What Are the Cold Storage Needs in Restaurant Kitchens?
While no two restaurants are the same, they all generally have the same needs when it comes to cold storage. Factors you’ll have to consider are:
- Available space: The size of your building and its layout will determine the units that may be available to you.
- Storage capacity: Restaurants typically need cold storage for produce, dairy, meats, beverages, prepared foods, and frozen items. The number of items you need to store must be considered.
- Temperatures: Different items need to be kept at different temperatures. Coolers for meats, cheeses, and other refrigerated products should be no higher than 40 degrees Fahrenheit, while freezers should be 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
- Safety: Certain items should be housed separately from others to prevent cross-contamination.
- Ease of access: Items that get used frequently shouldn’t be stored in a hard-to-reach area. Conversely, items that have a longer shelf life and aren’t needed currently can be stored further back.
It’s important to consider these factors before ordering a cooler or freezer for your restaurant to ensure it meets your needs.
What Types of Units Are Available?
Coolers
Coolers are designed to house a wide variety of food and drink items, making them critical for restaurant kitchens. They are meant to keep items at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below, protecting against spoiling and product waste. Customized coolers are great for adding near prep stations.Freezers
Commercial freezers are designed for high-capacity environments, allowing you to house plenty of items inside. This is helpful for restaurants that often rely on bulk orders to keep stock available. Busy restaurants should consider walk-in freezers as they allow room for someone to restock the supply while others grab the items they need.Cooler and Freezer Combination Units
If you’re short on space, these two-in-one units are a great option. They provide dedicated sections for both cooling and freezing environments, with doors and separate temperature settings for each section.
