  • Assembly Required: It arrives flat-packed, so be sure to schedule a little time for assembly.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Hungry Student, a bustling lunch spot in Sheffield, needed to improve their service speed to cope with queues out the door. Their old setup was cramped and  disorganised, leading to delays and  stressed-out staff.

"Our sandwich prep was all over the place. This station has given us a proper system. Everything has its place, it's easy to clean, and  the team is visibly less flustered. It's made a huge difference to our daily operation."

Michael Davies – Manager

By centralising their prep, they've reduced average order time by 30 seconds, allowing them to serve more customers during the critical lunch peak.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before you begin, lay out all the components and  check you have all the fixings against the instructions.
  • Build the unit on a flat, level floor to ensure it's stable once upright. We recommend two people for easier assembly.
  • Attach the legs to the undershelf first, then secure the main tabletop.
  • Once fully assembled, give all bolts a final check and  tighten before moving the station into its final position.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the stainless steel top and  gantry daily with a soft cloth and  a food-safe sanitiser.
  • For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive, specialist stainless steel cleaner. Avoid wire wool or scourers.
  • Regularly wipe down the galvanised legs and  undershelf to prevent any grime from building up.
  • Periodically check that all bolts and  fixings remain tight, especially after moving the unit.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Prep Station

Not sure what fits best? Finding the right prep station can transform your kitchen's output. Here are a few key things to think about before you buy.

Measure Your Space

It sounds obvious, but measure your available space carefully. Remember to leave enough room for staff to walk around it comfortably during a busy service.

Check Your Current Pans

This station is built for Gastronorm pans. Check if your existing containers are GN-compatible to save you from buying a whole new set.

Analyse Your Workflow

How will you use it? The gantry is perfect for toppings and  salads, while the undershelf on this Modena refrigerated workbench is ideal for storing utensils or equipment.

Prioritise Easy Cleaning

A stainless steel top is non-negotiable for hygiene. Look for smooth surfaces and  minimal gaps where food and  dirt can get trapped.

Factor in Storage

A station with an undershelf provides crucial storage, helping to keep your kitchen organised and  compliant with safety standards by keeping items off the floor.

How a Gastronorm System Unlocks Kitchen Efficiency

Ever wondered why this unit is designed for 'Gastronorm' or 'GN' pans? Think of the Gastronorm system as the universal language of professional kitchens. It’s a standardised set of container sizes (like 1/1, 1/3, or 1/6) that are used across the industry. This means a GN pan from one brand will fit perfectly into a compatible oven, fridge, or prep station from another.

The Modena MCB908 is built around this genius concept. It's like kitchen LEGO. You can pull a 1/6 GN pan of pre-sliced tomatoes straight from your main fridge and  slot it directly into the gantry on this prep station. There's no need to transfer food into different bowls, which means less washing up, less food handling, and  a much faster, more hygienic workflow. It’s a simple feature that has a massive impact on daily operations.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Sandwich Bars & Cafes: Perfect for speeding up the lunchtime rush by keeping all your fillings and  spreads neatly arranged.
  • Pizza Takeaways: An ideal refrigerated workbench with gantry for assembling pizzas with toppings organised and  close at hand.
  • Pub & Restaurant Kitchens: Excellent for a dedicated salad, starter, or dessert prep area to streamline service.
  • Mobile & Event Caterers: A sturdy, easy-to-assemble prep station that provides a professional setup anywhere you go.
