The patisserie display cabinet is the best unit to display your cakes, bakery, deli & confectionery. Here’s a few hints and tips to help you make the right choice when buying a patisserie display cabinet.
STYLES OF PATISSERIE DISPLAY
There are two main types of unit on offer both with useful features to help you and your staff operate more effectively.
SERVE OVER
These unit are similar to the standard serve over counters in many delis, sandwich shops or butchers with a glass front and service shelf but with a few features that make selling cakes and patisserie viable. To make the most out of the display area in the counter extra shelving is added. This can be up to 3 additional shelves, for example the Igloo Beta and Frilixa Tejo feature 1 refrigerated shelf above the deck and 2 ambient shelves above this shelf. One of the best features on these units is the pull out deck. A feature on the Beta, Tejo and Blizzard Omega, the main display deck is a pull out drawer, allowing the staff to serve from the bottom deck without having to reach into the cabinet.
CABINET
The cabinet style of display is taller than the serve over style with a low front and 4 levels of display. Units can have a fixed back for self-service, or a glass fronted display with doors to the rear for staff access. Because these units have more levels of display they tend not to be available in widths bigger than 1.5m. Due to the increased height of around 1.4m this may mean that service over the unit may not be practical, so additional service counters need to be factored into your design.
TEMPERATURES
Although many of the patisserie displays are for chilled use, in many cases these units have matching heated, ambient and humidity controlled units such as the Norpe Aida range. These allow you to extend your offer to customers while keeping the same look and performance of your equipment.
TRADITIONAL
If you are looking to create a more traditional feel to your display then a wood finished cabinet is what you want. Popular choices are the Igloo Jamaica pastry case and Trimco Zurich range. For a traditional serve-over style the Mafirol Safira confectionery display comes in a wood veneer finish.
CONTEMPORARY
Straight glass and coloured finishes have been a recent trend and if you are looking to create a more stylish and contemporary design the straight glass Igloo Gastroline and Interlevin EVOK match this look. Clean lines and crisp finishes can also be found on the ISA millennium range, another straight glass design.
