How to Choose the Right Commercial Refrigerator for Your Restaurant

The storage capacity of your refrigerator

This is an important decision: If you choose too big, you'll waste energy. Choose one that is too small and there may not be enough room for air to circulate and keep the produce at the desired temperature. When choosing the size of a commercial refrigeration equipment, consider the following factors: your menu, customer volume, opening hours and the amount of food stored at a specific time, remaining space.


Available space in the kitchen

This should be considered when designing your kitchen. If you're in the design phase of your project, we can provide you with some suggestions to help plan the best location for your refrigerator. Fortunately, our commercial refrigerators and freezers are available in a variety of styles and sizes to suit your kitchen's needs. You should also consider: Where the refrigerator is placed – this may affect the type of refrigeration equipment, consider the space in front – this may affect what type of door you need, choose a refrigerator that benefits your employees and creates a better environment.


 What temperature does your product require?

This depends on the purpose of your kitchen, your customer volume, and the types of food you offer on your menu. And then you will know what products you will be storing and at what temperatures they need to be stored safely to avoid bacterial contamination. For example, fresh beef can be kept in the refrigerator with plastic wrap. The temperature of -6 degrees can keep it fresh for about 1 week, and -12 degrees can keep it fresh for about 15 days. Remember that you also need to make sure your refrigerator has enough space for airflow to circulate effectively and operate at the ideal temperature.
