Salad Bars and Buffet Bars - A Buying Guide

Commercial salad bars and buffet bars are perfect for hotels, restaurants and cafes looking to allow their customers to serve themselves effectively and save a bit of money on staff costs too!

FOOD DISPLAY BARS

Used on top of an existing counter these units accept standard sized gastronorm pans which can be filled and replaced with stock. Both sides of the display are open to allow customers and staff to gain access. The Lincat FDB5-SSG5 is a popular choice.

SALADETTE COUNTERS

Available to buy in a range of sizes these counters are similar to the standard kitchen counter but with the additional gastronorm pans on top of the unit, which allows the staff to serve from the unit or use it to easily prep food with pre-prepared products. These units have refrigerated storage and prep top space which makes them ideal for kitchen use. The Inomak ZN99 two door saladette counter is an example of all these features.

BUFFET DISPLAY

Buffet displays are front of house units usually available in self-service or assisted service which can include island displays such as the Blizzard GB4 cold buffet display. Often available in matching heated and chilled versions these displays have a gastronorm pan area on top and under storage such as the Igloo gastroline GLC-1000.

COUNTERLINE PRODUCTS

If you are looking to customise your food service display then a Counterline counter has a range of solutions. These units are made to order but are on a short lead time with a huge choice of drop-in wells, and canopy styles. The wells can be chilled, heated or ambient, open or closed fronted or even tiered display. The well can be dropped into a counter design or fitted into a rolling base unit for mobile use.
