Refrigerated Self-Service Buffet Counter
This buffet salad bar counter is designed for chilled display and self-service operation. The stainless steel construction, four GN pan positions, customer tray slide, sneeze guard, and refrigerated lower storage make it suitable for professional buffet service.
4 x GN 1/1 Pan Capacity
The top section holds four GN 1/1 pans. This arrangement gives operators space to display different chilled foods in one service line. It is useful for salads, garnishes, cold starters, cut fruit, chilled desserts, and similar buffet items.
Glass Sneeze Guard for Customer-Facing Display
The glass sneeze guard provides a protective barrier above the food display. This is important in self-service areas where customers approach the counter directly during meal service.
Tubular Tray Slide for Self-Service Flow
The tubular tray slide supports customers as they move along the counter. It helps create a more practical service sequence in buffet lines, cafeterias, staff canteens, and hotel breakfast areas.
Two-Door Refrigerated Base Storage
The lower two-door storage area helps staff keep chilled backup food or service items close to the display counter. This can reduce unnecessary movement to separate refrigeration equipment during busy service periods.
Stainless Steel Construction
The stainless steel body is suitable for professional foodservice areas where regular cleaning and hygienic operation are required. It also gives the buffet counter a clean commercial appearance for front-of-house use.
Practical Buffet Workflow
This unit combines chilled top display and lower refrigerated access in one station. As a result, staff can prepare, refill, and serve chilled buffet products with a more organized workflow.
