dough & Co.', a popular pizzeria near the student district in Cardiff, needed a better way to manage their lunchtime takeaway orders and showcase their pizza-by-the-slice offering. Their old static warmer was drying out the product, leading to waste.
"The difference was immediate. Customers can see the fresh pizzas rotating under the lights, and it draws them in. Our grab-and-go sales have never been better, and we're binning far less stock at the end of the day. It just works."
Liam Evans – Manager
Since installing the Hatco FDWD-1, the pizzeria has increased its lunchtime takeaway output by over 35% and significantly reduced food waste.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a level, sturdy countertop with easy access to a standard 240V socket.
- Make sure to leave a few inches of clearance around the unit for proper air circulation.
- Before the first use, fill the water reservoir at the front with clean, fresh water.
- Switch it on and allow it to pre-heat to your desired temperature before loading any food.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the glass and stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and food-safe cleaner.
- The glass panels are fully removable, which makes a deep clean much less of a chore.
- Empty and rinse the water reservoir at the end of service each day to prevent limescale build-up.
- Regularly check that the internal lights are working to keep your display looking its best.

Ever bought a slice of pizza that's been sitting under a heat lamp, only to find the crust is tough and the toppings are rubbery? That’s what happens when you use dry heat. The Hatco FDWD-1 cleverly solves this with its integrated 2-litre water reservoir. As the unit heats up, it turns this water into a gentle vapour, creating a humid environment inside the cabinet.
Think of it like a mini-sauna for your pizzas. This controlled humidity stops moisture from escaping, keeping the dough soft, the cheese gooey, and the toppings succulent for hours. It’s the crucial difference between serving a pizza that looks good and one that tastes like it's fresh out of the oven. This feature alone protects your product quality and your reputation.
