Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Flour Pot Bakery in Norwich needed to replace their old, single-level warmer which was struggling to keep up with demand and  looked dated. They chose the Modena MHD2 food warmer for its larger capacity and  modern, clean appearance to better showcase their award-winning sausage rolls and  vegan pasties.

"The difference was instant. Customers could see our full range of hot savouries clearly, and  the two shelves mean we never run low during the lunch rush. It just sits on the counter and  quietly does its job, perfectly."

Robert Hughes – Owner

Since installation, the bakery has seen a 30% increase in hot savoury sales and  a noticeable reduction in end-of-day food waste.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a stable, level countertop surface away from direct drafts.
  • Ensure there's a few inches of space around the unit for proper ventilation.
  • Before first use, turn it on and  allow it to pre-heat for 15-20 minutes.
  • Position the unit where customers have a clear line of sight to encourage impulse buys.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the interior surfaces and  stainless steel base daily with a damp, soft cloth.
  • Use a food-safe glass cleaner on the plexiglass to keep it sparkling and  streak-free.
  • Remove the shelves for a thorough clean once a week.
  • Always switch off and  unplug the unit before cleaning, and  allow it to cool down completely.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Heated Display

Not sure which heated display is the best fit for your business? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get it right.

Measure Your Space

Check your counter depth and  height. This compact countertop heated food display unit is great for tight spaces, but always measure twice!

Match Heat to a Treat

This model's static heat is perfect for pastries. If you're holding wet dishes like chilli, you might need a unit with a water pan (bain marie).

Consider Access

This unit has front-opening doors, making it ideal for staff to serve from. If you need a self-service option, look for a pass-through model.

Check Your Power

The Modena MHD2 uses a standard 13A plug, making it incredibly versatile. Always check the power requirements to ensure compatibility.

A Window to a Sale

Good internal lighting and  clean, clear glass are non-negotiable. An attractive display is proven to increase impulse purchases.

The Modena Mindset: Reliable by Design

When you choose a Modena appliance, you're investing in a philosophy of simplicity and  reliability. In a fast-paced commercial kitchen, the last thing you need is overly complex equipment that requires a manual to operate or breaks down due to a faulty sensor. The Modena MHD2 is the antidote to that. Its design is intentional: every component, from the sturdy stainless steel frame to the simple analogue dial, is chosen for durability and  ease of use. This focus on fundamentals means fewer potential points of failure, less time spent on training, and  more time spent serving customers. Over the long term, that translates to a lower total cost of ownership and  the priceless peace of mind that comes from knowing your essential kit won't let you down during the busiest service of the week.

Why Gentle Static Heat Protects Your Profits

Ever wondered why some warmers leave pastries dry and  tough? It often comes down to the type of heat. This unit uses a 'static heat' system, and  understanding it is key. Think of it like a heated plate rather than a hairdryer. There's no fan blowing hot air around; instead, the heat radiates gently and  evenly from the base.

This is crucial for delicate baked goods like croissants, pies, and  sausage rolls. A fan-assisted system can blast the moisture right out of them, ruining their texture. Static heat, however, keeps them warm without drying them out, preserving that flaky, tender quality your customers love. It's the secret to holding food for longer without sacrificing quality, which means less waste and  happier regulars.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafes & Coffee Shops: Ideal for keeping croissants, muffins, and  toasted sandwiches warm and  ready for the morning rush.
  • Bakeries & Delis: Perfectly presents pies, sausage rolls, and  pasties, making this double tier hot food display a countertop star.
  • Workplace & School Canteens: A brilliant, low-maintenance unit for self-service areas, keeping snacks appealing during break times.
  • Mobile Caterers & Event Stalls: Its light weight and  standard plug make it a superb, portable electric food warming showcase.
