Commercial Food Warmer Displays

Adding a food warmer display to your venue can be a strategic way to increase food sales. Using a display elevates your product presentation and helps entice customers to make a purchase with gentle warmth and aromas of food. Placing the food display warmer near high-traffic areas is an especially effective method of reaching high numbers of potential buyers, so think carefully about where your case will go and which orientation is best. For small spaces, a hot food display case that's narrow and tall can make great use of vertical space. This type of case is also a good fit if you're selling pizzas and other wide, flat products that can be efficiently stacked instead of spread out horizontally.

If you're marketing a variety of products, have plenty of space, and experience high volumes of traffic, a hot food counter with a low, wide design may work better. If the unit has an open front, multiple customers can reach in and grab food at the same time without crowding each other. A wide commercial food warmer display with glass doors provides plenty of space for customers to view products and decide what they want as they wait in line to be served.

Countertop food warmer displays come with as many as 10 shelves, depending on the unit, and can range from under 10 to more than 70 inches in width to accommodate all kinds of food. While some units are designed with flat or angled shelves to hold products, others feature drop-in food wells designed to accommodate hotel pans. Food warmer displays designed for certain applications may even have rotating racks to make products appear more dynamic. No matter which type you choose, remember these displays are only designed to hold hot food at an appetizing temperature; warming displays don't reach temperatures high enough to safely cook food.
