By keeping frozen ingredients, garnishes, or ice right below the counter, under bar freezers save staff from constantly walking to a main coolroom or chest freezer. This layout is optimised for high-volume, fast-paced service environments.
Under bar Freezers
Key Considerations
Hiring under bar freezers is essential for keeping food and beverages frozen for either bulk storage of ingredients or for efficient service of prepared products. When choosing an under bar freezer, firstly determine the size and configuration of the under bar freezer. These units come in various sizes and layouts with different numbers of doors. Choose the configuration that fits the available space and meets your frozen storage requirements. Assess the storage capacity of the under bar freezer in terms of the amount of ingredients it can hold. Ensure it can accommodate the volume of ingredients needed during the event. You also want to ensure that the under bar freezer has adjustable temperature controls to maintain the desired frozen storage temperature for ingredients. Lastly, verify that the location has the necessary electrical connections and voltage to support the under bar freezer’s power requirements, so your event can run smoothly with your under bar freezer to hire.
