Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Wrap Shack', a popular lunchtime spot in Leeds, was struggling with a chaotic workflow. Their team had to constantly move between the prep counter and the main walk-in fridge, causing delays during the frantic 12-2 pm rush.
"The Modena prep station has completely reorganised our line. Everything is chilled, everything is to hand. Our staff are less stressed, and the customers are getting their food faster. It's just a solid, sensible piece of equipment that works."- Anya Sharma – Manager, The Wrap Shack
Since installing the Modena MCB909 prep station, The Wrap Shack has reduced its average order time by over 90 seconds during peak service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a level, stable spot for your new station with good airflow around the gantry.
- As it's flat-packed, we recommend having two people for assembly to make it quicker and safer.
- Once built, give all the screws and fixings a final check to ensure they're properly tightened.
- Let the refrigerated gantry stand for a few hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant gases to settle.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the stainless steel worktop daily with a food-safe cleaner and a soft cloth.
- Ensure the vents on the refrigerated gantry are kept clear of obstructions for optimal cooling.
- Remove and clean all gastronorm pans at the end of each day to maintain hygiene.
- Regularly check that the gantry is holding its temperature to ensure food safety compliance.

Explore more from ModenaWhy a Refrigerated Gantry Makes All the Difference
So, what exactly is a 'refrigerated gantry' and why is it so useful? Think of it as a mini open-air fridge that sits right above your workspace. It uses a gentle flow of cold air to keep ingredients held in gastronorm pans at a safe, chilled temperature, just like the top shelf of your main fridge would.
The real magic is its location. By having your chopped tomatoes, sliced cheese, and fresh lettuce right there in front of you, you eliminate the need to constantly bend down into an undercounter fridge or walk across the kitchen. This saves precious seconds on every single order, which really adds up during a busy lunch rush. It's a simple feature that directly translates into faster service, better food safety, and a much smoother operation.
