Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a popular tearoom in the heart of York, needed to replace its old, cramped counter display to better showcase its famous homemade scones and  cakes. They chose the Lincat Seal GC46 for its visibility and  easy staff access during the busy tourist season.

"The new Lincat display has made a huge difference. It’s so much brighter and  our cakes look fantastic. Service is quicker too, as the team can just reach in and  grab what’s needed. We’ve definitely noticed customers adding a cake to their order more often now."

Robert Hughes – Owner, The Copper Kettle

Since installation, the tearoom has reported a 25% increase in sales of its high-margin cakes and  pastries.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully inspect the unit for any signs of damage before unpacking.
  • Choose a stable, level, and  flat countertop for placement, away from excessive heat or direct sunlight.
  • Give the glass and  shelves a thorough clean with a food-safe cleaner and  a soft cloth before its first use.
  • Ensure there's enough space behind the unit for staff to access it comfortably.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down glass surfaces daily with a suitable glass cleaner and  a microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints.
  • For a deep clean, carefully slide out the shelves and  wash them separately.
  • Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can scratch the glass and  stainless steel.
  • Periodically check that the non-slip rubber feet are clean and  secure to prevent movement.

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.

Ambient vs. Refrigerated

This is an ambient display, perfect for goods served at room temperature like cakes and  breads. If you're selling cream-filled items or sandwiches, you'll need a refrigerated unit.

Size and  Footprint

Measure your counter space carefully! Consider the height, width, and  depth to ensure it fits perfectly and  leaves enough room for your till and  workflow.

Staff vs. Self-Service

An open-back model like this is designed for staff access. If you want customers to help themselves, look for a model with front-opening doors or an open front.

Capacity and  Shelving

Think about how many products you want to display at once. Four shelves offer great capacity, but check if the height between them works for your specific items.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like removable shelves and  a simple frame. A unit that's easy to clean will save your team valuable time each day and  keep your display looking its best.

Why Toughened Glass is a Non-Negotiable for Safety

Ever wondered what 'toughened safety glass' actually means? Think of it like the glass in a car's side windows versus a standard window pane at home. Normal glass, when it breaks, shatters into large, dangerous shards. Toughened glass, on the other hand, undergoes a special heating and  cooling process that makes it up to five times stronger. If it does happen to break under extreme force, it crumbles into small, blunt, pebble-like pieces, dramatically reducing the risk of injury. In a busy café or shop where accidents can happen, this feature isn't just a nice-to-have; it's essential for keeping your staff and  customers safe.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Coffee Shops & Cafés

    Perfect for showcasing your delicious range of croissants, cakes, and  muffins right at the point of sale.

  • Bakeries & Patisseries

    An elegant way to display artisan breads, delicate pastries, and  signature bakes to entice every customer.

  • Delis & Farm Shops

    Ideal for presenting ambient goods like pork pies, scotch eggs, and  locally made treats with professional flair.

  • School & Office Canteens

    A brilliant solution for a grab-and-go station, offering easy access to sandwiches, fruit, and  snacks.
