Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Bridge Bakery in Shrewsbury was looking for a way to better present their popular sausage rolls and  vegan pasties on their already crowded service counter. They needed something compact but with great visibility to catch the eye of queuing customers.

"The moment we set up the King ZW50 display cabinet, customers started commenting on things they'd never noticed before. It looks so much more professional than our old tiered plates, and  it keeps the products perfectly protected while looking fantastic."

Michael Edwards – Owner

After installing the unit, the bakery tracked an immediate and  sustained increase in savoury pastry sales of over 25%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Carefully unbox the unit on a flat, stable surface, checking for any transit damage.
  • Position the display case on a level countertop where you want it to live.
  • Before its first use, wipe down all glass panels and  interior surfaces with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Ensure the internal shelves are correctly and  securely seated in their positions.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down glass daily with a soft cloth and  a suitable glass cleaner to remove fingerprints.
  • Regularly remove all products to clean the interior and  shelves, removing any crumbs or debris.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can scratch the glass.
  • Periodically check that the door hinges are moving smoothly and  are free from dirt.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Ambient Display

Need a hand picking the perfect display? Here are a few key things to consider when choosing a commercial food display unit.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Balance the amount you need to display with the counter space you can afford to lose. A two-tier model like this is a great way to double your display area without widening the base.

Material & Safety

For busy commercial environments, always opt for tempered glass. It's far more durable and  much safer if an accident happens, which is a non-negotiable for food safety and  compliance.

Access for Staff & Customers

Think about your workflow. Rear-access doors are brilliant for staff-served counters as they allow for easy restocking. Front-opening doors are better suited to self-service environments.

Style & Aesthetics

Your display case is part of your decor. Choose a unit with a clean, minimalist design that enhances your space and  lets the quality of your food do the talking.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for smooth surfaces, minimal crevices, and  removable shelves. A unit that’s easy to clean will save your staff valuable time and  help you maintain the highest hygiene standards effortlessly.

More Than Just Glass: The Safety of Tempered Panels

You’ll often see 'tempered glass' listed on commercial equipment, but what does it actually mean for your business? Think of it as super-strength glass. During manufacturing, the glass is put through an intense heating and  rapid cooling process. This changes its internal structure, making it up to four times stronger than ordinary glass.

The biggest benefit, however, isn't just its strength but its safety. If it ever does break under extreme force, it's designed to crumble into small, dull-edged, pebble-like pieces instead of shattering into long, dangerous shards. In a busy café or shop, this dramatically reduces the risk of injury to staff or customers, giving you crucial peace of mind. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference to workplace safety.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés & Coffee Shops: Perfect for displaying croissants, muffins, and  cookies right next to the till point.
  • Bakeries & Patisseries: An elegant way to showcase fresh bread, scones, and  signature bakes without taking up floor space.
  • Delis & Village Shops: Ideal for merchandising packaged snacks, crisps, and  other grab-and-go items neatly on the counter.
  • Hotel Lobbies & Receptions: A smart solution for offering complimentary snacks or items for purchase in a welcoming, professional manner.
