The Power of Slim: Space-Saving Solutions for Commercial Kitchens. In busy professional kitchens, getting the right equipment in the right spaces requires meticulous space planning. Every square foot needs to be calculated to maximise efficiency and optimise workflow. This challenge is especially true for refrigeration, as these items are typically bulky. Here’s where slimline refrigerators come in, offering a game-changing solution for hotels, restaurants, cafés, and bars.

Commercial slimline models, like the Sterling Pro BBVF225 (521mm wide), and BBS225WOC (450mm wide) boast impressive capacities in a sleek, compact design. With their smaller footprint, these refrigerators allow for better kitchen organisation. You can free up valuable floor space for additional prep areas, equipment, or even extra seating.

Where can they be used?

Slimline refrigerators can be strategically placed in staff break rooms or back of house storage areas, minimising wasted space and keeping refreshments readily available. They can serve as overflow storage for specific items, like condiments or pre-portioned ingredients, keeping them chilled and readily accessible to staff. These units can be seamlessly integrated into bar counters, providing easy access to beverages without sacrificing precious customer-facing space.

In bars, restaurants, and cafes, slimline fridges are perfect for storing a good selection of chilled beverages easy to reach by bartenders and servers. Effortlessly fitting into tight spots, making it ideal for smaller kitchens or where space is at a premium. But their functionality extends beyond just small spaces. These slim fridges can also be used as an infill unit between two larger beverage units, providing dedicated storage for specialty items like craft beers, or even a designated water station. While not as large as display refrigerators, some slimline models with glass doors can showcase specific drinks or beverages in cafes or specialty stores.

Overall, commercial slimline fridges offer a space-saving solution for the hospitality sector, ensuring efficient storage and retrieval of chilled in various settings.

Don’t be fooled by the slim size. These refrigerators deliver robust cooling performance, ensuring food and beverage items stay perfectly chilled throughout the day.
