Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a busy tearoom in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, needed to replace its old, scratched acrylic display case. They wanted something that looked more professional and  was easier for their staff to clean and  restock during the hectic lunch rush.

"The Lincat display has made a huge difference. It’s so clear that the cakes and  scones almost sell themselves. It looks incredibly smart on the counter, and  being able to just slide the back doors open to serve is so much quicker for our team."

Robert Hughes – Owner

Since installing the GC36D, The Copper Kettle has seen a noticeable increase in cake and  pastry sales, reporting a 15% uplift in just the first two months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  level countertop for the unit to sit on.
  • Before first use, give the cabinet and  the removable shelves a thorough clean with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Carefully slide the glass doors into their runners at the back of the unit.
  • Position it where staff have easy access to the rear and  customers have a clear view from the front.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down all glass surfaces daily with a suitable glass cleaner to remove fingerprints and  smudges.
  • For a deep clean, carefully slide out the shelves and  wash them separately.
  • Use a soft cloth to clean; avoid abrasive scourers that could scratch the glass.
  • Regularly check that the non-slip rubber feet are clean and  secure.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Countertop Display

Not sure which display cabinet is the right fit for your business? Here are a few key things to consider.

1. Measure Your Space

It sounds obvious, but always measure your countertop before you buy! Check the height, width, and  depth to ensure a perfect fit, leaving room for staff to work around it.

2. Ambient, Heated, or Chilled?

This Lincat model is an ambient display, perfect for goods served at room temperature. If you need to keep food warm (like pies or pasties), you'll need a Lincat heated display cabinet instead.

3. Who's Accessing It?

This unit has rear doors for assisted service. If you want customers to help themselves, look for a model with front-opening or open-fronted access.

4. Think About Cleaning

A display case is always in the customer's eye-line, so it needs to be spotless. Features like removable shelves and  doors make daily cleaning much less of a chore.

5. What's Your Capacity?

Consider how much product you want to display at any one time. Check the number of shelves and  the height between them to ensure it meets your merchandising needs.

Why Toughened Safety Glass is a Must-Have

Ever wondered what 'toughened safety glass' actually means? It’s not just slightly thicker glass. It's a special type of glass that has been through a controlled heating and  cooling process, making it up to five times stronger than standard glass. Think of it like the difference between a normal windowpane and  your car's side windows. It's specifically designed to withstand the knocks, bumps, and  temperature changes common in a busy café or kitchen. Crucially, if it ever were to break under extreme force, it shatters into lots of small, blunt, cube-like pieces instead of dangerous, sharp shards. This makes it the only sensible choice for a food environment, protecting your staff, your customers, and  your peace of mind.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés & Coffee Shops

    An ideal countertop unit for showcasing fresh croissants, cakes, and  scones right by the till.

  • Bakeries & Patisseries

    Displays your delicate creations safely while giving customers a brilliant, clear view of the goods.

  • Delicatessens & Sandwich Bars

    Perfect for presenting pre-made sandwiches, salads, and  savoury pastries for quick grab-and-go service.

  • Canteens & Farm Shops

    A sturdy and  safe way to display ambient snacks, pies, fruit, and  other local produce.
